Taeja joining liquid = documentary being delayed more T_T even tho i'd like it to happend I still cant wait for it :D!

Taeja will most likely join a foreign team no problem imo.
There is a reason why i keep score, winning is everything, losing isn't.

Salary vs no salary, it's not exactly a very tough choice. Korean teams are really going to have to start paying their players or this is just going to keep happening.

its not just that, its that in korea its GSL and nothing else
In america and EU theres MLG, DH, IEM, NASL, IPL and then all these small daily cups and what not, theres just more chance to make money.

GSL is probably the hardest tournament that happens (except maybe providence MLG, that was stacked) and yet i THINK it doesnt give the biggest reward for first?
cant blame them
cant see it being long before hes on another team either


Never ever compare Providence to GSL... especially with that seeding rofl ... lose 2 bo3's and win 1 and become top 8.

Was wondering how long it would be until this got out.

Sad to see, Taeja was a pretty solid player to have in any line-up.

Can't really blame them you see all these foreigners with a 1/10th the skill of top Koreans getting pay just as much if not more than the Koreans, why wouldn't you take a shot at that and Taeja is good enough to have a solid chance at winning any tournament.

TL's koreans are a bit different though, partnership with oGs play's the main factor, i doubt they would recruit Taeja and rather recruit oGs players if they both think it's good for both party's.

Also Taeja is going to be picked up in a blink this guy is good, TL has a budget, EG, CoL, Qantic all seem higher budget teams i am sure he would get a better deal with them.

Just theory offcourse, who knows

What about JYP?

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.


If you think its all about bad manner you sir are the dumb one. Look at Sheth for example his stream was a great insight into what a great guy he is and his interaction with his fans is superb, as a marketable character he far exceeds "really good korean whos only interaction with fans is 'I have shamed my fans I shall practice harder and do better next time'".

Calling me dumb for voicing my opinions on who I enjoy watching and following is fucking retarded.

Sad to see him leaving SlayerS but he is an insanely good player and deserves whatever salary he needs to be happy. I would imagine that the most logical choices are EG FnaticRC SK or Quantic. I don't really see Taeja joining Liquid as they recently acquired Zenio and Taeja was not on oGs...though they do need another T ><

I don't know why this took so long to get out...

Taeja has left SlayerS, I confirmed with Jessica and Cella like a week or two ago.

Edit: Also anyone calling Teaja stupid for leaving SlayerS has no idea what they are talking about. He had minimal practice with the team, and management never gave him the respect he deserves. Idk if this is why he left, but it's what I observed in my time when he was on SlayerS.

I think a lot of people don't realize how little support some players on the SlayerS roster get.

They have such a large talent pool that it's impossible to give them all the support/attention etc. they want in a team.

How can they give him the "respect he deserves" when he doesn't even want to be at their team house?

Teams like slayers seem to have a tendency to hold back players they feel are 'not ready' for the bigtime. I can easily see why gosu terrans such as dragon or Taeja would be exploring other options. They see what happens to their other countrymen who play for foreign teams and they want in on the action too. Cant say I blame them. Look at how things have ended up for Puma, he was nowhere to be seen when he was TSL.

Well, Taeja never went to the SlayerS team house after his debut performance at the GSTL with his all-kill, if I recall clearly. He's been distant from the team for a long time, even despite helping teammates out in practice.

But this is probably why SlayerS is holding a draft in the first place, as they need more Code S or champion caliber players in their team. As of this moment, it's only Puzzle, MMA, Ryung, Coca and GanZi.

yea it's ONLY those 5 <_<

can't even think of another team that has that deep of a roster

I'm sorry are you aware that NesTea and MvP don't live at their teams houses? Should they get respect? Living at a team house is not everything, and Taeja was putting out results better then anyone besides MMA not even in the team house.
