before jumping onto me, THIS IS ONLY A RUMOUR
According to this thread (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=60574), Testie was initially invited to join the CJ Entus proteam at Blizzcon, where he initially refused. After being offered another invitation, he immediately jumped onto the deal.
The quote from the blog for those lazy
Nick had received an invite to team CJ in korea after blizzcon and had kind of put that off. But after being REINVITED at WCG he accepted. Testie is 90% going to korea and signing a contract with team CJ. For me, this is a dream come true. I have always wanted to see a fully motivated/trained testie in action and I finally get to see it! Additionally, after meeting Testie I am in love with the guy. Really a nice guy, has dignity and is a classy/funny man. The good parts of him that come through online are truly who he is, minus the ego and blind logic he sometimes bolsters online. He will come here and say "ITS NOT FOR SURE!" or something but just know, this is the closest Testie has been to going and actually doing it, I think it will happen And when it does, all of us need to support and cheer him on. We as foreigners are running out of legit candidates for a non korean pro, lets make it the best we can with what we have!
Discuss!

Damn, i just saw the blog post and i was about 3 minutes away from posting it.
i think it's good a foriegner is moving to korea, testie's always been a good player any maybe with mass practise he'll move into the a list

If it's true i wish him good luck, show the koreans what foreigners are made of.

Gl to testie. Hopefully you won't burn out, 12 to 14 hours a day of mandatory starcraft playing is alot. Represent us foreigners.

He'll never make it far with his attitude. And I think he'll find out just how poor his mechanics are.

Lets face it. He'll make a dick of himself in front of his team, try to be rekrul, and go home empty handed (but probably having had a pretty unique experience).

Testie with a CJ face would be hilarious and I wish him the best of luck should it be true.

This 1 person deal sucks. Not knowing the language basically makes you totally isolated. They should, at the very least, take 2 at the same time. All the progamers that actually lasted had someone else, AFAIK -- elky/grrr (plus nazgul/etc at diff times), pj/lx, assem/leggionaire (plus some other guys who knew English on Hexatron/POS). I know for a fact it made it a lot easier on them (both game improvement wise and emotionally in general) to have someone to hang out/converse with.
Maybe I'm just a girl, but going alone to a place where no one speaks English would be the most boring, stressful, irritating thing ever.

maybe but who else with testie ? If I remember correctly its pretty clear mondi will never do it
|
one could try to learn korean, no? o_O
or maybe language learning is so far away from native english speakers's minds?

I'm definitely sure that Cho (CJ Manager) definitely knows English, as well as Mister Oh (CJ Coach)
