Seems like a pretty bad move unless he has a team lined-up and isn't spilling the beans. TSL was starting to give their players salaries (the only Korean team to do so) and they gave him housing. By leaving TSL he has to move back home (??) and out of a team-house environment, which will definitely hurt his play and ability to compete. I wonder where he'll end up. I don't see many (if any) foreigner teams being interested in him.

FXO for sure.

Good call by him. I love player trading. Speculation on Rain, Naniwa and Slush, can't wait.

I hope that Liquid gets some new players also.
I am not good with quotes

It's a smart move, considering he's better than most if not all the foreign players out there. Problem is, is his English good enough to live abroad, as flying from Korea to every foreign lan is expensive, not to mention the awkward times he'd have to stay up to play online events.

I don't understand all the unnecessary hate in this thread for a player who's looking to get better. Even after he cheesed a few games he came out and publicly apologized for being unprepared, but you know what? He won matches. Many of us would dream to be able to say we made semi-finals regardless how it was accomplished.

I hope Rain does well. He's a competent player. He could probably bring a lot more to a foreign house than they could bring him. Competitive Starcraft is tough, and I wish him the best. I hope he does well and bring a lot more of the foreign scene to the Korean community. We need more of this type of stuff happening.

GL Rain. Hope you do well. Don't listen to the haters and try your best!

Rain would definitely be an ace on any foreigner team

I don't think he's a bad player, but I disagree.

That is not to suggest he would be the best player on any foreigner team, but there aren't many good foreigner terrans and he is still a top 100 GM terran KR

Rain would be one of the last players from Korea I would ever take on my team, if I were in charge of one. His results are lackluster and his play style basically revolves around cheesing and all-in'ing every single round.

No, he's not as good as Idra, naniwa, HuK, Sen, and Thorzain/Morrow. He's good, not great.

Is this the first time a pro gamer from Korea actually left their team to join a foreign one? I really hope Rain does well, he seems like a good guy. He has a twitter too if you want to give him support.

He may be an ace on FXO, coL, possibly sixJax, MYM, etc...

Could really understand this!! I mean why not. If he wants to see more of the world while playing sc. Sounds like fun. He probably heard stories about dreamhack and mlg and wants his share of it.

About his skill, it might seem bad sometimes, but its usually against the best of the best, so might look weaker. His latest games were quite solid. However I will never forgive him for letting inca win after which inca wins of Nada and robs us of a good final.

Rain gets so much undeserved hate. He had a few bad games and suddenly he's 'horrible' and a 'bad player'. When Mvp (my fav player) has a few bad games it's 'oh np, just a slump'. While Rain is not at the Mvp/Nestea level, he's definitely a good player. All you have to do is look at his results to see that. He's Code S and has been forever.

This might be true, but unlike MVP (or most of the other code A/S players) I can't come up with a single game where I have seen him play great or show flashes of his true potential. I never get the "Oh this is so smart" or even "Ah, this is actually pretty cleaver" feeling when I watch him. I'm not saying he is a bad player (obviously not the case with his results), I am just saying he is an extremely uninspiring player to watch, and I imagine he must be very easy to read for a truly great opponent.
After his very disappointing series against Yeah (some random zerg player in code A a few seasons ago) that he somehow won, I have started to avoid his games all together - and to be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing him disappear from the scene at all.

Only one of those is a terran and a team can have several ace players. I agree though that they are all better.

I was wondering when something like this would happen. Given how much easier it is to succeed in the foreigner scene, I figured that at some point, we'd start seeing Korean players commit to it more seriously, by joining foreigner teams or even moving to USA or Europe.

I'm guessing it's going to be FXO or sixjax that picks him up. I'm excited

Rain is good for foreign teams because he can be like a korean TorcH, and organise events/break language barrier, etc.
