Sorry, did you just say Korea makes the best cars? ahahaha
More to the point, I don't see why a team in such an international scene as SCII needs to limit itself to Korea. It's not like any european team only limits itself to their country or a US team to only NA or something.
Get international sponsors, start streaming, get your players more in the focus of the international scene (a lot of teams are obv. doing that, but I think it can be taken further)

I think it's possible NaDa will think long and hard, then create Team NaDaMall and pick up a core of progamers. Although he could also call it Team NaDa's Body. That would let him create a legacy that would hopefully outlast his stint in the military, and allow him to stay in the eSports scene afterwards even if he came back as a manager/coach.
Team Nada's Body would be the best thing to ever happen to esports.

EGNaDa
What other foreign teams even have the bankroll to pick up such a huge player. EG cleared up some funds recently, Fnatic picked up moon/alive. Maybe complexity.
|
I want Yellow + NaDa to head/start a SC2-team and then proceed to challenge Boxer and his team for an epic match.
But whatever will come of this team change I hope he will find new motivation and maybe start to interact even more with his fans. 2012 will be the year of the NaDa!

I think he just means the South Korea Auto industry is quite a bit more profitable compared to the U.S or Japanese auto industry. Their leaner system ensured they wouldn't take as big of hit as the U.S. or Japan during the 2008 recession. Which is why I thought the U.S automakers began to mimick them.
Edit: Like their SC pros, their auto industry is quite efficient

Seems reasonable not wanting to commit to a team the year before your obilgatory military service. A more independent training-schedule seems like a good thing for him in this circumstance. Anyway, I hope we keep seeing NaDa play in the GSL during 2012 at least!

He was not living in the team house so he already had probably a very independent training-schedule

Poor oGs in loosing Nada but they still have the super good supernova !
|

The "foreign team" reference is a red herring. Nada is going to a Broodwar team to be a coach/player in anticipation of the big April shift to SC2.

Interesting idea, I'll have to keep this in mind ;o

Anything is possible at this point, but your idea is certainly not the most outlandish one I came across in this thread.

Good luck to Nada, hope you find what your looking for.

There are a lot of things to infer from NaDa's departure announcement.
It's pretty obvious that NaDa is putting himself on a clock now. There is a countdown until he leaves StarCraft 2 to complete his mandatory military service. Given his age, I think that if he were to leave for the military, it would mean his retirement. If we assume that the end point is retirement, then NaDa is most likely looking to win titles before this happens.
The announcement was almost like a self-advertisement for himself. He basically implied he's looking for a foreign team, but they should be aware that he comes with an expiration date. If we look at the team that can afford to sign NaDa, the list is quite small. coL.MVP, EG, and Team Liquid are the only ones with a capacity right now. I really doubt the former two will sign NaDa because they already have their hands full with their own roster. Team Liquid is a perfect match for NaDa, and the reasons are numerous. Liquid has a small roster, and they have quite the collection of sponsers. A Liquid player is pretty much at every major foreign tournament. I can't remember the last time when I didn't see Liquid represented in a foreign individuals tournament. Consistent attendance from Korea would not be a problem; Jinro flies in to compete at every MLG. Most importantly, the management hands-off approach of Liquid would fit NaDa's current situation the best. In reverse, NaDa would be a fit for Liquid in a number of ways as well. Liquid is currently looking for Terran players to balance out their roster. Also, it's fucking NADA!
Of course, I could be totally wrong and there's a huge bidding war going on right now for NaDa.
