And now, look at him, he's considered as the best foreigner. Same for Feast : nothing done before he was kept by LLewellys, and now he's one of the more up and coming foreign protoss. 
Like Vira said, you could also add Huk who went to Millenium (not sure if Llewellys or Moman detected him but it doesn't matter) when he was quite good but with no lan result and ended up with a mlg title.

Weak pick up.
Not sure why Millenium would sign such a mediocre Korean if they're starting to look for players from there. Would be better to invest a bit more and pick up someone with more to offer, or if they don't want to spend more invest in a rising foreigner.
Maybe it works out well for them, I guess they'll get a few new fans, but I don't see him doing anything of note results wise.
Dragon has shown a lot of potential. Millenium first agreed to see his gameplay through his replays on stream and offered a place in the MSI Pro Cup #7. After seeing his playstyle against ToD, who has a lot of respect in the EU scene, they thought that it would be worth investing in him. Dragon may not have a lot of wins under his belt but he is a passionate player who works really hard. I think the work attitude is part of the reason why Millenium chose him. Part of the reason why a team decides to pick a player up is based on how agreeable a player is and how compatible they are.

This is actually a major reason as to why Millenium and Dragon have decided to work together to break down these barriers and limitations ^^. eSports should not be limited to one language

I thank you on behalf of our community for translating between both parties.

You're disappointed about Dragon's choice of team because the Millenium site doesn't have a lof of english content ? Either I got this wrong or this is the worst reason ever to be disappointed into anyone's decision.* Anyway, SUCCESS indeed ! *Also to be less negative, I'm sure Mill will put effort into providing more and more content in english in the future, they already translated a part of the ITW which is a first on the site, afaik How is this the "worst reason ever?" i want to see interviews with my favorite player and articles about his wins and training if its in french I cant exactly read it and as you said this translated introduction article is a first on the site which just validates my point even more. Not sure whats so hard to understand about that.
Nothing. Lack of english content on the official website simply sounds like such a trivial thing to be disappointed by, when considering the player choice of a team.

best news ive heard all day!!! go dragon!!
|
cool news! also, how cool is the name Millenium Dragon!!!
|
Success!! ^_^ Definitely didn't see this pickup coming, but i'm thrilled to see Dragon will now be participating in tournaments! :D
|
Stephano, Feast, and now Dragon. Millennium has a fierce young up and coming group of players.

This may very well be a win-win situation for both parties. Dragon gets a team that will support him (Millenium reputation might not be that good among TL trolls & fanbois, but it's a team that keeps its promises towards the players and once they recruit them they give them full support, plus the manager Llewellys is an honest and hard-working person), he will get to live in a gaming house (slightly different from those in Korea I would expect  ) and he gets to discover another continent, country and culture, which he seems to be eager too. He seems to have the character and the motivation to make it work, that's great.
Millenium gets a popular korean player who can give them access to the korean scene and maybe get some respect there, as a powerful and professional team and not only as the "team of Stephano", which may allow them to recruit another world class player in the future to pair with the zerg french genius. Plus, Dragon is not exactly a complete noob either, so he'll be a great support for the team tournaments Millenium is in, and if he manages to get excellent solo results, it's even better for him and for the team
So good luck Dragon, I hope you'll enjoy your stay in Europe and in France !

Interested to see how this turns out.

"Le Dragon" will be completely awesome. Will they let him stream from the team house?
|
Grats dragon this is your chance!!
|
Dragon's skills show that he is one of those that can make it in the big leagues because his win ratio is astounding, even if he took a small break and did not win any major events. He is one the most entertaining players out there. It's hard not to like this guy.

Of course. One of the reasons they recruited Dragon is his popularity, he will stream from the house, probably like Stephano, on the Millenium TV sometimes, and when he wants on his own stream.

As much as it will open up a group of Korean viewers, the intention was that with Dragon, Millenium would have more access to the NA scene as opposed to the KR scene. Like many other people have said, Millenium currently limits their site to French speaking fans. Hopefully, there will be more English content from now on and Millenium will also have more exposure in not only the EU scene but the NA scene as well with players like Dragon and Stephano.
Having said that, if Dragon attends and gets past the GSL Qualifiers (not officially confirmed, just speculation), he will be willing to compete in the KR scene as well. However, from what I understand, that is not the priority for both Millenium and Dragon. Their focus is currently on the foreign scene.
I hope this clarifies any misunderstandings ^^

I never watch Stephano's or Millennium's stream, so I didn't know how they handle it. I only know it was an issue at SlayerS. Thank you!
