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! It is not his choice... Read the thread and watch the interview. He wants to stay forever. He does not speak for TSL though... just chillax  | ||

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. I think they'll ask him to join eventually, based on these facts:

I cannot blame him for wanting to stay to be honest. Despite Mexico being quite far from Korea, and the language barrier, MajOr would rather be at the esports mecca than the North American scene. Plus Korea is the place to be if you want to get really good at SC2. I am talking IMMvp good. | ||

Other players win with koreans, get top places in big tournaments and they are not in TOP10... I haven't taken the ELO system any serious either, I guess it's just who's hot in winnings right now or something. Because I can name many people that are better than MajOr, but I think his on a hotstreak now or something. Good for him also that this is kind of a trial instead of joining the team right away. | ||

TSL losing Fruitdealer and Tester was probably the best thing that has ever happened to them, minus the drama. If they really, really need a larger roster, they could always recruit their own local talent (truck tons of them lying around), and they come without a language barrier. No disrespect to MajOr, but until he actually achieves something in at least Code A, TSL doesn't really have an incentive to recruit him. Practice partner, sure. Member? Too tough to call.They don't have much cash lying around anyway. | ||

What the NA scene needs are not funny SC2 personalities like Husky, HD and Destiny, nor super nice guys like Sheth who left Korea in a few weeks. But dedicated and skilled players like HuK and Major. IdrA received the same shit from the community when he first went to Korea for Broodwar, look at his fanbase now. | ||

This would be a smart choice on both sides, if anything happens and i am sorry but it's proven before the chance is very likely then it's easy to part ways without contract drama's. I hope for you Artosis that he becomes what you believe he will be, but your not a sage and if he keeps ruining things it's going to get to your reputation eventualy. | ||

truth is: - TSL lost 2 code B, 1 shaky code A players and one just-another-terran. No big deal - major is foreigner after all. korean talents > him - TSL already adds Symbol, Ultimate, KDH and Ragnarok. They pwnzed GSTL without much trouble the only good reason is that TSL wants some foreign exposure, just like IM | ||

It has nothing to do with a hotstreak, look at the tournaments, look at who hes beaten. The number of top players is far lower than many of the others with high ELO. Compare his last 50 games on ELO to Sen's. It's like comparing a preschool curriculum to a university curriculum. | ||

That's why TLO is so popular; he may not have shown the best results lately, but he's simply an awesome guy. I wouldn't neccessarily agree with flipstar in actually wishing Major bad, but I share the sentiment about his character. Major is - excuse my french - an immature brat. Simple as that. His whole career is that of a person spoiled beyond salvation by his (undeniable) skill. He has internalized the belief that he is superior to other people in his line of "work" and treats them just like that: with contempt and arrogance.
I realize some - many - people don't agree with this opinion. I accept that; I'm not happy about it, but everyone is entitled to speak his/her mind. But I'm glad I'm not the only one to speak up in this rather large crowd of people cheering for a guy that I'd have ignored or pummeled in the school yard for his behaviour instead of applauding him. | ||
