Warcraft 3: NWRS drops all Korean players

By: Jaclyn Lo - Published October 09, 2007 at 11:42 PM EDT - Writer Archive
New Russia decides to release all its Korean players and cleans up its roster.
Last week, NWRS announced that Russian player Oleg "Titan" Kuptsov left mousesports to join their team.

This came as a big surprise to many, as mousesports is an established clan that competes in most professional leagues, as well as having a solid organization behind the clan.

NWRS on the other hand, is a rather new organization and is still undergoing a lot of changes.

It appears to show that NWRS is planning to build a more professional organization, trying to gain sponsors and pursue a stronger European-based clan.

In a nationalistic move, NWRS decided to kick all its South Korean players, namely Mamoru, MyOnlyStar and Showtime. Showtime joined NWRS less than a month ago after returning from retirement.

NWRS also kicked their lone American player, Nick "HolyHuman" Pesu from their roster.

The only non-Russian player left in the NWRS roster is Vladislav "Frozen" Baranov from Belarus.

Russia is known to have a strong esport scene, and NWRS' restructuring seems to be aiming for a solid Russian team.

Seems like they are going for a larger wang team. They end up on tv sometimes so they want the players to have a bulge to get the ladies into the games.

"It appears to show that NWRS is pursuing a more professional organization, trying to gain sponsors and pursue a stronger clan."

Don't use "pursue" twice in the same sentence, it makes you look desperate.

NWRS is a really nice team :)
I hope that they'll do well... guess they'll contract some new players soon as thier current roster is quite small. Should be no problem to find some candidates because there are many good players in eastern Europe.
