Was checksix the upstart organization referenced during the EG drama?

Edit: The one trying to snipe players like mad?

While we are planning to release and official statement, I can assure you we are not trying to snipe players and we have no intentions of picking up the players mentioned in that article.

yeah, that's one stacked team...
no wonder they are doing fine in GSTL and almost sniped SlayerS on the last one

Surprising to see the team being Check-Six since they haven't done a whole lot since SC2. Good luck to them.

Eventually every foreigner tourney will be clogged with Koreans on foreign teams, and it's going to be awesome.

I dunno where you're getting at that since no Korean team has closed their door yets. You're jumping to conclusions.

Oh god, i should probably clarify this if the article's going to say things like

Stormy weather in Korea as well as in MvP, just one week after the deal signed with compLexity, its manager and one of its players chose to join US Team Check-Six.

....

The surprise is the departure from the manager, Ahn Min Woo

.....

Right now this info hasn't been confirmed by CHeck Six, this surprise departure may also result from a misunderstanding inside MvP's staff about the deal signed with coL last week.

First of all, back in 6/19, on the same night of the GSL July qualifiers, a number of MvP players left the team. Officially, the reason for their departure was overcrowding. Unofficially I won't get into specifics, but that doesnt mean they were all forced out (some left by their own free will). Since then the ex-MvP players have been looking for teams, and some have joined successfully. (example: HwangSin joining team itsgosu, Galaxy joining GosuGamers), while others are still looking for teams.

The manager Ahn Min Woo (to be honest I don't know when exactly he left) was already out before the complexity deal occurred and he already wanted to go to a foreign team before then. So no, the article shouldn't be exaggerating about some drama

I guess we need more information, but having the manager leave looks weird. I hope it's not going to spur some foreigner/korean drama again :s.

I hope more of the top players leave GSL, im losing patients with its awful systems of Bo1s which clearly isn't determining the better player. best of 3s are short enough. Take Total Biscuits invitational tournament which is Bo5s, you really determine the better player in that short tournament. Bo1s at proffesional level to me becomes a lottery due to them all being on a level to be able to take a game off one another.

The more top players to come out might see GSL reshape themselves better and think about the tournament structure rather than broadcast issues. Theres no doubt the best players in the world are inside korea at this moment in time, but there is also alot more people who looking forward to MLG/DreamHack/IEM/HomeStoryCup more than GSL. I used to value the GSL as the best until the Code S/A best of 1 format was entered and i just dont find it reasonable and comeptitive enough until the later stages.

I hope to see more big names step outside of korea soon, it will only help the growing number of fans and tournaments for everyone to enjoy

EDIT: I bet gretorp is considering that 2 dozen dollers a month contract now

Here we have another translator breaking a PlayXP story in the middle of the night before the foreign team has a chance to comment. I thought we learned our lesson here...
