According to Korean e-sport site ESChosun.com (Z)Zenio has left the oGs team.

I asked community member Clefairy for a summary of the article and it seems that oGs doesn't allow players to practice outside of the team house without a good reason, so Zenio is now looking for a team that doesn't require to stay in the house.

Nada is allowed to practice outside because of his studies, but Zenio doesn't have a good enough reason to practice outside the team house.



If someone can translate the full article or if there is some false info/more to add, feel free to share it and i'll edit them to the OP.

Source(In Korean) You need a Korean IP/Proxy to access the site apparently.

Thanks to Clefairy for the summary! News tweet by ESChosun reporter, Siwoo 'zelgadiss' Lee

Rough translation by flyingcows:

+ Show Spoiler +
변현우(프라임)와의 명경기를 통해 팬들의 사랑을 받는 스타크래프트2 저그 선수 '제니오' 최정민이 28일부로 정든 팀 oGs를 떠난다.

The player oGs Zenio who attained fans through games with Byun Prime is leaving oGs on the 28th.


oGs 박상익 감독은 최정민의 탈퇴에 대해 "최정민 선수가 오랜 시간 숙소생활을 하면서 '합숙'이라는 시스템을 신경써 온 것 같다"며 "함께 해결방안을 모색했지만 팀 규정상 외부 연습, 혹은 자택 연습을 하는 경우를 특별한 사유 없이는 허용할 수 없어 부득이하게 최 선수와 결별하게 됐다"고 밝혔다.

Coach park (oGs TheWind) on zenio's leave:
"Zenio has been thinking about dorm life for a long time" and "we have looked for a solution, but the team regulations require a special case to be allowed to train outside the house. Therefore we have parted ways with Zenio.

(not sure how to make that sound less negative... in korean its not negative at all)

박 감독은 또 "이윤열 선수는 대학교에서 학업을 병행하기 때문에 휴학한 상태에서도 공부를 손에서 놓을 수 없는 상황이라 외부 생활을 하고 있다. 최정민 선수와는 경우가 조금 다르기에 팬들의 넓은 이해를 바라며, 최 선수가 향후 좋은 성적을 거두기를 응원하겠다"고도 덧붙였다.

coach park on oGsNada
"Nada is allowed because he cannot stop studying even if he has taken a break from school, but zenio's case is a little different."
coach park also wishes that fans will understand and that he will root for zenio even after he has left the team

따라서 오는 11월 21일 '글로벌 스타크래프트2 리그(GSL)' 2011 시즌7(Nov) 코드A 48강 마지막날 출전이 확정된 최정민은 해당 경기부터 oGs 유니폼을 입지 않는다.

therefore, today (november 21st) zenio will not wear the oGs uniform on the Code A stage

한편 최정민이 새로 둥지를 틀 게임단은 아직 정해지지 않았으며 '숙소 생활이 필수가 아닌 팀'으로의 이적을 우선 고려할 것으로 보인다.

on the other hand, zenio has not yet chosen a team to join, but he will look for a team where dorm life is not required.

Interesting as Zenio is a good player, surprises to see him taking a step back from the scene, as this suggests.

Didn't he drop out Code S last season? For 12 months he is allowed to train outside the teamhouse? But when he drops to Code A he gets kicked?

I had a good night of sleep.

According to the summary i got, he didn't get kicked - he chose to leave because he wants to practice outside of the team house, but that is not allowed without a proper reason.

That is sad but I can understand that he doesnt want to stay in the house, as far as I know it is the same kind of thing as the other pro houses and I would feal really uncomfortable living witht hat many people in such a small place. Hopefully he finds a team soon

most team wouldn't let u train outside of the house unless u are the superstar of the team which unfortunately Zenio is not

Sad but all the best to Zenio. Won't be long till he lands another team

Nestea and MVP dont stay in IM house and they are doing great, but each team is different I guess.

Well, gl to him then. Perhaps no better time to change teams, as he really needs some changes to hopefully affect his play positively too.

They dont sleep there but they do come in to the house to actually practice. not all the time but non the less.
Zenio wants to stay home all the time and practice from there.

Tbh I'm not horribly surprised. Good luck though to Zenio in his Code A matches this season.

I could see him heading to NsHS or TSL.

I'm surprised.

I suppose they tolerated it as long as zenio was in code s but now that he is in code a they want him to practice more.

He is a very good player, shouldn't take him to long to find a new team.

Polt lives outside the TSL house, I believe.

Zenio is a great zerg. He had an awful Code S and Up-and-Down, but he still has great talent. I can see him going to any team. I can't think of a team that doesn't have a player living outside the team house.
