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.
