Deep Blue made headlines over two decades ago for defeating Gary Kasprov chess grandmaster in a game of chess. Now it’s found new life on Team Liquid.
A spokeswoman said, “We are excited with this opportunity to attract a wider variety of players talent to join our team. Deep Blue will be a great asset and add a new dimension to our team’s ability.” The spokeswoman added that Deep Blue had been under going rigorous upgrades and had assured Team Liquid that it would be up to full competitive levels.
The spokeswoman added that Deep Blue would initially be part of Team Liquid’s Hearthstone line up, but were open to future options. “If Deep Blue manages to take on hearthstone, maybe we’ll try Star Craft or DOTA. The possibilities are endless.”
While Team Liquid’s players all declined to comment, other pro-players were less than pleased. “F***ing bots get jobs now?” was StanCifka of Misfits reaction to the news.
“Really, why how’s it even a PvP game without players?” was Pavel’s remark.
However, a spokesman of Misfits stated only, “We are monitoring Team Liquid’s acquisition of a player with only an upfront cost and no salary requirements and will judge the direction based upon the situation as it develops.”
