SK gaming pays more in general anyways. I can see the money being the incentive here.

Yeah I'm thinking this is just stage one of SK's larger plans. I think BW players being involved is more than a possibility.

Holy shit, what the flying hell? That is some very surprising news. Hope he still continues to partake in GSL and some other tourneys as well (I don't see why he wouldn't, but who knows?). Maybe SK will try to set up their own SC2 division now? Having MC as the first player is pretty damn good.

And once more for good measure: What the hell?

This.

What better way to do it than to get MC as the captain of a new dream team. This probably wont be the last big name korean to leave a team for SK in the near future

When HuK left Liquid, he could still stay and practice in the oGs team house "for as long as he wants" as he quoted. Why doesn't MC get the same privilege, did he leave on bad terms or something?
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

Maybe he just wants to practice from home (like Zenio).

I am admittedly kind of weirded out by the fact that oGs didn't make a statement beforehand about releasing MC from the team and hasn't really commented on it in this article though. I don't think there's really any drama though.

Lol, MC is a big boy and I am sure he has thought this over. For people who claims that he is taking money at the cost of his skills (due to training), aren't professional gamers suppose to balance these things?

If maintaining their skill level was of the utmost importance, Koreans shouldn't be attend foreign events AT ALL. Because travelling and participating in tournaments will cut their practice time. One can argue exactly how much travelling does affect their skill level but it must have some affect.

I am sure MC has thought this over and has a plan to handle this. As for whether this plan will work, who knows. It is not like he was garanteed to win GSL if he stayed with oGs.

Wouldn't be surprised if SK offered MKP a contract as well.
Reis is always involved in such matters, it was the same in Warcraft 3.

I think it's definitely a start for a Sc2 division.

WTF? Trying to wrap my head around this one. Any ideas where he is going to stay or prac? Since a house is an absolute need in S.Korea.

Honestly your posts are becoming more and more laughable. They went from being logical and reasonable to bitter and false. And you know this too, that's why you said "At least thats what i can gather from the information..." because as of now you know about as much as the rest of us. So why do you feel its necessary to paint the situation negatively? Based on the information we have the only loser right now is oGs because they just lost their Ace and their most popular player.

What happens to MC remains to be seen, but now we get to see if he really has the heart of a champion.

Lol I was laughing at that too. He can easily afford to live by himself if he wants to at this point, and let's be honest, he has the rigor and skill to maintain and even grow outside of a team house. I'm upset at the loss for oGs, though... :/
