Kaelaris hints aren't so useful ;D

I think Hasu or Socke would be the best guesses since Roccat heroes disbanded last month (as mentioned before). Since Socke didn't seem too enthusiastic about SC2 before switching to heroes, I'd guess it has to be HasuObs.

And stop suggesting Dimaga - he never retired.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

Well if it is really one of the best foreigners then the list is pretty short: Thorzain, Idra, Stephano, Naniwa and Jinro.

I highly doubt it is Jinro. Idra, as much as I want him to return probably isn't. So that leaves Stephano, Thorzain and Naniwa.

Just please let it be Idra.

Stephano played in Nation Wars, so it's not him. Naniwa has been 'back' for a while.

Jinro, Idra and Thorzain are the only real possibilities here.

Those saying Grubby probably aren't aware of the fact he is making a pretty healthy living out of Heroes streaming/casting. Same people may not be aware Vortix and Lucifron are playing for Liquid's Heroes team. Same goes for Hasuobs and Socke who play for Roccat (if they were ever considered in this discussion).

I really hope it's Grack. He was the reason I got into SC2 to begin with. And he'd definitely be a reason to get into LoTV. I guess.

Speaking of which... Thorzain should be finishing his school by now I think? Or was he studying medicine so it's longer?

Who is so big that they can't casually announce their return? That they deserve this kind of hype?

Who could return to the next foreigner tournament and become a focus of the show? And isn't openly playing the game currently?? There's just no one I can think of that is remotely realistic.

I'm just expecting an underwhelming announcement of another forgettable upper tier foreigner to be added to the mix. I suggest others keep their expectations low. Expect someone like Hasu, not someone like Mondragon.

Level I had.

Definitely european. Luci/vortix/thorzain/white-ra would all make sense for me. But I think luci and vortix are still playing heroes, so thorzain or white-ra :d? Though I don't think it's white-ra, sooooooo I'm guessing thorzain.

EDIT: And yeah it's not me haha, but thx for thinking of me @ all the people who guessed it was me.

Dimaga also makes sense, but didn't he retire quite recently? Or is my sense of time really bad :D?


Thanks for confirming, or maybe just misdirecting all of us Jinro
Then out of nowhere, BAM! Jinro returns and starts tearing shit up in LotV.

Yup, absolutely agree, I am curious now but the hype has gone after knowing it wasn't Jinro, IdrA or Stephano, and I know for sure it isn't WhiteRa but I am happy with his stream actually.

That's how I expect it to be. I think the only player that would shock me would be Idra or Jinro (who already said it wasn't him). I know it isn't Idra and I just can't think of any other "top" foreigner that would unretire.

Scarlett isn't retired, Naniwa is Naniwa, Huk hasn't retired... Oh well we'll find out eventually lol.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I would kill for it to be Jinro's return. He's best, in my opinion. I've missed him ever since he stopped playing. I loved his stream.
Proud to be a mod for Polt, coLqxc, Sterling, Gamegene (Rebecca), Trump, Fnatic.Rain [retired], and Liquid'Jinro [retired]!!! <3 Manner up! <3 / Knowing the worst case situation makes one amply prepared.
