TeamLiquid and Incredible Miracle have announced a partnership that will have Liquid's (P)HerO train at the IM house as well as compete in the upcoming Proleague season as part of the IM roster. Said HerO:

"I was always close with IM head coach Kang "Hirai" Dong Hoon, and when EG-TL disbanded I asked him if it would be possible to stay at the IM house. Fortunately, things worked out between TL and IM, and we've formed a partnership that lets me stay at the IM house and compete in Proleague. I'm excited to have another chance to play in Proleague and prove myself, and I plan to have fun. I'll do my best alongside IM, so please cheer for us!"

According to Liquid owner Nazgul, TaeJa will not be participating.

Liquid and IM also announced their cooperation on unspecific future projects.

Should add Nazgul's quote about why Taeja is not playing to answer all the inevitable questions

EDIT: And here it is.

THIS is great news! How about Taeja, though?

TaeJa prefers to practice from home and has no desire to play in Proleague. Practicing in a team house is specifically in line with what HerO wanted.

IM so ready for PvProleague now, haha.

This is so cool, my two favourite teams together in Proleague (Albeit HerO will be the sole TL player)! Makes me very happy, I'm all giddy waiting for Proleague now, even more so than before.

Will it mean that other players can join eventually (Snute, TLO etc) when they want to?
