Yesssss. Welcome back! =) 2016 started great so far! No player that i cheer for has retired, now even one comes back!

Really? you must be a terran or korean hater right? :D. MMA,flash,Parting,Hyun,Fantasy...These names alone let me cry a river


PartinG isn't retiring.

It's not confirmed yet. The question is who wants to pick up a Korean player who>
- cannot play in proleague(if PL will be played this year)
- is not qualified for both 1v1 leagues and thus is missing half of the season in Korea
- has no athletic visa or other excuse to play foreign tournaments

Why would you pick a player like Parting?

Well, I hope for the best, but ...

Anyway, another Zerg on the foreign scene, hmm. how about some Terran love?
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

What do you mean it's not confirmed yet? Parting confirmed that he will keep playing sc2 in 2016.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

mma is kinda sad, but not one of my favorite players. i disliked parting and flash and didnt care about hyun and fantasy.

I am more into herO, Creator, Hurricane, sOs, Zest, Dream, Cure, Rogue, Dark, Curious.
May be a very odd combination, i agree, it's mine nonetheless.

Shine and Hack and Terminator were sad as well though.

The former, I don't think the game will be able to as it simply lacks depth/skillcap.


Very few popular games have a skillcap that gets close to SC2. Even the "hard" MOBA, DOTA 2, does not have a higher skill cap. Who do you think even hit the skill cap...? Is it hypothetically possible? Especially after LOTV increased it quite a bit?

Anyway, I do agree with you regarding "depth", which does seem to be improved in LOTV so far, and Blizzard has made it clear that they're working on at least some components of depth still.

It seems to me that he's talking about Heroes of the Storm, not SC2 I think. I could be wrong though.

Hes not off to a good start by missing DH tho. Surely #1 rank EU means he's ready enough for it ?

Well, we cannot see that this is true, right? Because all the reasons I wrote. In a half year many things can happen.(the first half of this year Parting already missed in Korea) T1 could agree to let Parting play in PL, for example.

Is this the death of teamliquid Heroes of the Storm? The duran brothers were the core of the team, firing everyone else just a few months back...

I hope they keep a team! Blizzard will make sure there is stuff to fight for next year! I dont understand why HotS has such an underwhelming following!

Can't speak for anyone else, but for me watching and playing it after being a part of dota 2 for so long, it felt like I was hanging out in the kiddie pool. Maybe I just didn't play for long enough, but it did nothing to keep me interested and I couldn't feel any real depth.


Sad it wasn't someone interesting like Idra, not that I held any real hope. But Vortix was a solid foreign Zerg so will be interesting to see how he does upon his return.
