I would just like to call this out...Hero not fitting the "friends and family" team??? Zenio maybe not so much (Admittedly I don't follow zenio much" but Hero is totally one of the nicest people, and also the friendliest. He fits in great. Just because he wasn't a community member / fan favorite before joining Liquid doesn't mean he doesn't "fit" the image. :p
nicest person... How can you tell that? How do you know? Doesn't "nicest person" fit like 90% of the Korean pro's?

Sorry, my comment was actually a bit silly. I was trying to convey what I feel was the overall community impression at the time of the pickup, not my personal opinion.
The "problem" is that you have a hard time understanding to what degree someone is nice, or friendly, rather than plain shy when you can't speak their language, which is why relatively high-profile Korean pickups invariably seem skill purchases to most people. There are few exceptions to this (e.g. the ever-smiling Polt), but overall I have a hard time seeing a Korean in the same light I see Sheth; this is particularly true when compounded by Code-S- or Code-A-ness of the newcomers.

Don't see why it would. She had no problems with Golden and Sleep leaving to try their chances abroad, she just didn't like Dragon lying to SlayerS about his plans and then turning around and hunting for a foreign team to pay him.

Aww man, poor slayers... I know jessica is going to be pissed if this goes through! Haha ....still best of luck TaeJa ! He is really gosu terran ~
|
Well with the EG and Slayers partnership I wouldnt be surprised to see Taeja joining EG and he would still then be living in the Slayers house.
|
I'm growing tired of seeing Koreans leave their teams to try to get more money :/
|
Hmm I wonder if Liquid would be capable of picking him up since they need terrans, but it may be out of their budget at this point after Zenio. I wonder if Millenium is regretting not waiting a bit and picking up a better ex-SlayerS terran now. >.< Maybe they couldn't afford him anyway, and after all Dragon does provide more publicity anyway so it isn't completely black and white.

when they get no money and they dont even have money to go on foreigner tournaments , is normal to happe , ask taeja one of the best terrans in korea the best micro of terrans no doubd how much slayers pay him and you will see the reason . all koreans want to travel outside korea to see other country to meet fans and to attend foreigner tournaments . foreigner team give them this chance why to pass ?

He never lived in the SlayerS house. It's still a big change but not to huge.

Well, I just mean that it's less chances for a foreign player to get on a good team. Why would a big name team want to take a risk on an up and coming foreigner when they can just get a Korean that left his team?

Maybe, just maybe, foreigners can just get good instead of hoping that no one else does so?

i actually feel bad for the koreans. i mean sure there are some that think, o boy foreign land is a gold mine!, but really...
if you want any attention at all as a korean and any sort of fanbase and support from that fanbase, you either need to win gsl, or be on a foreign team.

Ahh, I see. That's interesting. But I'm more interested in global SC2 than foreigner SC2. I don't get as excited as I used to about seeing foreigners in high places.. I guess it's become all the same with the kind of integration we've experienced over the last year. Besides, there are plusses to having koreans join foreigner teams, like the kind of exposure the rest of the t eam gets from having someone that good with them. Though, I honestly haven't seen it do much for most foreigner teams that have gone this way, other than EG. But I don't really see it doing much good to keep stuffing teams full of foreigner mediocrity that doesn't post results. This game has taken off and it's up to foreigners to be in demand for a sport that has global standards.
And hi Diamond :D

Easier said than done. There are a lot of factors that cause the Korea-foreigner disparity, including cultural acceptance, geography, gaming culture, lack of teamhouses, etc.

Well, it's pretty hard to get your name out there, and even harder to get picked up by a team that can send you places. You can't compete vs. a player that was on a Korean team playing in GSL/GSTL with just online tourneys or ladder.
