Juan Carlos "MajOr" Tena Lopez, arguably Mexico's best and most recognized StarCraft 2 player, has left CheckSix Gaming after a 4-month stint with the North American-based organization. Lopez, who had changed his handle from MajOr to "WinDy" upon his signing with x6, is making the switch after potentially receiving an offer from a yet undisclosed team.

CheckSix management told ESFI that Lopez had been contracted for a specific period of time, but that they always try to do things in the best interests of their players. It seems this was one of those cases, as CheckSix confirmed that his contract was not bought out by MajOr's new team.

"He got an offer that was a lot more convenient and helpful to him as a player," said x6 Business Development Director Curt Carter. "What we offered him was more than fair to him as a player. We just wanted to allow him the opportunity to do something that better suited his needs."

"Thanks to CheckSix for all support over past few months," said Lopez in his official statement. "It was great, and I appreciate them allowing me this better opportunity. Hopefully, people continue to support me no matter where I am."

According to Curt Carter, CheckSix won't be immediately looking to fill his spot on the team. "Yes, some 'star power' will now be missing; however, we are extremely confident in our current roster of players, despite lacking some of that star power."

For people that do not like to read the article associated with the title. He was NOT released for behavior. He was released simply because he had a better opportunity come up and CheckSix wanted to allow him to pursue it.

I hope he finds a Korean team that will give him room/board, he's very good and it's a shame that he keeps switching teams, tbh I forgot he was on x6 =P

Good luck MajOr!

Well I mean it sounds like he got offered a better deal by another team. I don't blame him, no matter what any pro gamer says (except a select few) if they are offered more money they are probably going to take it (like huk going from liquid to EG).
When I think of something else, something will go here

I think the big question isn't "What team is he joining?"

but "What will his new name be?"

Seems like a sucky deal since they helped keep him in Korea but he didn't play in many big tournies. Still always a fan of RootKitty hope the new deal is something good maybe a Korean team or something.
