I wonder about if players like this just didnt like their team or are trying to get on foreign teams on the hope that there is "easier" money. Because ultimately, it's the same reason people initially joined the SC2 pro league rather than BW, was because it was "easier". It probably wouldn't be a stretch to assume these players are doing he exact same thing once things didn't work out the first time around.

I get trying to get more exposure, but SlayerS is one of the more wealthier teams that travel around the world for tournements. Plus he has some of the best pratice partners in the world.

Wouldn't be surprised, just because of how much money they have to throw around.

Shouldn't be too surprised. Slayers is terrible at developing zergs.

I honestly don't like the idea of koreans leaving their korean teams to join foreign teams. It's starting to get to the point where a lot of top koreans (MC, MKP, Nada, MVP, Nestea) are going to the major tournaments that used to be only foreigners (think MLG in 2010). Some of the korean players now can't beat MVP and Nestea when they are on a korean team and receiving korean training, how can they compete when they are getting arguably worse training? Anyways, it's a good pickup for some foreign team and I wish sleep the best of luck.

That would be funny. Sleep leaves slayers only to rejoin slayers house under the EG/Slayers practice partnership!

Kinda silly if he left SlayerS just to get into a foreign team. I doubt any major team outside of would pick up Sleep of all people and give him a big paycheck and send him to events all over the world. But maybe I'm wrong?

It seems like many koreans think they can just leave their teams for a foreign team and offers will poor down on them and they will get the same deal like PuMa got.

EG probably asked him while at IPL3. "Hey sleep go ask Jessica if we can poach you?" lol jkjkjk Though in seriousness, he might have gotten some offers from some team (not just EG

)

Im just saying it because everyone says it when a player leaves a team; Liquid`Sleep ? XD

Aaaanyway, he want to join foreign team? But didnt EG just 'partner' with Slayers... Im glad to see foreigners joining/wanting to join foreign teams, but it would be neat to see more foreigners joining korean teams, not just partnerships between to teams..

GL to Sleep!

Sleep never really seem to impressive me when I've seen him (not counting team leagues bo1 c'mon)

Hope he finds a foreign team, I really do, but it seems korean players are noticing the untapped market that is the foreign scene. Therefor its a smart choice to try and get on one of them to get your expenses covered for foreign invites (bigger chance of winning).
