I agree with Steel here. I remember watching Violets stream one day and hes like "Hmm, i think I will get #1 GM on Europe today" and he gets really close to it, like #4 or something by just playing about 6 hours. Its crazy, some team really needs to pick him up because hes really good and he stands toe to toe with pros on the ladder.
The problem here is that ranking on ladder does not mean you are better than the people that are below you. I forget who it was but I think it was MVP who is #~160 GM on Korea last season and he is arguably one of the best Terrans in the world. So yeah, I still think violet is good and worth being picked up on a team, but he is not as good as people think he is.
Id like to see TeamLiquid pick this guy up :D

viOLet is a baller. I remember watching his stream one time and he got 3 port banshed with no evolution chamber or lair and he just somehow defended it and won the game. After that I was an instant fan. Hope he can find a team soon.

I used to hate this guy because he just keeps stomping Axslav every time he meets him but now I can't anymore. You robbed me of my only purpose in life

At least viOLet gained a fan, though!

Finally took the time to read the full article and watch the CSN interview. Both were really eye-opening and it was nice to be able to connect to him personally.

gl viOLet, hope you find a team that suits you!

wow.. just saw this thread. Great stuff.. of course I am a bit biased, but I will have to say that I was a bit skeptical myself when Andrew first brought this idea of a 'Training Camp' up.. and here I am having to figure out a way to make it all fit in with CSN's master plan to rule the competitive world... but after seeing his dedication to practicing each day and how he finally was able to reach out to the viewers a bit.. I believed Andrew had picked the perfect player to be our first Trainee. I almost feel guilty sometimes having him help us promote our other events.. because he is just so calm, cool and collective. I think though..that what makes this story so great is that so many people have grown to appreciate him and if we (CSN) can help him find a team and do what he does best .. then that's a pretty complete story.

Great stuff and thank you for the support and I know that viOLet very much appreciates it as well.

Very well written article on a really cool player. RGN.viOLet seems to make the most sense to me, but I guess what's most important is that he gets on a team before he has to go back to Korea, assuming that's what he wants.
