I dont know why rain would pull out of code S. Rain is an interesting guy... just needs a bit more depth to his play. I hope he can do well in the future. I've always supported him just because i wanted nestea to lose in the third season. Glad he was able to.

I really wish the best for this guy.

When he cheesed Nestea out he got so much crap from most of sc2 fans.

I know it makes the game not fun and on..but yeah all in all I feel bad for this guy.

I hope he does well.

I doubt this is the case, since he was in Code S, but is it possible that TSL was going to cut him?

I don't know why they would do that since he technically had really good results, but him leaving the team and GSL just doesn't make sense otherwise : /

While I always wanted to see Rain lose in the GSL, I wasn't angry at him for using cheesy play. I was angry at his opponents for not anticipating and stopping it. He should be successful in finding a foreign team as long as he can overcome any communication difficulties, since his level of play is high enough to deserve it.

Even though I was never a fan TSLRain and I didn't think he was that good, I don't wish ill of him and I hope everything works out.

I'm pretty sure he has a team lined up. I just don't see him leaving code S and TSL without already having a team set and stoned.

SixjaxRain maybe?

As others have mentioned, FXO doesn't make sense because Rain quit TSL to delve more into the foreign scene while FXO is going into the Korean one. Liquid doesn't make sense either as much as we love puns - given their already existing relationship with oGs, it would be weird to bring an outside Korean into their team. Plus Liquid has always been about rallying the foreign community, I can't see them picking up korean players.

Not sure if Artosis would be wanting to recruit Rain :D
He would surely dominate the foreign scene though. Saw him play 3 or 4 practice games vs KawaiiRice the other day and absolutely roflstomped him, not remotely close at all, and Kawaii had a good TvT run at MLG. Maybe FnaticRain?

He's famous as a cheeser, but come on the dude is in Code S, so he's definitely got the skills to back up his ranking. I'm really hoping that he joins a foreign team, and starts showcasing Code S level terran play :D

I find it strange. Some people don't seem to realize that there is a categorical skill difference between Koreans and foreigners in SC2. The rift will only get larger and it will become like BW. Even some GSL casters engage in this motivated self-deception...
