Highlights of the week

1. Two new additions to TSL!
After leaving Prime and his ID Optimus, citing different opinions between the team and him, he has now joined TSL, linking forces with Artosis favourite Clide and also the much hyped JYP! Also, Major, the very player who caused quite a furore in SEA some time back, has also joined TSL! Hopefully, this will help to fill the void left by Fruitdealer and Trickster, and all the best to TSL and their two new players TSL.Polt and TSL.Major!

2. Naniwa finds a home!
After leaving Team Dignitas, Naniwa has now joined Complexity, and will train in the MVP house in Korea! What a huge move for a protoss who has shown quite a lot of potential in Korea so far, training with players like DRG and SC will help him so so much! Good luck to Naniwa and MVP! We certainly look forward to more great performances from him in Korea

3. A compliation of famous quotes of Greg 'IdrA' Fields!
EG.IdrA being a top NA zerg, certainly has his own fair share of fans and enemies. He has always been associated with BM, and often stating that Protoss is unbeatable! Well, some kind soul out there has put together a video that puts together some of the most memorable quotes from IdrA! It was taken from his stream of the games, and it is bound to captivate you and keep you laughing throughout! Check out the video @

Protoss players have been falling left and right in Korea(Yes let's all look at MC#, and people have been saying that Protoss is underpowered at the moment.. but fret not, in the next few days, Genius, HongUn and SangHo will take on their opponents in the GSL! Be sure to catch them in action, and see how they handle 1-1-1 or July's banelings#in the case of HongUn)! GL HF!
