Becoming the best player of his race? Yeah, we wouldn't want that...
Genius....
MC's results this season also shouldn't be taken as evidence that he can perform without a practice house. He was still in oGs at the start of the season this isn't long enough to see how it will affect him.

Naniwa and Sase are on Quantic. Why does it seem like so many people think they are on Col?
coL.NaNiwa he used to be in coL i dont know about SaSe though

I'm curious about this as well. Are the current NA players "safe"?
Very excited to see how things pan out for coL and JLake with these pickups. If I were one of the lower-tier players on the roster, I'd be pretty worried though.

how come? nada, hasnt won anything in a while. heart, the guy who cheeses all gsl so far and killer, well should I start about him?
yah but the reality is they are now on a foreign team, which means they'll be at foreign events. Mediocre koreans will tear through the foreign scene for the most part, and all three of these players are not mediocre. Koreans want on foreign teams because they get paid more+easier tournaments. GSL is hard,even for koreans, they want more opportunities, and the fact is we don't know how much Killer has been practicing, we don't know what nada's goals are exactly, and heart is a really strong player capable of more than cheese.
No results in korea does not mean they are bad, or won't get stellar results in foreign tournaments. I think people underestimate how hard results in korea and gsl are.

That statement is so 2011. Mediocre Koreans will fail at foreign events nowadays because the foreign events are stacked with better Koreans.

so 2011? lolol funny response. But obviously if you look at 2011 the mediocre koreans did better than nearly all foreigners even in tournaments with S-class koreans. I wasn't talking about korean vs koreans, it's a trend that koreans mostly lose to other koreans in foreign events. Not all the time ofc, but most of the time.
But what I was saying was in response to what I responded to bro. People trying to base how good a korean will do in the foreign scene on results in korea. It can't be compared. Producing results in GSL, the only pro korean league, is a lot harder than producing results in any other tournament in the world, so you can't say that killer, heart, or nada won't tear the foreign scene up based on what they did in korea.
For clarification, mediocre korean is not an insult, i should have said mid-tier koreans.
