TeamLiquid signs their second Korean, and it is the former oGs player Choi "Zenio" Jung Min.
- "I decided on Liquid because I wanted to play abroad more frequently, and because they are a team that is partnered with oGs, and thus a team I've been friendly with for a long time," said Zenio on the team's web page.
The signing was speculated since long, as TeamLiquid released a teaser image which was detected to be of Zenio. Confirmed today, November 21, Zenio is the fourth Zerg player and the second Korean to join the "Blues".
Zenio is currently playing in GSL November's Code A, and is after defeating Muujuk, going up against MarineKing who dropped down from Code S. The Zerg player has a long history in Code S however, and was not demoted to Code A until as late as GSL October.
- "Upon hearing about this opportunity from TheWind, I was immediately intrigued. Ever since Liquid began its partnership with oGs and I went to Korea to meet the players and coaches, I have liked Zenio a lot. Together with MC, Zenio has been one of the friendliest and most outgoing oGs members towards me and the Liquid players," said TeamLiquid boss Nazgul. He added, "He has some of the best English among pro-gamers, which is something I think everyone will notice soon."
Zenio, known for his rivalry with IdrA after a victory ceremony performing a neck chopping motion with his hand, said in the introductory interview that he does not think of IdrA badly personally.
- "I don't think of him badly personally, and I think he's a fun player. It would be fun to play him again," said Zenio. He added, "He's welcome to come back to Korea, and though I wouldn't mind it myself, he probably doesn't want to play me; I am 6-0 against him."
Notable tournament achievements include a silver in the second edition of the FXOpen Invitational Series, a fourth place in Kaspersky New Year's StarCraft II Invitational and a top 8 placing in the Sony Ericsson Starcraft II Open Season 2.
