Poor hydra, I hate to say it but expect his retirement in the next 12 months
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

Supernova, Hydra, Major. Thats a good line up. Illusion, minigun, masa and Petraeus are not pushovers either. With liquid, accer, myinsanity, millennium and now root, ATC is looking really fun in 2015.

I don't think people think about how restrictive the Kespa environment could be, especially as a young man.

It's totally understandable for people to seek these new experiences, I hope this means we might see a bit of streaming action too. As regards any potential athlete's visa, I can't imagine that being with Kespa for so long will be detrimental to that.

So now he gets a visa and moves into the root house right?
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

It makes perfect sense tbh. If you're in the top percent in skill, why not branch out to foreign teams. There are so many examples of Koreigners who are doing well.

Good catch by Catz. Maybe hydra will learn some peruvian jungle tactics.

We haven't had a liquid retirement in a long time. TaeJa going to the military doesn't count.

Interesting. How is he going to be able to play in WCS NA after the 2015 changes?


If they're moving him into the house, I'd imagine they're already working on the necessary paperwork.

Living in the US for 3 months at a time on a visa waiver or visitor visa doesn't let you play in WCS AM though (not to mention you're not supposed to be "working" on such a visit). Can Catz really secure an athlete visa for him?

Isn't Catz friends with the guys who helped Violet and Polt get the same visa? Maybe they will help him as they have more experience with that.

He would have retired anyway because of his wrists

Mvp didn't and his wrists were worse, I think?

I'm just saying Taeja has been talking about retiring for awhile now. I don't think it is just because of his military service

How bad must CJ's offer have been for him to accept ROOT's offer?

Different but pretty equally debilitating conditions iirc.

Also Mvp has been a progamer a good bit longer than Taeja
