He's really good and got lots of potential. Made me kind of sad to be honest. He really would've benefited from Korean training. Get him into NSHoSeo or something to learn from sage imo. Ah well.. Atleast he'll be attending foreigner tournaments, so that's sweet I guess. Still would've been awesome to see him max out his potential and play in the GSL.

Do you have a quote or something? | ||

Korean teams, with the exception of Slayers (full lol), IM (got Fenix) and FXO (said they weren't going to sign him) have NO money. I've said it a few times in the thread but it bears repeating. I once again must stress the point that Korean teams are effectively on a complete shoestring budgets and can't afford to room+board and pay players, especially high profile foreigners like SaSe. SaSe wants to get paid; you can't blame him for it at all. I'm pretty sure QxG will get a partnership coL style, the CEO mentioned looking into one during an interview with ESFI. | ||

Korean teams doesn't have financial support unless it's a big team like SlayerS. Ofcourse Sase want to stay in Korea but he won't make money just by participating GSL so he needs a team that can provide him travel expenses for foreign tournaments like MLG. | ||

I actually agree with this statement, QxG doesn't seem big enough to be able to hold onto Sase. | ||

hope he doesn't have to run into MKP in the open bracket because that would be insanely sad. I actually like this. Sase's on a small team where he's the main focus and i don't think team size matters much specially cause Sase's training in korea and is laddering so much. | ||

This guy is BEAST. not sure about this. the koreans who should easily finish at the top are: july, puma, hero, MKP, MC, bomber. there's 6 right there not counting a few others who could do well such as hongun, rain, and boxer. pluss col mvp might send someone over or another team might decide to send someone. its possible Sase makes it into top 6 but i wouldn't say it's almost guaranteed. btw im a huge sase fan. im not bashing him just saying korea is sending some great players. | ||

Quantic Gaming is a largely American-based, multi-game team, with a small presence in Australia and Korea - the Korean presence being reinforced by SaSe joining the team. We've been around for some time now, and our Black Ops team, Quantic LeveragE, is one of the best Call of Duty teams in the world with two MLG victories this year. In terms of StarCraft 2 specifically, we have also been around for quite some time and our players have attended almost every MLG event this year. As you may know, iNkA has recently been invited to play in NASL Season 2, where he has posted some pretty impressive results so far. Quantic also runs "Quantic Media", a gaming media production group with a strong YouTube presence. The manager for our SC2 team is Ben "fograw" Shaver (the Ben SaSe refers to in his statement). His assistant manager is Bryan "YutZ" Guzman. Both have been part of the SC2 scene ever since it began, with Fograw being active since Beta and YutZ travelling to Korea for the first GSL Open Season. I cannot comment on team or practice houses at this stage. SaSe will continue to reside in Korea, but will travel to as many foreign events as we can send him to. SaSe has explicitly stated - both publicly and to us - that he wants to remain in Korea to ensure that he gets the best possible practice. His intentions are admirable, and we see no reason to interfere with his personal goal to be the best. I obviously cannot delve into any contractual details on a public forum I know that you're might be concerned about our longevity, but our business model is one that aims to achieve total sustainability.This may sound cheesy, but at Quantic we believe that every player has a story. We plan on getting highly engaged with the community - in ways that have never been done so before - while at the same time, we strive to remain professional and driven in our approach. You might not know much about our current roster now, but that's something we'd love to change very soon. Hopefully that clarifies a lot for you Thanks for your reply. In what way will you improve Sases practice environment in Korea? As right now it is quite horrible. | ||
