Hilarious, all the disgusting hate against Rain while he was playing in the GSL, and now he joins a foreign team you guys are all over him..

I recognize that you are saying its great for the foreign scene to have a korean pro gamer joining a foreign team, regardless of who (and i totally agree), but come on guys.. could you be any more bias?

Really..? During/after his GSL run 90% you guys were spewing trash like 'Rain is a "disgraceful cheese noob" that "doesnt know how to macro" and "needs to be out of code s/a" '...

Now he joins a foreign team and all of a sudden 90% of the comments about him are 'great pickup for sure', 'great player that will prove all the haters wrong', 'underrated player'..

It reminds me of the weak-minded people who watch WWE (not everyone who watches WWE), the ones that cheer for the wrestler that is written to be 'the good guy', rather than picking someone THEY like and cheering for him..

Its one thing to say its great for the scene.. But its a joke how the opinions of him as a player change so drastically just because he joins a foreign team..

Now i never hated on Rain as a player (nor liked him much really) but it will be interesting to see how this pans out for both fnatic and rain! Definitely great for the foreign scene (and potentially the korean scene too)!


I hope you cross-checked all the names in this thread against the posts made flaming. I somehow doubt you'll find that 90% of them were indeed who you're pointing fingers at.


Its not just the names individually.. The general opinion as a whole seems to have changed drastically with this news..

Every team has limited roaster size. This might imply that Sen will not renew his contract with Fnatic at end of his contract year, which is this year.

There are 10-20k on TL.net all the time. That's 10-20K opinions. To hold a poster's opinion or even 50 posted opinions as an opinion voiced by the entire SC2 community is quite frankly stupid.

Cool to see Rain go to Fnatic! Nice pickup imo (haters gonna hate).

Wonder what he'll be up to in USA though, if he's gonna follow an education etc.

Can not wait to see him in more online cups and upcoming MLG!

Nice, really nice. NA was lately not so solid when it comes to tournaments, Koreans and Euros taking all the wins. Now they'll have their own Korean to take the prizes. :D Good pickup, wonder how will he do.
oh, hai

Dangit Xeris, you guys were hard enough to play in all the team leagues as is.

All jokes aside, congrats to Rain and Fnatic. Rain now has one of the hardest working managers in all of eSports. That can help a player way more then most people imagine.

GL in the future to both parties :D

Congrats to fnatic and wish Rain all the best,altough I'm really more curious now to see where Tester and FD are going to end up.
I expected Rain to be moving outside of Korea when it was announced that he was leaving his team,I wonder if hes going to attend college in US as well.

Tester has always been good friends with Artosis and Nick,but i somehow don't see him joining SixJax since Artosis still lives in Korea,and i would asume that Tester and FD want to leave Korea as Rain did.
