Jessica typically doesn't go on a rant if they left on good terms. It seems Slayers in general doesn't get too heartbroken over players leaving if they state their intentions.

Agree that if he joins another team than SlayerS (can be almost any korean team too) he would be an ace player. People that may not be super happy about TaeJa leaving SlayerS are just looking at the longer picture here. He is one of the better talents in the sc2 pool right now and it would be a shame to waste it by joining a foreigner team and get sent on every event and burn himself out and not grow as a player cuz lack of practice. And also butching his GSL chances. Or even worse, sign for a foreigner team and live abroad.

It's also easy to get a bit lazy and not work hard enough to put that talent into use if you would leave a team like SlayerS were the competition is so high that you need to work really hard to prove yourself - to join a foreigner team were you will be the untouchable ace. Not that I, or other people take TaeJa for an idiot but he is just a kid and money and "fame" can change anybodys judgement.

I'm growing tired of seeing Koreans leave their teams to try to get more money :/


Yeah they should totally go nowhere in life while playing video games for us

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?

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.


100x easier for a foreigner then a Korean these days to get your name out.


Stream learn english and interact with fans, it's not rocket science frankly

Admittedly the move from unknown to featured on TL or whatever might be the hardest part but still.

If given the choice between a mediocre foreigner who speaks english or a skilled korean who makes an effort to learn english and interact with fans I know which one a lot would pick. Just look at why Polt gets a shitton of viewers, it's not because he's simply winning Asus. It's because when I've watched him he's talking to viewers showing replays they want and learning English



Oh yea Ill just learn Korean and stay up till 5 in the morning each night streaming. That seems easy!

Koreans are learning more money, more fame, can be achieved outside of KR. Ya, top GSL players are famous, and make money... but to get all the way through it, and that's the ONLY tournament. You can't blame good players for going abroad to make their name known, and get some damn money.


The only problem is when all the 'foreign' teams are all Korean's. Honestly, when my favorites (usually home team players) are out of the tournament, I don't even bother watching the rest. Which usually ends up beind Korean vs Korean.
Another one bites the dust

I don't care how he posts, I'm just commenting on his insatiable lust for drama.

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.

No it's extremely retarded to call all Korean players boring characters. Don't try to make racist bullshit sound resonable. It's not.


I fail to see how its racist... if anything its ethnocentric. Different people have different cultures, one can be seen as more interesting and sellable to one culture whereas others may not. Check your definitions please, not everything is racism. Also you seem to have ignored my "for the most part" obviously there are extremely entertaining Koreans but like I said "for the most part" they are mostly dull and unrelatable(imo).

^ 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.




Taeja is probably the biggest name with talent, besides MC, to join a foreign team. Up till now, we've only really had B-teamers, people unable to even qualify for the GSL go to foreign teams. If he has Puma success, I can really see more and more Koreans follow in his footsteps. It could be good or bad depending on how you look at it.

But wouldn't u want to be THE terran on Slayers, eclipsing MMA and etc. in popularity. But maybe he just wants more money. I'd understand that too.

Zenio was a constant in Code S up until getting knocked out in GSL October, I wouldn't call him a B-Teamer.
