I dont see any news in this article not presented in the other thread. Not thread worthy IMO. The other thread should be locked up. It's an announcement of an announcement now. It doesn't matter if there's no new info. This one is confirmed by slasher and you can take it to the bank cause his sources are legit.
My point it if Slashes confirms Bomber as a winner of WCS-Season 2 it does not make it thread worthy "just because". Everybody already knows he won.
These are old news and all information, hints, photo-retouches are in the other thread along with 35 pages of comments. Seems weird to start a new one to "confirm" what was already confirmed by everyone.

so the real question now is how the rest of STX is going to be picked apart by Kespa and non-Kespa teams...
or if this is like EG signing JD and STX continues with a stripped down roster

And i am a bit worried for Innovation wether he is able to maintain his level without a full teamhouse environment.
They still have a teamhouse though.
They don't got a full staff behind him, and a line of practice partners.

I thought for sure it was going to be Maru

Yeah.. how the hell did that happen all of a sudden haha

We knew who it was the moment the shadowed figure was shown. If the face fits, it must be Innovation.

I really do hope he stays in Korea doing his stuff there. It's more exciting to see him in Korea.

I am shocked that EG and TL let this slip. MMA, Innovation and Scarlett training together in Korea will set expectations for some strong results. Congratulations to Acer for this massive catch.
They went straight to Innovation himself and got him before anyone even realized.

Things heating up in the foreigner teams! Now i pray to gods that EG signs Jaedong for another year, but i bet KESPA are feeling hella stingy right now after what just went down..

Cant wait to see the friendship between two of my favorite terran players of all time

Not really surprising. There really are no advantages for top Korean players to stay in Korea anymore. There used to be the $50,000 GSL seasons, but with the WCS system, winning the Korean season gives you the same amount of money as if you win the European or American season. In the end, everything is about making it to Blizzcon, and what is the best way to make it to Blizzcon? Go to as many foreign tournaments as possible and accumulate points/money. On a KeSPA team, you're tethered to Proleague schedule and have to go through strenuous qualifiers to have a chance to go to these tournaments. On Acer, he can go to any foreign tournament he wants, pick any region he wants for 2014, and he can go the Jaedong/Polt route of racking up WCS points without having to go through the always changing and challenging Korean region.

I still can't believe this! Acer must be doing something right to be able to pick him up.

Plus going out and about may help him develop emotions.

TLDR Fion not impressed. International scene is where it's at, only natural.
Pretty crazy to see the 'best player in the world' ? to join a foreign team though. Can't wait to see him at other events outside korea

What a capture. Well done!

Good job on trying to get that "leaked" information out to all the fans first! It was pretty much well known in the previous threads where you also pretty much got your "sources" from...
