I guess SK wanted a star player and MC wanted a team that paid wages. Good deal for both of them. I kind of feel sorry for oGs, but what are you gonna do?

Weird news do SK even have a roster other than that partnership with OGs I haven't heard the name other than with MC. My guess on what happened was that they wanted MC in the first place and he couldn't/wouldn't leave then and then with the promise of going outside of korea to every foreign event with SK he joined them full time.

So is team house training overrated? Seems like even the koreans can't stand living in the small confined spaces for too long anymore. :D

As far as training goes, it's clearly not overrated. Only people with results without living in a team house are NesTea and MVP, and such thing has never happened in BW since they got established. Team houses produce the best players and thus the best results.

If MC wants something other than results, I guess it's fine.

Well, that's out of left field. GL to him, as always.

Holy Hijack. I'm sure the teams talked it through but damn. MC must be getting a good salary out of this.

Doesn't make sense. He's the only player on the SK starcraft 2 team. He could already go to all the foreign tournaments he wanted. Must be a salary raise and maybe he didn't want to live in a teamhouse anymore. They're the only reasons i can think of for the sudden switch.

I am kind of worried that he won't get the benefits of living in a team house anymore, in terms of practice partners and overall practice "atmosphere".

Will he just be training forever alone at home now?

Kind of expected IMO. He'll probably quit in a couple of months, when he'll realise he isn't recieving his salaries and TheSlash scammed him.

SK burnt the Korean bridge, I feel that Koreans are tired of getting there players poached. GL to MC it was his choice.

You can't fault someone for making more $$ if the market is going to pay them that...

Sure, thing is, if because of this he loses the practice regimen, the team house, the practice partners, and his play starts to fade away, in the long run, he'll get less money. It's shortsighted, maybe he wants to retire soon and do something else.


Where did you get all this info on his new practice setup?

It says in the OP he's leaving the team house and will start living on his own.


Doesn't say anything about his practice regimen or losing practice partners though.

Of course people will play with him, that's pretty obvious. But living in a team house means a stricter practice regimen, and constant SC2 strategy/build/timing/macro/etc discussion, while it also has the advantage of a coach.

Even if people from oGs still practice with him, it's not the same, it's detrimental to practice. He might soon dissapear from the GSL if he and SK don't have something special prepared. Which is why I think it's a shortsighted move, or MC is aiming for something other than the GSL.

That's jumping to conclusion though based on guesses. You don't know yet what his practice regimen will look like, for all we know SK could rent a spot at one of the pro houses for him to practice at. You also don't know what his practice was like inside the house. People always assumed HuK learned tons of 'sitting next to MC' when in fact they helped each other out only on a few occasions during HuKs time in the oGs house. Stop assuming things.

I said "Whaaaaat??" about 500 times when I saw this.
Absolutely did not expect this, I hope it doesnt have any negative impact on MC or either team.

He could go to all foreign tournaments because of the partnership with SK

According to the wiki, MC will be the only active player. Am I missing something here?
