I heard eg needs a new zerg Best Ukrainian? That's really hotly contested at the moment, what with Strelok, Bly and Kas also doing very very well recently, arguably better than DIMAGA. Anyway, I wouldn't worry about him. With someone of DIMAGA's skill level and reputation, it's probably more a case of him waiting for a good deal rather than no team wanting to pick him up. And even then, I think he's doing alright even without a team.  | ||

LOL. 4-0'd his WCS group and got some pretty good results in online cups? Clearly too old to compete. ;p | ||

If Shuttle shows up for WCS EU nobody cares, if Dimaga shows up, the crowd goes crazy. Thats the reason why IdrA was/is one of the most earning players: he has a huge fanbase. | ||

It's at least consoling to know that when he streams he usually gets a large viewership which should support him financially for the time being. I don't want age to be a factor in someone's retirement when he still has so much more to bring to the table in eSports. Dimaga is has a good personality and is practically a celebrity in the foreign eSports scene. Even if he is picked up as a coach for some team that should be good enough too, as long as he can continue to help grow the community and influence other players in a positive manner. I remember when he played in the GSL Korea vs World tournament where his talent really shined through. It is obvious that his level of skill has been lackluster of late and that he possibly won't be able to compete against the very best of the best, but that does not mean that he should completely quit the scene. Gogo Dimaga! | ||

And to someone else saying he isnt the best ukrainian, its just my opinion. | ||

I heard eg needs a new zerg Navi returning was because they merged with FXO.Europe, (making FXO sponsor while navi has the team). Obviously then Dimaga isn't going to be in the lineup, intitially at least. | ||
