Following yesterday's + Show Spoiler [WTL Winter Playoffs] +

loss to ONSYDE in finals

, manager Grzegorz "MaNa" Komincz of Team Liquid announced the immediate recruitment of three new players (pictured above) to help "improve the team's depth" and deal with "situations in which we cannot use Clément Desplanches (Clem)." The full interview is translated below:

Team Liquid Manager MaNa "I am very excited about the new players"

-Why the sudden recruitment of three new players?
▲ After our finals with ONSYDE, I thought about our team dynamic and decided recruiting these three players was the best solution going forward. I hope that PirateTerran, MoustacheTerran, and LiquidsucksBallsWithoutMe can give our team the edge it needs to not have such losses in the future

- Every new player is of the Terran race
▲ I chose to bolster our Terran lineup the most with this new recruitment. Often while playing important matches, when we would lose Clem there were very few godlike S-class map-defying Terrans to choose from in the lineup, which would cause a defeat. WIth this new recruitment we will have more choice.

- Very similar in looks to Clem.
▲ This is very false, please do not print something so incorrect. You can notice, for example, that PirateTerran wears an eyepatch and MoustacheTerran has a large nose, both of which Clem does not. Clearly they are very different.

- Many players have been kicked off the team
▲ It is very saddening to have to lose a team member, but with the addition of the three new players it is decided to let go of Cure, Elazer, and SKillous. Fans who are disappointed may enjoy to hear that we have still kept many of our old players - such as Clem.

- New team photo?
▲ No the new players are too shy to pose for a group photo. Perhaps they can have an individual photoshoot with 2-7 minutes between each player's pictures.

- Any last words?
▲ We hope the fans will support the new team members and we look forward to many more wins under the new strategy.

Wow this is pretty cool news as a Liquid fan. I wonder what Clem thinks about all the new TvT practice partners hes gonna get - I heard all three of these guys are absolutely insane in that matchup

I am excited by the new arrivals for Team Liquid. I feel these players will bolster the power of the existing roster of MaNa, Cure, Elazer, and Skillous by quite a bit!!
