It looks like Golden of SlayerS has decided to leave to look for a foreign team (much like Sleep did). Although he has not achieved a lot, he is a solid player and as long as his requests are reasonable, I can imagine quite a few foreign teams that would like to have him on board.

I'd put more, but that's about all I have.

Mod Edit: Dragon has left SlayerS as well

Dragon just posted on his twitter that he has left SlayerS.

Good luck to Dragon in the future! :D

Seems like many Koreans have illusions of grandeur on how much they are worth to foreign teams and leave because of that.

I hope this is not the case here and he just wants to be part of the foreign scene, but who knows.

Many koreans think that there are riches abroad but he is a no-name korean and will be hard pressed to get any decent money. I'm sure a foreign team will pick him up but the amount they will be willing to pay will be far below what he's expecting.

Golden is a fairly solid player. He has shown some excellent play during his games in the IPL Team Arena. I look at him much like how I look at Hero and Puma, fantastic players who are very solid, but sadly crumble against top tier Koreans.

Also, another Korean looking to venture out into the foreigner scene to make it big. I can only hope this doesn't become the norm for B-Team Koreans.

Although, I would be glad to see Golden at a few MLGs and what not!

I wouldn't call him a "no-name Korean", he was played quite a bit in the IPL Team Arena and did quite the job.

Good luck to SlayerS, I'm not quite sure who'd pick him up to be honest. None of the major teams come to mind, but I hope to be proven wrong. I like Golden a lot.

If you watch golden's stream, he has very good mechanics. He's a very solid player, so I don't think finding a team will be too difficult

Hmm, I think he had a lot of potential on SlayerS, (keeping in mind theres HuK and IdrA as partners as well), but interesting choice
Best of luck to him, I hope he can get what he sets out looking for

This is absolutely true, most of the Koreans you see here on TL with the "I'm leaving my awesome Korean team to find a foreign team," usually have the following:

a) little/no significant results
b) very unrealistic expectations of how much money foreigners have
c) even more unrealistic salary expectations
d) little / no desire to actually go out and find a team (they just expect offers to come to them)

Apparently this is bad form, but it's been quoted anywho... welp ~_~

So crazy -- its why almost all the Koreans who post about looking for foreign team, still haven't found one T_T

It seems smarter to me to train in Korea and take advantage of the SlayerS practice environment for a little longer, but I'm no expert. I can't imagine any team is gonna be jumping at the opportunity to sign a no-name Korean for big bucks, which is what worries me.

Very disappointing announcement, I'd have liked to see him stay with Slayers as they clearly valued him in the team-leagues.

I don't think Golden is on anyone's list of players to pick up as a foreign team. Like Sleep, I'd love to offer him a spot on the Clash roster, but there is simply no way we can offer players like them what they expect from leaving a Korean team to join a foreign team.

suprised nobody's said eSahara.Golden yet oo

eS seems like it would be the only team with the financial ability to pick him up, considering that they were going to sign pepe until he turned out to not be pepe.

Anyone that pays $3k for SangHo is out of their minds.

3k per month? Or a one time thing?

I don't know much about buying players.

I assume Xeris means per month.
