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. I'm surprised you're this ignorant. You realise the reason why teams can afford to sponsor players is purely because of marketing, right? If a player isn't marketable, then it isn't a sound business decision to take him onboard. Unless of course your name is Greg Fields (where you're so infamous that you get tonnes of viewers), or Naniwa (where your results are so good that it is irrelevant what you have done) | ||

If you watch Juan IRL you'd see the difference lol.

Or because he's one of the only foreigners to ever make Korean grandmaster, and one of the only foreigners that actually has the work ethic to be able to compete at that level. He's a risky investment, but I don't get why he's getting this much hate. He found a new team, and x6 weren't that supportive of him staying in Korea, yet people are treating this like he ragequit sixjax or something. Grow up, people. The judgments you have formulated in your mind are not applicable to reality. | ||

Kas results are better online and even offline. Weird you would even compare the 2. Because i have seen nothing of MajOr that the big fuss is all about, to be even be able to compare those two. | ||

The judgments you have formulated in your mind are not applicable to reality. So? Did he win anything? Did he show any results? No he didn't. You should grow out of your blind fanboyism (a sickness many people in here have, not only for Major but for other players aswell). Up to today, Major hasn't had a single success. The only time we hear from him is when he changes his teams like underpants. Nothing else. Where is the value in a player like that? | ||
