Good lord, they actually signed a non-Zerg. Never thought I'd see the day.

Haha, the "imaginary family." Sounds kind of depressing. Now they just need a Dane and they can be the imaginary Scandinavians.

Anyhow, gl to Welmu!

Hopefully everything works out. As long Welmu is happy with his team I'm all good, even though it isn't one of the more notable teams many would have hoped for Vesa.
why even

No Teamliquid?

He would be perfect for TL.

I feel like Welmu deserve a better, top-tier team, like TL or Millenium.

For the latter, I was expecting Mill.Welmu when they invited him for an offline cup in team house. At that time Llewellys (Millenium manager) looked like he really liked Welwu and if I remember correctly he was already teamless.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

Welmu is damn good, when he's motivated and practicing. I wouldn't say he's a top foreigner but he's made some good runs in WCS Europe.

I still remember his Twitter the day before he 4-0 his group, especially 2-0 MC

Remember, Welmu is a part-time pro gamer, part-time student. I'm guessing bigger teams would not consider adding a part-time player.

Congratulations to Welmu and Imaginary Gaming!

Welmu has always had some problems with motivation and long term practicing. His health issues might play big part in this who knows. Imo this is very good team for him. GL and HF Welmu!
