I don't think the team hopping is really that big a deal as long as he isn't taking the teams resources for his own gains. If it is just changes in clan tags and he is never in a team long enough to be actually sponsored, that isn't really a big deal. Either way, kid is clearly still growing up. To say he will "never change" when he is like 17 years old is kind of short-sighted. | ||

You lack respect, and you just copy koreans, you'll be a great player no doubt... but if you can't think for yourself you have a cap we try to avoid in the team. Its a shame, good luck in the future Juan. I'm glad all of your effort of playing this game for 1 month is about to pay off, and im also relieved we won't have to deal with you to be honest, you're full of good intentions, and you're a nice guy, but you're def missing some screws. | ||

And when Terran joined Root, he knew that Root did not have a sponsor. If money was so important to him, then why join root in the first place? It seems like he was trying to use Root as practice partners just like he did with All4One. Well, people do change. Naniwa has been the biggest success story so far and seems like he is pretty well settled now. So, Terran might also. It is not an encouraging sign though if a guy expect to be paid for future efforts instead of being rewarded for his past and present effort. | ||

Put it along side his piss poor attitude and behavior and you have absolutely nothing worthwhile on your team. This is purely a one sided relationship. Hope you come to realize this sooner then later Artosis, people don't change unless they want too. Name one up and coming terran with sjTerran's skill? There aren't any outside of Korea. | ||

If he changes he changes like Naniwa and most other progamers (except maybe IdrA only his is a following much more so then a detriment) who were "immature" at some point. He seems very predictable to me, which doesn't speak well for his future as a progamer imo. | ||

Also if you were informed you would know his comments were lies ( who would have though), ROOT had the ability to pay him but didnt for good reasons. im sorry but what does him leaving sc1 clans that are non-contributors to his success have to do with his sc2 career? he was an online practice partner for hite sparkyz and fufilled that commitment without much issue and really was his only legit contributor to his sc1 career path. as far as using people, how so? did they pay him in order to train with him, did they provide him with amazing benefits, sponsorship something that he couldnt of obtained on his own if he so chose to do so? no, he simply trained with teams and moved on after he decided it was time to do so. any reason he had for switching clans or moving on are his reasons and his reasons only, not for anyone else to decide or interpret. as far as ROOT being able to pay i dont see how thats possible considering the current sponsors they have arent funding the team as of right now. so are catz/drewbie paying players out of pocket? i highly doubt it considering they're trying to collect rent from anyone who wants to move into the "team house". maybe down the line the sponsorship would of kicked in and they could of started actually paying players, but be realistic for a minute, if they can afford to fly players out to tournaments and are trying to collect rent from anyone who wants to enter the team house then where is this money coming from if none of their sponsors are funding the team currently? i think its safe to say both sides are hiding something here, but im inclined to believe that ROOT isint paying anyones salary as of right now, maybe when the sponsors kick in? sure, but as of right now no. point is, its his right to move on and do what he wants, if theres a team out there better suited to fit his needs then its his right to take the opportunity to pursue his goal as a paid professional gamer. | ||

Even PiQLiQ has been #1 on the ladder. hes no slouch who just randomly appeared on the starcraft scene. he was a practice partner for the hite sparkyz team in sc1 and was almost picked up to be a fulltime player for them if i recall correctly. he also has a great understanding of sc1 with insane macro/micro abilities from sc1 which transition amazingly well into sc2. he hasnt shown much aside from dominating the NA ladder but the pedigree and know-how is there and thats what teams are looking for and can build upon. | ||
