this move is not UNPRECEDENTED! IdrA did the exact same thing prior to GSL March but decided to participate in the group selection anyway. Good luck to Rain and I hope he is able to continue his success outside Korea. I hope someday Fnatic will have their own pro gaming house in Korea.

Rain is actually a good Terran player, I wonder if he will be moving into the MSI team house if they have one ><, sounds like they can do really well from getting a Korean who knows a lot of the in and outs of Really long dedicated practice hours.

Funny, Rain's statement sounds like a generic bullcrap press statement you could hear any progamer joining a new team say.

Idra told GOM before the selection, but they wanted him to stay and do it. They wanted him to troll the selection day. That's why we got the "Idra's dead" montage during Code S that season.

I'm really interested to what the Korean say to that issue (http://www.playxp.com/news/read.php?news_id=2922960), can someone give a brief translation?

Comments (based on random google translate) seem to be:

50% people saying "wow this is cool, GL" and 50% people saying "Rain is cheeser"

Does anyone else feel like koreans joining foreigner teams is going to make the koreans worse?

Without the korean training effect, they'll just be foreigners, like SeleCT. Not that SeleCT isn't awesome, he's just not on the level of koreans anymore.

I think the more koreans leave korea, the more people might see that practice and devotion are a lot more important than nationality, look at HuK.

It's always cool to see multinational teams, but I don't think the results are going to be what people expect lol

(just to add, NA and EU metagames are probably a month behind KR, not to mention the KR ladder being much more competitive, paired with lower quality training partners, it just seems like the publicity of these koreans joining foreigner teams might not match up with the results)


I'm just throwing this out there, as far as the metagames go, I don't know if you remember when (T)NaDa played (T)Strelok in the NASL. Strelok did a pure mech TvT style and NaDa had no clue how to deal with it. He got absolutely destroyed by Strelok's TvT, which made me think that he had little experience dealing with that style of Terran. Pure mech is a lot more popular in the foreign scene and I wouldn't be surprised to see it used more and more in Korea as it can be effective.

That being said I agree that it's not the fact that a person is Korean that makes them good, it's the practice schedule. Outside of Korea, there aren't that many players who practice and prepare nearly as much as they do in Korea ((T)ThorZaIN is one example of a foreigner who does practice as much I think) and it clearly shows.
