Anyone complaining, should shut their mouth and open their eyes. While they are open, use them to watch the games Zenio and HerO have provided us. You can open your mouth again at this point, as your jaw hits the floor in awe. Now add another player capable of such skill. What the hell do you have to complain about? Why is race or nationality even an issue. It sickens me.
Keep up the BOSSSSS recruitment work TL, I am loving the roster.
most forum members mocked Zenio and called him washed up and old, and now retaining code s is suddenly "wow" while when he was at oGs it was "he's always there but he'll never be top zerg like nestea/leenock/drg/insert next zerg hope" i can understand getting HerO ho was nobody, but Zenio and now Taeja, it just doesnt seem "Liquid thing to do" :/
LOL signing good, community-friendly, team-supportive, capable players with great potential doesn't seem to be all that bad does it?
no it doesnt, i never said it does i said it doesnt feel the same ofcourse i can "remember that its all about winning to maintain sponsors/team strong/bla bla", but i dont have to... its not my job, its a fan thing, and in real sports you dont cheer for those you can't relate to
you can't relate to the Koreans, because they're Korean aka not white basically is what you're saying
no. you're just being evil with no reason, please don't. its like football, you dont cheer for real madrid if you're from naples, or athens, or istanbul. you can support real madrid, but you would never "die" for them, like you would for Napoli, PAO, Fenerbahce... if you don't understand what i just wrote, you can't understand what i'm trying to say, honestly. and if you do, just replace people from Naples cheering for Napoli with people from west cheering for "foreigners"
Bad example. For your example to be accurate, if you were from Madrid, your team would have to acquire only players from Madrid, or you "wouldnt be able to relate to them". Liquid is like the cities in your example, Taeja is one of the players on your team, which is multicultural. You are just being racist.
you obviously dont understand anything about real sports, and especially football... Naples doesnt live Napoli because players are from Naples, in fact, their greatest and most glorious times were with Diego Maradona dont comment if you dont understand please, its just flame baiting and getting the crowd to turn on me 
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. I am extremely athletic, and I follow sports daily. If you chear for a team, you dont give a shit about the race of the individual players on your team, you care about your team, because that is your identity. If you are a MAN U fan, and they signed, any world class player from another nation, say Messi, are they going to not be able to identify with him or cheer for him because hes Argentinian and not British? No, they will like him, because he makes their TEAM (which is what they are passionate about) better.

@snailz
I'm not sure what you mean by the "liquid thing to do". I could be misinterpreting you, but it seems like you have this idea that liquid is doing something wrong by recruiting a lot of top level players, when that's something that every team SHOULD actually be doing.
Liquid's original roster was sick for its time, Nazgul had been playing really well during the early stages of SC2, and Nony was one of the most successful foreign brood war players along with Ret. Huk was a very strong up and comer who had been showing good results in big tournaments, which led to him getting signed as well.
It's good for a team to add new players, especially top Korean players ones like Taeja. I know TL always had a "homely" feel to it, which might have been your original point, but they've always strived to find top players to represent them, it's how the team grows after all.

It seems like every team is only picking up Koreans nowadays. All the foreign teams will soon no longer be foreign. Fnatic's last 3 pickups were Korean and is now starting a Korean pro house. TL's last 3 pickups were Korean. FXO now only has a single foreigner on the team. I have nothing against Koreans, but all these foreigner teams slowly transforming into Korean teams makes it hard to root for the underdog (i.e. foreigners in most cases).
This also does not bode well for aspiring foreign pros. They're more likely to get dropped from a team in place of a better Korean than picked up by one. And if they do get picked up, it will most likely not be a top tier team in which case they will not be able to make a living off of it. Then again, they don't have anyone to blame but themselves for not being as good as Koreans.
Anyway, gl to Taeja and TL.Last edit: 2012-03-29 08:34:46 |

Nah mang, Zenio is still just average. People just aren't comfortable saying that on the Liquid homepage, obviously. So you can only see the blind fanboys that are convinced he's a god because of the color of his t-shirt. A "vocal minority". Taeja however, that guy is a baller. Just got no attention because he's Terran, like half of the GSL. He actually deserves them fanboys he will get now.
ZeniO... Average??????? Code S isn't average...
He's not in Code S any longer though, and he's been struggling pretty hard to hold on to his Code S spot each time. |

Excuse my bias, but Zenio has hit Code S 8 times. What would he have to do to put him above average?
Win something?

This is just so awesome. Great job Nazgul and Team Liquid. Taeja is not only a great player, but a great team player. I have always admired him and his play in teamleagues. I heard about his prowess in online tournaments, but I sadly didn't have time to watch those games.
Then the game he won to keep Boxer in GSL was so epic, I became a huge fan forever. Just the way he stepped into the booth, he looked so excited and ready to play. (I made a post in the LR thread as the game started, can't find it now though). I was so nervous, but as soon as I saw his expression I knew I was in for a good game. He did not disappoint.
But I don't think I realized how much I loved seeing him play until just now. Congrats on this pick-up and congrats to Taeja. Team Liquid is just a collection of good people. Thanks for this beautiful website, and thanks for this inspiring team. |

Youre putting down a teams actions because of the race of one of its players it picked up, and justifying it using horrible logic, which I showed you (twice I may add) was flawed. Instead of being a dick and ignoring what I am typing, read it. It makes perfect sense. |
