Its about time. The foreigners say the easy money for B level players is outside korea, so the good but not great koreans will end up dominating the foreigner scene

Why do people assume that every time someone leaves a team they're going to join liquid?

I will give my two cents on this.

Why he chose to leave TSL we don't know, but for the hate:

Cmon guys, he is obvously not a bad player. Lets ignore the games he cheesed. Against MVP he showed some promise against, arguably the best terran in the world. He will be a good addition to most foreign teams, it is just not fair to call him a bad player. For the guys saying he is better than ANY foreigner, come on. IdrA for example is clearly a better player. I don't understand the move as of now, but that is his own wishes. If he where to join FXO it would be a very good addition for them.

All the best to him in his future, I am very excited to see how this turns out.

interesting, this could start a new trend in pro starcraft, where Koreans will play in the GSL and in foreign tournaments when they do not. Of course, without a house to practice he could eventually see himself knocked out of Code S, so he should join up with a team like FXO that has some plans to establish a Korean presence.

Idra is a better player in the sense that a non-tilting Idra is an amazing player. Unfortunately, taking Idra's overall performance, he just fucking disappoints and breaks my heart every single time so no, Idra is not better than a GSL finalist.

Let me repeat that, GSL finalist. You can argue that he doesn't "deserve" it but Rain has a stronger list of accomplishments than any foreigner whether you choose to respect him or not.

Anyway my point is that Rain could easily compete in top foreigner competitions.

people always think "B team level players go to foreign scene to dominate"? MMA is in the finals for Super Tournament after winning MLG Columbus.

He may already have spoken to a team, why would he leave without doing so?

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.

His game in GSL finals vs MC on lost temple was pretty good.
That's true he doesn't have a lot of reference game, perhaps this only one.

Pretty interesting move by him to join the foreign scene. He is actually a really good player. Code S. Went to a GSL finals. Got knocked down to Code A and now is back to Code S. (Like MVP......)
Hope to see some of him soon.
