NesTea leaves Incredible Miracle - Page 7

TeamLiquid did receive a press release via email from GEM. This not an April Fool's joke on TeamLiquid's end.

Korean media outlets such as ThisIsGame, DailyEsports, PGR21.com, Fomos and Inven have reported the story as well.

double april fool's. the real joke is that everyone thinks it's a joke and then realizes it's real. april foolception


that would make sense if it was good news

i don't think april fool's pranks have to have a happy ending to be good pranks


Heh, you mean like Eclypsia's April Fools?

Im honestly devastated.


I read the thread and honestly if they are going to make a joke of it then it would have to have a next team in line or some sort of mass exodus of players from one team to another. As it stands, the release is just sad. If it is a joke it is in horrible taste.

End of an era. Not surprising however since any mid class foreigner can take on nestea nowadays, it must be hard to stay in shape while being married.
Has foreign StarCraft hit rock bottom?

Unfortunately is not an april joke. But we have to be realists and Nestea did a good step, leaving his place for younger players. He is incredible powerful for a person of his age, but he's no longer a top zerg player. If IM find a good substitute, may be they shall perform better in the Proleague in the near future. Nestea won everything he desired for and he can't regret for anything.

Seems like the cool thing to do for April Fool's is to announce things which aren't funny but might be possible, purely to confuse people. That seems kind of dumb.

Either that or neither IM's nor Valve's PR guys own calendars.

I think this one is a set up joke for his sons getting recruited by IM


I'm on board with the idea that his son joining IM would be a joke, though this seems legit. Doesn't seem like he's retiring, seems, based on his statement, that he wants to do more gaming and less management stuff. At least that's my interpretation, I aint exactly an insider.

Nestea is still my chant when I make a bazillion of banelings and explode everything! And no April 1st or team change will change this! NESTEA!1!
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

So, if this is not an April Fools joke, why would anyone make such an announcement on April 1st? Couldn't you just wait a day, or push this announcement out a day earlier?
