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..
Maybe they're not the same people? Maybe the people posting trollish comments in LR threads aren't the same kind of people who'd post cheery comments in a fnatic announcement thread?

Maybe "the general opinion as a whole" has changed - or maybe it hasn't because you can't infer "the general opinion" of 20k Team Liquid people from ~100 posts?

The other guy who inferred the whole "foreigner community" from one TL thread is even worse. :lol

I simply hate thoughtless blanket statements like that. :/

-> join foreigner team

-> instantly double your own fanbase

The lack of standards shown by the foreigner community on who to root for is honestly pretty disappointing.


This.

Cool.. But he's going to need to prove that he doesn't just 2 base to earn my respect.

Not a huge fan of fnatic and I really dislike Rain.
Yet I'm interested in seeing how this will turn out.

Very cool, will he be attending the MLG's now?

Dunno why they're recruiting this noob, they already have KawaiiRice. Only Terran needed.

Shoot, it beat Nestea: why would he?

KawaiiRice is not in the same league as Rain.

And to people who actually think Rain gives a damn about your respect and your biased bandwagon mentality...lol

It's nice to see more Koreans joining foreign teams, I have to say that I share the seeming consensus on Rain. Hes a very one dimensional all-inish player, a lot like thebestfou. It's still nice for the scene I guess.

Lol all the hate in this thread, I honestly can't till he comes and crushes faces in the West. His TvT and TvP are sick good, he just needs some TvZ practice - with Sen I think he'll really start improving.

Great job to fnatic, all the flamers and haters should go back to CoD.
