That'd be great. Maybe, just maybe..... He might have just been seeing how far he could ride his initial wave of success, and how long he could get money for doing nothing. Now maybe he'll win another OGN and then take it easy for a few years | ||

I mean, seriously, cmon...He still manages to be complimented by Elky and other GREAT foreign players, saying it doesn't matter how much he plays, hes always good. Most of the great korean players also play with him on a regular basis, think before you type kid. | ||

Do me a favor and go ask ANY pro gamer what he thinks about ANY other pro gamer you pick. They will all say nothing but compliments about that person regardless if he sucks compared to others. | ||

His name doesn't carry as much weight as it once did, i beleive they did an event a while ago where 10 ppl were selected and they could pick any pro in the team to play with. Giyom got 0. Well lots more information other then what is already here but i can't really talk about it I highly doubt he will be rejoining the team anytime soon, maybe he will get another team, maybe he will do something else, the world is now his oyster but he just gave up the pearl to gain his freedom!~~ | ||

honestly u proly wouldnt give up a chojja for a grrr would u? maybe grrrr more famous.. but howlong is that going to last. they cut his extra income which is b.s. hopefully he can find a team that wont jerk him around. does any one thjing grrrr could be vry useful to a team still, that he could improve, train ppl, etc. be valuable? how do they decide who is important to have on a team anyways, they arent all chojjas right | ||

And probably the one who started when Bw spread wont get the fame u can earn with it now adays.. Anyway the three gamers who are the most well known and the best and had have the most domination at there times are for me : Grrrr... ( 98-00/01 ) Boxer ( 00-02/3) Nada (02/03 - XX ) lets hope the best for GYIOM patry | ||

giyom will find a team fo sure, but I'm pretty sure he will never come to a level he has been years ago also you overrate his past achievements! he has been the best OUTSIDE korea for years when noone here knew how strong the koreans really were when he went to korea he was very good no doubt, but he was never the best | ||

Hell when he was dominating Bnet ladder (Back when it meant something) he actually had to change nicks because people refused to play him, thats when he was The~Insane~Frog. I've met Grrrr before and wish him the best of luck. Anyone who says he doesn't deserve to be there anymore its ignorant. It's like saying a piece of world history no longer belongs in the museum. Grrrr made vast advanced in this game, was monumental player and helped changed the way things are looked at it. Definately a legend of the game. Congrats to him, even if he doesn't find a team. It's like Bill Russel returning and asking for Shaq's salary. That's a bit extreme, but you probably get the point. | ||

As for Grrr, He isn't that big a Celeb, he isn't popular that much cuz he doesn't win, 35USD isn't too bad to live off of if you get paid housing. Housing or land costs are what kill you in Korea but otherwise is fine. I think he shoulda took it. Maybe he will go back to Canada and... do whatever before this. | ||
