It is a pleasure to announce to the community that StrfeCro (formerly EGStrifeCro) will be joining Team Legion as our second North American coach. Earlier in the month we announced Destructive joining our roster as the teams Head Coach. The addition of StrifeCro as our second NA coach will ensure that our players always have practice partners and an outlet for improvement.
LgNStrifeCro I am glad to join Team Legion as a coach. I'll be helping out our players with strategy and tactics and hopefully we can grow as a team and show some good results
LgNDarigaz - Team Owner It is really exciting to have StrifeCro join Team Legion. He is experienced in the competitive scene, and is a very talented player who has a lot to offer to our players. With this addition along with our training regime in korea, I am confident that we will have a successful year in 2012.
Team Legion would also like to welcome a new manager to our staff team. Arlock (formerly VTArlock) will be managing the team with LgNDoji. Both of these managers will help keep things running smoothly while we continue to participate competitively in North America and Korea. Arlock has a significant amount of experience in e-sports, and will be helping to orchestrate some exciting new developments with the team.
LgNArlock I am looking forward to helping out with the management for LgN. I hope my experiences since the beta with other teams help improve the future of Team LgN and it's players. LgN Hwaiting!
LgNDarigaz - Team Owner Over the past few months Doji has been doing an excellent job at managing the team. But with new developments in the team we both feel it is a good idea to bring in a second manager. I know Arlock will do a great job given his experience and motivation. I wish him the best of luck.
Our roster: Protoss: Boss, Chita, Luxury, Theory Terran: Avilo, Specialist, Blackman Zerg: Mystic, JimRising, AuRora Head Coach: Destructive Coach: StrifeCro

Big Gratz to Strifecro. Really glad that he found a new team so quickly
|
very nice!! two awesome people.
|
Awesome for StrifeCro. I was getting worried a bit that he was going to find a new position but having him as a coach sounds awesome.
And Mystic hwaiting!
|
Good for Strifecro, found a good, new team. Quite quickly to boot, too.
|
Interesting to see him join as a coach and not a player. Gratz none the less.
|
Erm interesting pick up by Legion. Definitely good on their end, that's for sure. I'm very interested in what the agreement between coach* and team is, doubt I'll ever know; but that aside LgN has been having a lot of attention lately which is great for them. Wish you guys the best ^_^
|
Cool. GL to strife and LGN
|
oo surprised strifecro is listed as a coach and not a player
|
Use to be FL buddies with Arlock back in Beta and early release, glad he found a team. :D
Strife a coach?!?
|
lol, chita.
good luck strifecro
|
Gratz to both parties i wish nothing but the best for all of you....Strifecro is a beast i wish he was a player instead of a coach but w/e works for him....GL HF !!!
|
welcome to the team, coach strifecro!
|
AWESOME! ♥ go congers! ^^
|
Best of luck to both players!!
Arlock such a cool guy too.
|
gl to strifeco glad he found a team
|
Arlock? When's the last time he managed a team o_O??
|
I hope this works out well for all the parties involved!
|
wow surprised by Strifecro now being a coach. Is he giving up on being a competitive player?

|
So happy Cro found a team Unfortunately this might pit him against Axslav, which would make me sad
Anyways, gj strifecro!
|
Awesome. Good luck to StrifeCro and Team Legion.
|
Lol to the people saying he was quitting SC2. Strifecro is a great player and I am really happy that he has found a new home. I definitely think he has the right mind set to be a good and effective coach. Can't wait to see how much the helps team LgN. I hope they are successful with having a dedicated coach, and other foreigner teams will follow!
|
so is strifecro quiting? why as a coach?
|
Wait how does this affect StrifeCro's role as a player? Really happy he found a home though o.o
|
dont wanna be a negative nancy but... its seems like hes being picked up as a practice partner cuz hes not good enough to be a player but just given the title "coach"

He was picked as a coach/practice partner because he is far and away they best player on the team. Perhaps captain was a more appropriate title?
The way they worded it sounds like his knowledge of the competitive scene (Being on eg, practicing with them, attending lans etc) would be good to pass on to the rest of the team, as well as his superior skill, giving him a coach role.
|
IdrA, DeMusliM, and iNcontroL have repeatedly stated that StrifeCro's help has been invaluable in the house, so that's not that big a surprise.
|
maybe.... but he isnt captain hes a coach. History seems to say that you become a coach when you're career as a pro player ends. Maybe Strifecro will be the exception but when your time is dedicated to coaching its hard to keep up with practice
|
interesting pickups, but your roster is starting to look pretty snazzy.
best of luck
|
Oh cool. GL to all the parties involved!
|
Good luck to both players and the team
|
Glad to see strifecro sticking around the scene.
|
StrifeCro should play for the team and build up an epic rivalry in 1v1 with Axslav.. "YOU USED TO BE MY BROTHER"
Wasn't there something about that Desrow left Legion, because they couldn't afford providing the things he needed? Or am I mistaken? If that's the case it just seems weird they hired two new people, but again I'm not sure..
|
YEAA Arlock. gj man
cant really say I know any of the other people though but good luck to them! ><

Congratulations to both! Maybe now Trump will play SC2 again? I've been missing his stream lately.

As far as months ago. It's not recent.
|
really happy for strifeco hope he continues to work hard and post some good results this tourny season :D
|
Coach Strifecro? Cool, but I guess that means Strifecro's career as a progamer might just be done then.
|
congrats cong

I saw "StrifeCro and Arlock join Team L-" and I was like WHAAAAT!
Oh, Legion. Not Liquid. Hahahaha.
StrifeCro as a coach? Interesting.
Best of luck to you guys!
|
Awesome addition to LgN. Way to go guys. I'm looking forward to seeing LgN grow throughout the year.
|
Grats! hope both of you do very well!
|
|
Wow, arlock has been gone for a while too

Congrats on some odd pickups. Best of luck.
|
legion is getting a very scary lineup with a lot of depth...I see good things for you all in 2012 and beyond!
was a little worried arlock was coming in as a player when I saw topic title as he isn't really at the same level as the rest of the team..but he'll do good as a manager.
|
I'm not sure why you'd bring Strifecro as a coach only (unless he's not interested in playing). He'd be the only decent player on the roster, unless that's THE luxury.
|
Well I haven't really heard much of the team or seen them in tournaments but good luck brotha
I'm sure it's pro or something close to it
|
Nice pick-ups! Probably two of the most talented players out there!
|
|
Arlock y u no join ftact? I thought we was bros
|
|
great pickup on StrifeCro, hope he helps LgN.AuRora a lot, the girl has tons and tons of potential. LgN Fighting
|
this will be so good
|
glglgl StrifeCro & Arlock!
|
no matter how many people legion joins, they will be unable to fill the massive gap left by desrow
|
strifecro i understand but arlock? im sure there are much better candidates
edit: oh its more management nvm, goodluck!
|
Why is Trump not listed in the OP?
|
grats on both.
I can image Arlock trolling the team a lot in chat (he did that a lot in VT).
|
Great to see former players managing and coaching teams... I think many of them would make seriously excellent managers, they just all want to continue playing.
StrifeCro is a great and very smart player, and Arlock is a great guy to have around and I can definitely see him helping out a lot. Great for Legion!

When's the last time he's played SC2? I can't recall o.o

Hooray for StrifeCro finding a team so fast!
|
Awesome pickups for Team Legion!
Trump hasn't been on the team for some time. I think they did a press release for that?
|
|
WOHOO nice pICK^_^ MOre power to Team Legion^_^
|
Yay! I got coaching from Strife once and he was great. I'm obviously not as good as the people on LgN but he's got the knack for it. Very happy for him :D
|
|
Damn. StrifeCro went from being on a top team to a team almost unheard of. Kind of sad to see.
|
Thanks to everyone for such kind words, I'll do my best to make you all proud!
|
hmmm I feel like strifeco can match or outmatch a bunch of people on the player roster, but having more coaches is definitely a good thing. GL to him, enjoyed watching him play.
