Team Liquid have announced their latest recruit; former MBCGame Hero and Team 8 player Yum "Sea" Bo Sung. Sea was one of the few KESPA pro gamers during Starcraft Brood War to take an active interest in his international fans and Team Liquid manager Victor "Nazgul" Goosens had the following to say about the aquisition.

As a seven year veteran of the scene, he decided he needed something completely new, a drastic change of scenery that would allow him to enjoy the game again. Sea believed the lack of joy in his game was part of the reason he couldn’t play at his best in recent years, and by leaving the old and embracing something new, he felt he could find the motivation that had made him great before.
The accompanying interview features Sea's thoughts:

Of course, KeSPA is a safer option, but I wanted to challenge myself, and become a better player and person by joining a foreign team.
Just the other day I was pondering team changes and the like, and I noticed that Liquid hadn't picked up anyone since the picked up Taeja in March. Admittedly I've never heard of Sea before but Nazgul's writeup tell a tale of not just a great player, but a great personality as well.
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Saw his stream yesterday - was so good i turned off PSY concert stream. His apm and mechanics are just so good, he has tons of potential and we will no doubt see yet another rising star grow in Liquid`
I got excited with thoughts of sc2sea and liquid having something happening. But this is still amazing news, I can't wait to see some games and that ever desired replay pack.
