On a related note, I think this highlights the trend of really high level korean players leaving for foreign teams. Make not too long ago went to eSahara; Liquid had some good acquisiions last year (Hero and Zenio); even EG has Puma. To me this begs the questions what are these foreign teams paying that has is attrative enough to pull these Korean players. | ||

Koreans practise cross teams all the time as you can see in many interviews. Unless he's somehow managed to alienate all of the oGs players with this move he'll probably have plenty of oGs and other players to practise with outside of ladder. Naturally it's not as good as if he'd be on the same team but I hardly think he'll lack practise partners. If not that I'm sure there are other players from other teams that would want to practise against one of the better protosses in the world. It can be mutual beneficial. | ||

Also reis cared for him in the foreign countries. SO it is quite natural that MC joins SK | ||

Players train with players from other teams all the time as long as they aren't facing each other in a match soon. The only place this will affect him is not having groups of people to immediately discuss something with face to face. The main benefits of team houses are living SC2 24/7 and having people all around you to bounce ideas off of anytime they aren't asleep. Some can argue that's a huge thing but, we'll see how it affects his performance in the upcoming months. | ||

I'm sure MC has no trouble finding people willing to practice with him among former oGs teammates, or people on other teams for that matter. SC2 teams do not seem that closed off when it comes to practice. In winner's interviews many players often thank people from other teams for practicing. However I still can't imagine that at-home practice will be as fruitful as teamhouse practice. Hope SK/MC has something planned (more recruits + team house, or more likely: partnership with established team to use house), because otherwise I have a hard time seeing anything good come from this. TBH I have a hard time understanding why MC would do this. The only reason I can imagine is a very significant amount of money, but if that means one or two less major tournament wins, then the amount need to be big to cover that kind of potential loss. Anyway GL to MC in his future endeavors. Hope he has thought this through and will show us all that he can remain bosstoss. | ||

Its not like they all play on LAN in the teamhouse. MVP have said the he practice with DRG very often. Even though they even are in not the same house. They still play online... | ||
