Sick pickup for xsix. I feel Slayers is a more prestigious team so at first it may seem like a downgrade for sleep. but foreign teams can offer so much more in the current state of sc2 plus he's going to be living in the states? Nice.

isnt this going to be expensive? fiirst you have to pay for travel costs then you have to pay for basically a semi-permanent translater because im pretty sure sleep doesnt speak english. am I missing something here because its hard for me to see how this is going to make sense from a buisness standpoint.

Great acquisition by CheckSix, hope to see a lot more from Sleep in the future, and I can't wait to see what he's able to help his teammates improve.

Meanwhile ReignArtist rules NorCal. One day these warriors will fight for the state of California. I'll be there to witness the history.

the prestige is at Slayers, but the potential for fame and glory is at Checksix where he wouldn't be overshadowed by Slayers top dogs.

I've been helping him regarding translations as of late. Most translators don't get paid unless it's something intense (event, contract negotiations, official paperwork, etc). But yes, living costs & airfare is probably going to be a lot, but if Sleep can pull it off in the foreign scene, it'll be a good cost/benefit scenario.

In case some of your don't realize this, many middle class Koreans dream of immigrating and working in the USA. Sleep's parent were probably happy that he is going to live and work in the US already at his age, it's like the most common goal of any Asian student who go to study in the USA. He did it through pro-gaming.
Missing out on the GSL is fine as long as he does well in Western tournament, the ping to KR servers should be good enough too.


This, people like to rip on the USA but its actually a nice place to live if your not poor

We also plan to help him improve his English which is valuable in itself I plan on improving my Korean. It's a fairly Win-Win situation
