I don't follow SC2 much but I feel like this kid has a good potential, he was a beast couple years ago when no one knew Serral or Reynor. Hope he delivers soon!

I miss the days when Elazer was a perennial contender for top 4s of EU tournaments, such an exciting style. Hopefully he can get back to that level with the support of TL!

Funnily enough in 2017 he seemed as good or better than Serral while being of similar age. He somehow couldn't elevate his play this much though.

Now that I think about it: I wonder if TL let Harstem go, since they already had a Protoss in MaNa but needed a Zerg, but having Harstem and Elazer on their payroll was too expensive? And as a bonus, Shopify got a Protoss, which they didn't have.

I'm also wondering myself if the SC2 team even has any economic value for Liquid or if it is just a thing of "we a born from Starcraft, so TL needs a SC2-team!" Since it is kind of curious that Liquid is basically the only big org that still has a team in SC2 if I'm not mistaken. Like sure, ENCE, Mouz and BIG have one player, but besides that? The only other kind of bigger name I can think of is Freecs, but every other team in SC2 is either a full-on SC2-team or just not a big org.

Congrats to TL and Elazer! <3

(I kinda missed Harstem and uThermal leaving TL. Or Ben joining TL in the AoE team. I would have expected more coverage on that. But then again I'm not on Twitter etc, otherwise I would have probably known)

TL has like a million retired players (MaNa even joked that Harstem was the first players since forever to actually leave the team), so I didn't notice it either, but yeah, they thinned out extremly hard. But I guess you don't really need more than four players anyway, when WTL is literally the only team leage worth mentioning :/

Was Harstem the first person to leave and join a new team since like, HuK or something?

Either that or Ret switching to Qlash, but he was inactive for like 4 years when he did that, so I really think HuK is their last transfer before Harstem :D
