WoW. really nice, I like Taeja very much, but don't like Slayers. Good move, would be nice to see him go to Prime, but I guess, he wants some money from a foreign team. Hope it won't be EG, anything else is ok to me :D

Liquid needs at least one more terran, since its only jinro now, imo.

could be fnatic since he could train with alive.

He didn't as far as I know.

Btw, OP, I hope you got his permission to post that.

Wow, huge loss for SlayerS - Taeja is one of their best players IMO. Kinda sad he's leaving, I enjoyed the storyline he created when he fought for BoxeR's Code S spot. But it'll be cool to see him in foreign tournaments.

it seems like players on Korean teams don't earn anything unless they win some big tournaments. so not a bad move for himself imo.

whats with all the koreans "go foreign team" ? do they imagine that foreign teams have gold mines and can pay them 10k$ month?

So they can travel and see the world. That's a great opportunity for any college aged kid and the KR teams don't often send players overseas.

I bet he joins Millenium..... they're after a world class team.

I don't know if TaeJa gave anyone permission to publish his team movement. I'm going to speak to TaeJa before I continue in this thread, and see what he wants people to know. TaeJa is a very shy and reserved person, so respecting his wishes for privacy will be the priority.

Given the opportunity to travel the entire world to various different events and compete for favor of a global community as opposed to an insular community with, sure, lots of fans, but just not nearly as much pay-off or appreciation as is possible for someone of your caliber?

Fuck yeah, sign up for that foreign team.

^ This.

On SlayerS he is just "another awesome SlayerS terran". On a foreign team he's an ace or top top top player for the team. It's sort of like Axslav and EG.

Possible but not very likely. I don't think Taeja is willing to come to France which would be somewhat of a requirement to have a pro-contract, and I think that's what he deserves.

Do you also hate that Yao Ming went to play in the NBA? People go where the money is at, and as it stands the foreign scene in SC2 is stronger and has more money. That's why all the biggest boxing fights happen in Las Vegas, also. There's really nothing that anyone should be angry about, seriously. You guys should be happy for them.

whos yao ming? does he play starcraft? :D

lol i see what ur saying, but i like korean teams more T^T

Liquid does need another Terran, Jinro is their only one, and he's been slumping. Dignitas, on the other hand, needs to get a player to replace Sjow, and Taeja could do just that.
