People making fun of Rain and saying a top foreign team wouldn't want to pick him are being silly. He's not a BAD player - he tends to do cheesy stuff more often than not but we saw from his TvT against MVP that he can actually play a strong macro game. I'd call him a lower-tier Code S player, and that's not bad at all in the larger scheme of things.

People making themselves look extremely stupid.

If he was as bad as you are making him look, how the fuck would he have gotten back to Code S?

Yeah, sure he tends to cheese and he has a reputation for that, so if you lose to he's cheese it's completely you're own fault not counting the fact in that he tends to cheese.

And yes I think any team with common sense would pick him up, he is good, by far better than you're average terran.

Rain is not a bad player. Last season he showed pretty good games and pretty solid. He's not as impressive as other players maybe, but still damn good. I'm sure he would be a good addition to a foreign team as a good player in their roster.

I'm not sure how it would go as far as training goes though. That's why I'm thinking the only two he could realisticly join would be fnatic and fxo because both have players on the korean/asian servers.

Pretty much any foreign team would lick its chops to get their hands on a player like Rain.

Especially FXO teaming up with Rain could give them a nice edge in their GSTL preparations.

Btw, Rain was the first player to go down to code A and then make it back up to Code S.

15 foreigners?

I know I shouldn't feed these guys, but I can't pass up this opportunity for a good laugh, so I'll bite.

Go ahead, wanna see your list.

I wonder what are his motivations and if he really thought about this.
If he doesn't speak english it's already a dead idea for instance, but I saw some english post and answers on his twitter so perhaps he does. Just seems strange he would quit TSL before having any real contact (perhaps he has, who knows)

Grubby Rain.
Definitely a possibility.
But for real teams, maybe mouz, sixjax, or a newer team like rage will try to pick him up. I think he would be a solid asset to any foreigner team to be completely honest.

Best of luck to rain, he might not be the best player but he's better than he's getting credit for. Whoever picks him up will be better for it.

Rain is really good. A lot of people are judging him based on his earlier performances, but anyone who has seen him recently (his TvT's vs MvP were realllyyyy solid) wouldn't be jumping on the 'lolololrainisbad' bandwagon. His ZvT sucks, sure, but he'd probably be a good addition to any team in the West.

Calling it now, if he plays in the West he will crush faces and all the naysayers on TL will have to shut up.

can we stop shitting around about rain vs foreigners when there's not way to actually compare it realistically?

I don't get why rain gets shit on but HuK is hailed as a god for his Code S endeavors when HuK has shown no amount of impressiveness in his GSL run's whatsoever and had a easy stay

Actually if you read the LR threads when Huk is playing you'll see him getting a lot of crap for getting an easy way into Code S etc. etc.

Rain's play has been very unimpressive imo. He has gotten far solely on all-ins and good cheese. I don't think many teams would even "want" him.
