To be fair IPL has always been open to different maps. Remember those shitty ones they used a while back?

The best part about your terran imba maps is they allowed me to defy the odds and take down Hunts

Yeah that Byun vs HerO game...what a way to start the night. Usually after an hour and 1/2 almost half the U&D matches are over. Nope, not tonight lol. I'm glad Bomber advanced, I hope he does well this last season of WoL. As for the next group I'm guessing NesTea, Fantasy & Finale get through.
They didn't ask the one question everyone is thinking to Snute. "Why were you terrible before they made your race stupidly overpowered and why do you constantly abuse the most overpowered unit in the game? Are you afraid you'll go back to being a no namer if they nerf Infestor?"
Luckily his reponse could be "Liquid is already full of people from EU and NA who have no talent so it doesn't matter"

I feel like a long break wouldn't benefit NesTea since he's an old man who is married. So I'm going with Fantasy, Flying, Finale.
They have nerfed the infestor and it is really noticeable when playing zerg.
I started playing random recently. While I am still very inexperienced as terran, it was by far the easiest to learn. That is not too surprising as I had already learned the other two races. I still let the macro slip too much (dont make raxes at the right times etc), but it isnt too bad. What I have really noticed is how much the maps affect the matchups. I really think that a change in maps might be all terran needs.
Also, bio micro (kiting and splitting) is really easy. Fuck all the terrans who say that it is the hardest race to play. Banshee micro is hard, but that just means that I don't use banshees for the time being.

Please qualify your "fuck all the terrans who say that it is the hardest race to play" with the league you're in if you're going to challenge universally accepted facts

You have no clue, this guy made protoss hate him because he brings every timing BEFORE hive tech to the table. He spent 3 months perfecting baneling drops, broke Antiga thanks to gold bases and his multipronged attacks remind me of Jaedong from BW. He was also named as one of the players to watch in TL awards for 2011. He was able to defeat Life at IPL 5. So, yeah, your opinion is invalid because you have no idea what you are talking about.

I'm actually surprised TL picked up another zerg player. I still feel they lack Terran and Protoss. Let's see:
Terran:
Taeja
Protoss:
HerO
Nony
Zerg:
Sheth
Ret
TLO
Zenio
Snute
I understand why you'd want to pick up another zerg because they are the broken race right now, but why not try to expand your terran or protoss roster so in team leagues you don't have to rely on taeja or hero to be the only terran or toss. I mean, let's be honest, when was the last time we've seen Nony play? They should honestly look at picking up Polt, he's still teamless right? Foreigners love him, fans love him, his attitude is great and he's a fucking monster of a terran player.

If I had to take a guess I think Liquid was afraid of making themselves "too Korean" if they didn't pick up a foreigner. The best foreigner they have is Ret and he's far from anything special. So Snute brings more internationalization. Plus it almost has to be a Zerg because, honestly, there are slim pickings on foreigner Toss and zero foreigner Terran. Foreigner Zerg is the only race who has a real dream of winning international tournaments anymore these days.
And Polt is still teamless but my guess would be he's probably asking more than TL is willing to pay. They generally prefer to groom talent instead of get already household names outside of their original roster of ex-BW legends.

Did you actually read the announcement ? They said a few things about that, mostly that Snute is too good of a player and personality to pass up, which should shut up Tenks. They probably don't want to pick up someone who can't commit full time - Polt and most other foreigners don't really want to go to Korea for months. The only one who kind of fits is Sase, but I have no idea how much room for growth he has, otherwise you are looking at koreans, probably Parting, Supernova and StC. Sage seems like worse player than Grubby with none of the personality.
Why would what Nazgul has to say shut me up? I don't believe Nazgul gave the TL writers the blog post written on stone tablets atop a mountain.
-edit-
Lol another reason I'm more a TL hater than a fan. Snute, who streamed all the time but averaged under 500 viewers, gets signed by TL. Posts on reddit abound that the great and legendary Snute is streaming and he now has over 2k viewers. "eSport" fans are such morons and only believe what they're told.
