Liquid'Rain is probably the best ID that could come from this.

Lost interest in Rain ever since he cheesed his way to the finals and got crushed by MC.

Haters gonna hate. Rain would be a great addition to any foreign team.

I'd even say there are very few foreigners better than Rain atm.

even tho i didn't like his run to the finals, i think it's a good sign for starcraft 2.

i could see him join FXO, but there's still the language barrier to deal with. if koreans were better at english we might have seen that a lot earlier..

damn, why can't we all just talk deutsch^^

I asked Rain on Twitter and he confirmed it, so in case you didn't believe it before, there's your proof.

Fact of the matter is Rain would probably be the top player on most foreign teams haha

I can't see him leaving TSL and a salary if he wasn't confident that atleast 1 foreign team had expressed interest and that he could find a place to go, unless he intends to retire completely. I'm sure the deal will be made, probably just at a negotiation stage now if more than 1 team is interested.

That move doesnt benefit him as a player. I cant see Rain improving without a teamhouse. Even if he join FXO in GOM House, practice condition is not the same. At the same time, I dont see any organizer who would invite him over the like of mkpmvpbombermmathestc

Hmmmm....

Is that a hint

Judging by his Twitter his English is pretty ok, at least good enough for starcraft. Fxo would seem a good fit surely with both the money and the inclination.

Hmm.... Interesting move by Rain. I really do hope Liquid picks him up though. But then again their selection process is very... selective.

Anyone who can stay in code S is better then a lot of foreigners and he'll probably make more money winning foreign tournaments

There's more money for just-below-the-top players outside of Korea. I think this might be the start of a new trend.

Not really, he's shown he can stay in code S and as long as he does that he is gauranteed the same patout every GSL season (every month) that you would need to get 4th in MLG to equal.

Rain is a relatively consistent GSL code S terran, if he made the move to the west he would be the best terran in North America, and among the best in Europe. People who think he's skilless have no idea what they're talking about, just because you don't like his strategies doesn't mean his mechanics are not at the highest pro level.

Compare to Moon, a weaker SC2 player, who still goes undefeated vs foreigners in every foreign tournament he plays. This is big news.

Hm Rain...

Can't say anything about his GSL2 run as I wasn't around then, but his game against Inca was probably the worst (and most hilarious)GSL game I've ever seen.

But then in the Up/Downs after that he played really well so he is able to play well, he's just really inconsistent/nervous or smth like that I guess.

Liquid`Rain for the name,

But then i don't rate Rain at all as a player, though he would prob do well in foreign scene. Interesting to see where this goes
