Maybe he watched MLG Columbus and would like to in the middle of that. As a Korean SC2 player, you don't really feel like a star playing for the audience unless it's the GSL final. | ||

It was months ago, get over it. yay rampant fanboyism and bias. Boxer does do pretty much the same shit. Its funny, I was just thinking last night how comparable Boxer and Rain are in terms of play, but how differently they're viewed. I can't really blame anyone though, Boxer earned every ounce of respect he gets. The guy pretty much made ESPORTS. | ||

Meh, in my opinion, if you invented the build, you can do what the heck you want with it. Boxer invented most of the Terran cheese and even the freaking Terran wall in. | ||

Rain has no such thing, which is part of the reason that he gets so much criticism. And honestly, I've never seen BoxeR play a game that just left me confused and depressed. Rain vs. July made me feel that way. | ||

I agree with this, no reason leaving a team like TSL before you've been talking with another team about picking you up. Unless Rain is like "Psh the second I leave this team I'll get picked up by another one no problem.", but I bet he's more modest than that ^_^ | ||

Yes yes, I used the most overused line. but think about it! where else have you heard a KOREAN willingly say that he wants to participate in foreign tournaments and he even drops out of his team? This can be the icebreaker for western esports finally breaking the barrier with koreans. Lets imagine rain being flown to into Europe to be with dignitas/mouz and suddenly he gets all good and wins all the European tournaments. This will spark many other korean pros to get themselves out of the shell and maybe even venture out to NA/EU and train with the people there, not just attend tournaments. so its good exposure for everyone! so it really depends on how the foreign community and the team that picks him up presents themselves to the whole scene. if rain gets better and is accepted by the foreign community, it will be shown to the korean sc2 scene and I can bet you atleast 2-3 guys will do the same exact thing in the following months. | ||

ITR was a beast in beta, and one of my fav players, but now he is just bad =/ | ||
