Only time I've seen him since he moved to Korea is when he was the stand-in in a EWM match, where he lsot First round to (P)Tear. Maybe he have been proven as a solid pracc partner to some Koreans?

imo he only joined x6 to support him during his time away from Korea, and maybe stick with them if they offered him some really awesome badass shit, but that was unlikely. Now he will try to pursue what he wanted originally. Even though since his Korea fling he hasn't been playing as good as he is, I'm sure he wants to change that now.

Would be nice to see him join a good team, change his name back to MajOr, and start showing some badass results
(as history has it though, he won't xP)

I'm surprised that anyone picked him up after the last incident with the attitude he has. I don't mean to be mean, but I just can't support a player like that.

Juan is arguably the best raw mechanics of any foreign Terran by far and has the closest real mindset to Korean Terrans as any foreigner can get, plus he was almost on eStro in sc1 for his sick dedication and work ethic. He treats Koreans with extremely high respect, because they're not the god awful foreigners.

Anyone who is surprised that people care about skill more than manner is silly. Every team should want a player like Juan, even if they don't agree with the things he has done, they should want to work towards helping him better himself as a person, while he can better them as a player for their roster.

Actually Kas mechanics > Major, but not by a huge margin. Other than that i agree with the rest of your statement.

No, Kas is handicapped compared to Juan, please never say things like that, lol Juan has 200eapm in TvZ/TvP, Kas has 150 (using the Korean apm thing). If you watch Juan IRL you'd see the difference lol.

Why the heck can't Major be a top foreigner? This guy was considered to be a bigshot BW foreign prodigy (and then SC2 came out), and he has yet to show anything high-class in SC2 :/. I'm a bit disappointed.

And he still continues to switch teams. :\

No Good team would want him, he knows no loyalty or respect.

I really don't even think this is a surprise to us anymore. Major just jumps around a lot of different teams, for better or for worse... its expected at this point.

Now the question is: how long is he going to stay with the next one and which team will he be joining?

Being bad mannered is one thing, but being unreliable is something completely else. A managers worst nightmare is unreliable subjects, be it either a player on a Starcraft team or a co-worker in your company. No team wants someone who has little sense of obligation, and cannot be trusted to stay for longer periods of time. Actually, any Korean would be preferable since they have a strong sense of duty and work ethic. Why should anyone want Juan over a generic Korean top player? Is Juan more charismatic? Has better skills? Has better work ethic? I guess his english is better, but that's probably it.

he's possibly one of the few foreign terran hopes + free drama and popcorn. so, just take it as a "whatever". losing major is worse than him switching teams every so often.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

I've never understood the Major hype, he hasn't had a single measurable success since he got past open bracket in Columbus. Either way, good luck to him.

Isn't Juan just the less talented Naniwa right now? I mean Nani has changed a lot of teams and has been regarded as the most difficult player to manage.
