Russian team http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Vega_Squadron is happy to announce the signing of one of the best Finland players http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Elfi . elfi is great protoss player, great community guy and highly ranked Grandmaster player which will give some fresh blood to our roster. With his high motivations and practice schedule, we don't doubt his results will come soon under Vega Squadron banners. His first big tournament under Vega tag will be Copenhagen Games Spring 2014 in April and hopefully Dreamhack Bucharest and Dreamhack Summer. He will start to stream more too, so feel free to tune on his stream anytime.
Lets see what our new guy has to say about his new position:
"I've been teamless for month now and now I've been given new chance! I will be joining team Vega after them offering me this chance! I believe I can once again reach good results with the help of my new team and ur going to see us rocking soon! Thanks for Vega and all my fans who's been supporting me as well my new team sponsors Vega LLC, bweb group and esportclothing!" - Samuli"elfi" sihvonen
Vanja "HighArT" Šimunec - General Manager:
"We are extremely happy that we realized such big signing as its elfi's. We have been following him since his departure from ENCE, and finally we are proud that he joined our team. We hope he will show us some results in upcoming online and offline tournaments, and show up he is still player to be afraid of. Welcome Samuli to Vega"

Not sure what to think lol.
|
Hm, a team that has some notoriously bm players in its roster. I`m glad that they provide Elfi some support but they should rethink the composition of the team.
|
So is elfi gonna become as bm as other vega's member ?
|
Finnish protoss best protoss
|
I'm so sad now, why Elfi (((?

I think the general problem is that aside from Teams like TL or Mouz, there is only a small market for fulltime-pros atm. So you have to take what you can get.
|
Im happy that elfi has new team but Vega? I have to say that im suprised!
elfi is streaming pretty much already, idk how much more he can stream :/

As mean as it sounds: beggars can't be choosers.

Sure you can say that, knowing nothing about the contract details. Vega tends to offer pretty decent salaries to their players, rather than focusing on events and marketing, which is quite the motivating factor.
|
:/ Would have liked to see him on Empire for example.
|
Well Empire has been very quiet in SC2 lately. Kas and Happy are active as always but kinda slumping but that aside the team doesn`t show a lot of effort anymore to compete with the likes of Acer, TL or Mouz.
|
|
Scarlett must be so pleased!
|
Wow. Did not see that coming. Really surprising, but if they treat elfi (#god) well, there is no problem. (Good that they announced this today, so we were able to win that cw tehehehehee *giggles* )

Verdi don't play competitively at the moment... He is just playing ladder with terran and streaming games.

from sett.fiPäädyin Vegaan pitkälti parhaimman tarjouksen ja heidän osoittaman mielenkiinnon takia. Monen muun tiimin kanssa oli uskomattoman vaikea edes keskustella ettei keskustelu vaan yhtäkkiä loppunut ignoraukseen pariksi päiväksi. Vega osoitti viimeiset viikot kiinnostusta ja he halusivat minut, joten päätös oli helppo. Tiimin pelaajista odotan hyvää treeniä etenkin FireCaken kanssa, PvZ: kanssa on aina ollut hiukan ongelmia, ehkä se paranee. Seuraava eventtini on näillä näkymin Copenhagen Games!
"I ended up with Vega because they had by far the best offer and their demonstrated interest. With several other teams it was unbelievably difficult to even talk without the discussion just cutting off for a few days.
Vega, over the last few weeks, demonstrated interest and they wanted me, so the decision was easy. I'm anticipating good practice from the team especially with FireCake. PvZ has always had some struggles so maybe it will improve. My next event will evidently be Copenhagen Games."

title is quite misleading when its vega who joined elfi
|
