They've got TLO, Snute, Bunny and Mana as mainstays and Ret, Vortix and Taega who are either new, old or soon retiring. Liquid StarCraft is not going away any time soon.
Swing away sOs, swing away.

TLO, Snute, Bunny and Mana have been performing well, Vortix just returned to Starcraft, Taeja just got into Code S.

Well unless he's got a long time on his contract. WCS will seal Taeja's fate soon enough

Pretty sure Taeja is just waiting for military service. Nothing to do with new WCS.

Like if it was written in the stars, HerO was one of the players that made me feel goosebumps and made me love Liquid as a team who seeks new talent, great personalities and always top-notch sportsmanship instead of risen stars or the biggest names in the industry.

300 comments later (from my account) I'm reading HerO parting ways with Liquid.

Might not mean much, but this comment goes to you. Thank you. So many great memories. Good luck going forward.

yeah it's a sad thing for TL fans. But the amount of people talking about this, like it's Doomsday is crazy. He isn't retiring, he just get's a new team. Even if he retires, life continues you know? Sc2 now being a smaller and smaller esport every year isn't the end of the world, just play the game and enjoy what's still up. It's about managing expectations and appreciating what dedicated Fans and professionals create.

Also: Teamliquid and Hero not finding acceptable terms for both sides is not the fault of WCS. TL is reevaluating their priorities in Esports too i imagine, which is a fair and smart thing to do and Hero just can have better offers. Yes those changes influence the overall economical decision, but let's be real, Sc2 has been on a sponsorhip bubble for the longest time actually, getting more financial influx then creating surplus. Now that this situation is nearing it's end, we will see the true core of the Sc2 fanbase. Im excited for that. And not in a good way.

HerO,

Thank you. I will never forget you either. Your time has been precious to us, to me. You have given so much to your dream, and we have gained so much from your passion. I thank you for that experience you've provided. It's been a wonderful, exciting, dramatic, and ecstatic time. I look forward to your future success. Whatever your future holds, remember that people have believed in you wholeheartedly, and at whatever endeavor you pursue, remember us people that believed in you. HerO hwaiting!

Well, guess its not surprising. The WCS changes have indeed played a great role here. I can't say I was HerO's #1 fan or anything but I reckon that I've watched some of his games in the past and liked his association with TL. Best of luck to HerO! Fighting ~

Most people say fuck WCS, LOL

Just say it clearly. ITS BLIZZARD. So many mistakes a child would have never let happen. Sabotaging their own games. D3, SC2, they can keep overwatch for themselves.

Taejas was supposed to be retired ages ago due to his wrist problems + military service. I don't think he's anywhere near full-time like earlier years.

C'mon, it's directly written there that it's WCS. And then HerO posted details on Twitter. Based on WCS they want to lower HerO's money into unacceptable levels(for HerO) thus they separated.

The one for blaming is WCS(Blizzard). Don't pretend it's not.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

It's not like HerO has done well at IEM's or DH's lately anyways. Surely he would have been getting a reduced contract regardless.

Blizzard has to do something to boost the non-Korean scene if the game is going to be around for more than a few years. I don't know if this was the best method of doing it, but Korea has to step up and provide some more tournaments for Korean players that doesn't rely on Blizzard money, just like the EU and US scenes have.

Yes, but probably not that harsh.

WHAT? EU and US scene tournaments are directly supported by Blizzard! Is this a sarcasm I didn't get?

Still, there are a couple of independent events, such as HSC. It`s always been a huge problem for Korea to not having a functional tournament scene, apart from GSL/Proleague.
