I've been wondering when the first Korean would do what Rain is doing now. Smart move by him IMO with the competition in Korea being so fierce. You really do have to be near the top to win any good money in Korea (MC, NesTea, etc.). If he can find a good team in the foreign scene then he can probably make a pretty decent living and win some tournaments here and there.

Very interesting! While it would be cool for a foreign team to pick him up, I doubt they will. Plus he's been referred to as "a chessy fucking noobie," (slight paraphrase

) Plus the language barrier would obviously be difficult.

I hope he gets picked up by a foreign team and starts winning tons of tournaments, just for the lulz that would be had

I still think Rain is incompetent... The game between him and Inca made me believe that after he blew his victory away. He took a game off of MC but that was due to unscouted cloak banshees which secured the victory (after which MC got pissed and decided to basically crush him in early attacks)

QTIP.

Correction. Rain cancelled his 2nd barracks after MC's scouting probe left, instead throwing down a factory. It wasn't unscouted, it was trickery.

Interesting. Wonder how successful he will be in doing this.

FXO.Rain. This is the best foreign team for Rain.
EG already pulled out of Korea, Liquid is barely hanging there.
FXO tries to enter korea, its sends its players to the events around the world... Perfect team for Rain.

Rain said he wanted toparticipate more in the foreigner scene.
EG needs more good terrans aside form Demuslim because i heard LzGameR is switching races
EGRain?

i dont see any BIG foreigner team take him...mb a team like sixjax, millenium,complexity (if they can afford it)....because teams like EG, mouz, dignitas have already better players than him....ofc rain is a more or less solid terran, but i can list 15 foreigners, who are better than him, here. and i dont see a european team taking him, because europe already has a sick shitload of baller terrans. so i doubt that any european team will make this huge investment (working on the language barrier etc.) i dont know any european team who hasnt already some sick terrans.mb millenium :D

but i would love to see him join eg, while idra is raging about it ("this skilless noob without selfrespect?! cmon ur kiddin, his mechanics suck! what shall i train with him? im already good at defending 2 rax scv allin!" j/k )

People in this thread are drastically underestimating Rain. If he was a foreigner he'd easily be a top terran. He's certainly better than players such as TLO, EmpireKas, and Naama.
