Is TL just not recruiting or are these players rejecting TL offers? It's been an awful long time since Liquid recruited another sc2 player. I wonder what's going on. | ||

Lucifron and Vortix went to Mouz, Jjakji to mYinsanity, and now possibly Innovation to Acer. If you think about it, the last TL recruitment was in January 2013 (about 8 months ago) with Snute.

TL has never been the mass recruiting kind of team, although their team is looking kind of small these days with sheth now permanently retired. | ||

At one time Liquid had 9-10 active sc2 players. Then Jinro, Haypro, and Sea retired. Nony left the team and Sheth became inactive (not to mention Huk leaving). In 2010, they recruited 5 players, 2011: 3 players, 2012: 2 players, 2013: 1 players. It's not really about recruiting, but more about replenishing their retired/inactive players. At the rate of players retiring to TL recruiting more players, it's going in the wrong direction. I just hope they recruit to replenish their roster. | ||

TL recruits good people as well as people who are good players. If you look at all the people on that roster they are usually really good human beings. TL players have a high standard so I think they take a lot of time when they decide to sign someone. Not to mention Team Taeja is back it appears. I would expect to see TL to add a player or two in the upcoming months, just because Sheth is done, Ret I haven't seen much from. Now that I think about it. Only Hero, TLO and Taeja seem to be the most active ones. As far as the acer thing. A new Terran player would be good and would help Scarlett's game out a lot I am sure to have access to that kind of practice. Innovation would be huge, didn't know he was on the market haha. Maru I could see because Prime just seems like it is dying and now that he has won a big championship he can demand a bigger contract. But its probably someone random like Marineking or or or or watch it be Flash lol | ||

I can see it being Maru though. Prime is in trouble, possibly going to disband and he can probably fly around with a foreign team collecting money considering his skill level and such. | ||

See the mistake in "simplHY UNstoppable" HyuN beat Welmu in the ASUS ROG Summer. HyuN beat StarDust at DreamHack Summer. HyuNstoppable is a hashtag on Twitter. HyuN's ZvT is amazing | ||

He beat him at Asus ROG Also, funny find, but we all know that we never know, cause Acer is masterful in announcing new players in a way nobody can guess who are them. | ||

After all, last time they were signing a Zerg, and it ended up being MMA (and Cella). As far as the HyuN/StarDust/Welmu hint, I can't really think of anything. They all did well at Assembly, and they are all European champions. Polt is also an Assembly winner/ European champion. But this train of thought feels like a stretch. Between the three candidates (assuming it really is a Terran and Scarlett didn't mislead us on that one), there is no twitter lockdown on acerpolt, acer_polt, acerinnovation, acer_innovation, acermaru, and acer_maru. Acer keeps their players and site members tagged as http://www.aceresport.com/uk/profile/####.htm with the number being something between 1 and ~11450 currently. MMA was high 9000s. The most recent Acer player is Trackmania Royal at 11320. So, uh, if anyone has the time and is really bored, I suppose they could go through all numbers between 11320 and 11450 and see if this new player has a profile yet, since they planned on unveiling it tonight. Anyways, despite not technically being on a "team", I'm going with Polt. To me, it makes more sense than Innovation. Edit: Oh, well that "STX might be disbanding" rumor kind of pushes it back towards the more obvious Innovation. I'm 99% sure that Acer simply turned Nerchio into the silhouette... I think the first tweet of HyuN/StarDust/Welmu is our best clue (everything else just feels like massive trolling and misdirection). | ||

Liquid has always been known to not recruit the absolute best players in the world, but players with good personalitys or who seems to have great potential like HerO and TaeJa, they really started to shine after joining Liquid I think it will be Welmu but if it is Innovation, well sucks for STX! | ||

And when they ask me for 500€ to fix my laptop screen thats discusting. Shame on you Acer You are aware that the company behind STX is on the brink of bancrupcy? Anyways, with the latest Tweets it's pretty clea in my opinion that it is HyuN, so my bet is on him. | ||
