That's really a great news, that's the way to go if foreigners want to play at korean level.

GL Fnatic (amazing roster ftw !)

If ur gona have a non korean team vs a korean team where both teams r full of koreans, whats the point of that ? theres no excitement.


I don't even want to know what kind of a fucked up view on people and races you have to begin with if the only excitement you can get comes from teams divided by race and nationality.

You and a lot of others seems to be forgetting something when you talk in words like that -> Fnatic is a business. Do you think it would have mattered two shits if Rain was Chinese, Norwegian or Australian as long as he would bring whatever he brings (and that remains to be seen tbh..) to their table??
When you sign players of this caliber you often have one and/or two goals with it. Publicity and skill.

Why anyone ever would want to divide the scene into strictly korean teams vs foreigner teams is beyond me, it seems so extremely narrowminded.

I only disliked Rain because he'd apologized for cheesing people. Win or lose you don't apologize for how you do it.

That said, I'm willing to forget about all of that because Rain is the first well-known Korean player to make such a ballsy move.

Apparently you watch Starcraft only to see some racist playoff between people from South Korea and people from anywhere else, that's really really sad. How about you just forget about whereever the guy playing popped out of his mother and just enjoy the game and good play?

He's still a Code S level player and as the NASL Qualifiers showed anyone on a Korean pro team is competitive at the highest level in NA.

He only apologised because he got a tremendous amount of hate on the PlayXP forums...
