Mmmm i liked Check in the beta, but after that he just didnt seem to keep up with other people. I'm though a big fan of slayers, so sad to see Sleep leave.

I'll just hope both of these players get picked up by foreign teams, because without a doubt they'll be amazing assets and practice partners to any foreign team.

Yet all those koreans still perform really well for their team relative to their other members. Should they hold a different standard for who they recruit just because they're korean?

Not sure about all of them, but at least Artist has better tournament showings than he rest of tis team.

edit: in particular talking about the ipl and the last mlg.


You're kidding.

RGNFuture- losers finals last mlg
RGNKiWiKaKi- do I need to say something here?
RGNSlush- Pool play
RGNSpades- Mulitple winners finals in past mlg's
RGNGix- Beat HuK to represent usa at WCG

No tournament showings? really?

Agreed with this, the best foreigners are getting good by practicing with Korean teams, so taking players away from that practice environment and expecting them to do well is a little misguided.

Although RGN now has a team house near Oakland so at least they're trying to replicate that environment.

Ah, nvm. I was not kiddin' but I was mistake because I though Artist managed to make it out of the pool play in mlg. Well, that Gix managed to beat Huk in a bo5 certainly deserves respect. As for the rest, well none of them have been performing really well in the last few months.

Anyways, I am looking forward to what teams check and sleep will join. Though I am kind of irritated because I seem to get the impression that several Koreans deliberately join foreign teams hoping it will be easier (which is hopefully just a stupid impression by an even more stupid leecher).

I knew about Sleep but now Check too? Wow, maybe they'll join the zerg-needed Fnatic as suggested before.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Yes. Foreign teams should be fostering the development of the foreign SC2 scene. Resources are limited and when a foreign team takes in a Korean that's one less foreigner they could be accommodating instead. Koreans are expensive because you have to fly them from halfway across the world to compete in MLG, IPL, etc. This would be justifiable if said Korean did well in tournaments and brought the team publicity like Puma for EG and Hero for Liquid. I don't think Sleep and Check are on their level.

The man was a monster in beta!
Sad to see them leave SlayerS though.. It's going to be wierd when all the foreigners want to be on korean teams and all the koreans on foreign teams..

I don't think Sleep and Check are on their level.

I'm not gonna sit here and argue that Check is better than Hero or Puma, but at least Check has been a solid code A player and has at least graced the up and down matches and almost got in too. Sleep isn't good, but to say Check is on a level below Hero and Puma? On what basis?

Also, everyone is flying across the god damn world, but if you try to sponsor bad players and put them in tournaments they won't magically become good. Their skill level is just lower, not that they just don't have tournament experience. Bringing in good quality players can only help your team improve.

Not impossible.
Oz left Fou for FXO, then they merged...

Edit: Forgot to mention Stephano left his team, joined another then went back to his original team.
