During assembly, taeja mostly stayed with the Korean pros, and except for TL and Empire, I didn't see any manager during the winter assembly, and I didn't see BumbleBee or th Empire guy (sorry I forgot your nick) being overcaring with Taeja as they were more focused on their own players. A reasonable theory would be to assume that Taeja really enjoyed his trip (I think he did, as we exchanged a few words on the saturday evening) and simply realized that his opporunity to travel more was to join another team as the competition among slayers' members is pretty insane and he can become the ace in a lot of good teams. Anyway Taeja is a discreet but really nice guy so I hope he gets a really good team!

I hope Taeja joins one of the European teams, EG Liquid, coL has enough Koreans already I feel

Unless you have an outside source you'd like to share? I don't really want to join in on this discussion, I just have a quick question out of curiosity: What foreign tournament did Taeja participate in? Because I cannot remember anything. He was at Assembly Winter. He lost to Polt in the first round of the playoffs. He dominated his group tho.
If they decide to join a foreign team a couple weeks or months after attending a foreign tournament, it wouldn't be quite as obvious but joining or attempting to join one only days after coming back makes it all too obvious if you ask me..

go liquid taeja make it happen
|
It's kinda sad to see so many Koreans joining foreign teams. I don't think it's a bad thing in itself but it just feels like selling out...
|
i dont think all of them think that foreign teams pay more, but maybe they just want to travel?
|
maybe Millenium - taeja...
why:
because the Millenium manager said that Dragon was just a 1st recruit and he wanted to get a stronger player...
|
Another korean going for foreigner sponsorship. I wonder how this one is going to turn out. Foreigner team can't hire them all, they each have 1-2 big korean names and it's ok but sometime soon the market is going to be saturated.

That would be so fucking sick. Now that would be a good ZvT training partner for Stephano XD

fnatic probably going to drop their CS/dota2 teams after contract what with carn retiring and their dota2 team being shit, wouldnt suprise me if they pick him up.
That said I hope noone picks him up, Korean players (for the most part) may win but they sure as hell are shitty at being interesting characters and being relatable like most foreigners are.
"They no bad manner, they no interessting. Me want no gg. Many drama."
Yes sir, you are dumb.

cmon Liquid, give your team a good terran!

Taeja @ Liquid would be sick, but we might need to buy more mousemats before xD

Not sure why he'd do this... must have gotten a really good foreign offer I'd say. Sounds like EG to me, but we'll see...

Thank you for proving my point.
There should be some evidence before the accusation. It's not a coincidence yet, because countless other Korean players have joined foreign tournaments and haven't immediately left their Korean teams for foreigner teams (let alone on immoral terms). We need information first before we claim that Taeja's new head coach is an immoral jerk who stole Taeja from SlayerS using underhanded/ imperfect tactics. Let's wait before making a big deal out of yet another thing.

interesting. I for one think this is an exciting development, as it reminds me of football (soccer for you yanks). Players from all over the world are being drawn to the teams with money. I think this is a development that will help ensure the future of e-sports. Edit: good point, very true
You seem still very butt hurt about the probe rush

Maybe a bro just wants to get out of Korea and score some cute blonde chicks while munching on cheeseburgers and be free in the land of freedom. Don't hate.

You're looking at it the wrong way.
Join foreign team gains you...
Monthly paycheck which is infinitly larger than Korean team's patcheck b/c you get paid nothing.
Flights to foreign events.
Still practice in Koran team house b/c most foreign teams have deals with Korean teams.
They're not looking for the "gold mine" they're looking for a better deal and almost all foreign teams provide that better deal.

makes sense to me, hard to get exposure over someone like MMA and the rest of slayers terran.
