I have a lot of respect for Artosis for sticking by MajOr, hopefully MajOr understands that Artosis is putting his reputation on the line in bringing him out to Korea like this and works hard both on his game, and his behaviour in general. He has so much potential, so if he adapts well to the TSL house and works hard he can definitely compete with the Koreans.

Also SangHo is a baller, look at that room.

Considering their head coach is named "Lee"... That's probably a good reason to believe that over Artosis.

Lee must be like the most common family name in Korea. That's like saying "Oh, they both have the surname Smith, they must know each other."

Major not joining the team, just practicing with them.

You think a player like Major, someone who has been playing his entire childhood JUST to be as good as the Koreans, is going to get bothered by cramped living conditions? LOL

His past behavior suggests.... hell yeah!

Great thing for Major I guess, I just hope that he'll improve his attitude and therefore his game as well, not that he is bad of anything. He really plays well, and I just expect him to become all the more better by practicing with the Korean team.

Congrats to him? I'm just hoping he doesn't pull the same kind of stuff he did in sixjax.. or give TSL any other kind of problems.

Wait, the title was changed. So he's not ON TSL? Why don't any of these foreigners actually JOIN the team instead of staying for some insignificant period of time? At least Fenix has taken the next step along with HuK and Jinro. Go Fenix!

Foreigners don't just get to pick a Korean team and force themselves onto the team.

Major isn't on TSL because the coach doesn't want him on TSL (yet).

That's such an ignorant question.

Regardless if he has joined TSL or just practicing there, this is exactly what Major needs. The reason hes so awkward is because he has spent everyday practicing 8-10 hours alone. Now he'll be getting that same practice, with better players, in an actual team setting. I think its exactly what he needs to mature as a player and as a person. Hopefully we see him actually sign with TSL, too!

Probably because he wasn't offered to join. He was likely offered to train with them, and if he proves a great player they want on their team they can ask him to join.

Anyway I don't see what the big deal is. How does practicing at the house differ from being an official member? He has access to the same training partners. He is not good enough to get a salary from tsl either way. If he is not good enough to be offered a spot he would not get to play in gstl either way. I have a hard time seeing how the situations differ. If major becomes good enough to talk about salary or being fielded in gstl I'm sure he'll be offered an official spot on the team.

Wow, Artosis does not want to give up on major, really really going so far for him.

Really hope he appreciates what Artosis is doing for him and stays in line this time.

Wonder how it will go for TSL, hopefully majOr doesn't make it a pain for them.

Artosis has noted that he sees a lot of his old self in majOr, and that's probably why he's willing to do so much. Especially since he is such a talented player, and he is only getting in his own way.

It's a good thing that MajOr has to prove himself to TSL first. Makes TSL look more professional IMO.

Well the reason I'm confused is because Artosis said he was 'on' TSL.

And if you read past the first page you'd see that it was a mistake to say that.

Yeah, don't think he will last long in Korea. Even I got claustrophobia by seeing that place, and Major, who probably has been sitting alone in his room his whole life will definitely be having some problems staying with a bunch of other people he doesn't know in a country far away from home. And also, even his only friend artosis is calling him retarded on live broadcasted television.

"MajOr, the #3 foreigner in the world by ELO ranking"

ELO ranking starts looking silly xD MajOr have no real achievements and he is #3? Great...
Other players win with koreans, get top places in big tournaments and they are not in TOP10...
