Don't get all the hate. Yes, he's not amazing by Korean standards but he's still better than every foreign Terran except maybe Thorzain and Select.

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

except Moon got beaten by Slush and Naniwa at MLG

It's not an insult? He's better than them and has proven so by succeeding in the best tournament in the world.

He's a good player, despite cheesing a lot.

no reason for him to be so hated around here. yes his early play got him to finals where he fizzled out but he has definitely been improving as of late and people should always support players who work hard to get better.

To be honest then the only team i see him Joining is FXO, since they are currently going to Korea and sending people around the world at the same time.. and frankly FXO could use the backup in the upcoming GSTL

Most of this Rain holdover hate just stems from the time that 2 Raxing was considered cheesy rather than just a valid strategy. Rain is still one of the best players in the world. He would instantly jump to the top of the roster of any foreign team. Anyone who says otherwise is just being ridiculous.

Guys ignore the fanboys, if an unknown player ever beats a favorite but fails to dominate later they will be forever hated by a portion of the community, it really is stupid but the best thing you can do is ignore their bullshit.

Did he lose to Slush? I don't count Naniwa because like IdrA, he's a foreign aberration, easily capable of T4ing code S. But yeah, the point still remains.

One can dream right?


Dream? Try nightmare (even though Liquid`Rain would definitely be a catchy ID).

It's just weird to give up a spot on the Korean pro team for some sort of... foreign adventure? There's probably more to this story than they're letting out, but either way it's not the best move for his career, and certainly not the move an ambitious progamer would make.

Ah well, as long as it ain't Liquid...

His careless play when he thought he had the game won directly caused the worst GSL finals ever... I think he's a solid player, but that's due enough cause to hate Rain.

It wouldn't be liquid. or root, or eg. It's bound to be FXO or some European powerhouse (dignitas would be my first bet)

He also made it out of the qualifiers at the LG 3d special league and into the main r16 bracket where there are quite a few good players playing (think he plays his match tomorrow).

It's certainly an interesting development, he's not a top tier Korean Terran, but he's definitely not woeful. Certainly if he can sharpen up some of his decision making he can compete with many of the better players.

I wonder where he'll end up, it would seem very strange for a move like this to be taken without some options in place already.
