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.
Alive is really good too.
But Taeja would be the best player on virtually any foreign team.

i do not get your post at all, first, mc is not on a foreign team and second, do you think hero, zenio and alive were unable to qualify for gsl? oO

MC is on SK now, not oGs. I am pretty sure SK is not a korean team.

What? MC is on SK which is foreign. Also when Liquid picked up Hero wasn't he having issues qualifying?

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.
It's the money. He probably got like 50-200 bucks each time he won those ESV weeklies, against quality Korea opponents. Now, imagine him doing that against inferior foreign opponents for $1,000-$15,000.... I blame the sponsors for throwing all the money at crap ass foreign teams :>

No, HerO had been qualified for Code A before Liquid and the last time he had to requalify (GSL October) was also shortly before joining Liquid.

Oh right yes crap I forgot about Alive. Hero had trouble qualifying but TL, with their special oGs relationship were able to see the talent in Hero. Zenio is not bad but I wouldnt put him on the same level as Taeja. I'd put Taeja in the top 5 terran list.

more viewers/exposure/marketability = more sponsors/money?

Good. Now read your post again and understand why koreans teams don't find international sponsors.

Yeah terrible terrible cheap shot considering how she has acted in the past when a player left SlayerS... How dare he post like that!
You have absolutely no knowledge of the situation involving dragon, so how on earth would you know if her reaction was justified or not? Exactly you don't

They almost all have major international sponsors.
Slayers are sponsored by Intel and Razer IM are sponsored by Steelseries, Burn and CocaCola (although there's a lot of confusion about what they get from it) Startale are sponsored by BenQ, Zowie and Red Bull oGs are sponsored by Razer, MSI and Corsair MVP are sponsored by Razer, Creative and Sound Blaster Prime are sponsored by Thermaltake
But what with the cost of running and maintaining their houses and allowing 10-20 player to live their free of charge they're unable to pay salaries in addition to that.
Foreign teams tend to skip the housing entirely have a quarter of the players and thus can pay salaries.

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.
I don't even tune into tournaments until its all korean vs korean ^^
