Its true thought that foreign teams are offering more than Korean teams especially for a player of taeja's caliber. Edit: Please for the love of God don't go to EG. | ||

Two main reasons why. 1. Salary & Quality of Life. Most Koreans don't even get paid a basic salary, nothing; they have to live off their own earnings. Life is difficult, housing is difficult, eating is difficult... basically, it's a really tough life. Look at the EG house; it's like a Korean progamer's dream. 2. Tournament exposure. Koreans are exposed to what? Basically, only the GSL, because they simply can't compete in international tournaments (no invites, no money to fly, no connections, etc.). They look at people who compete internationally (MC, MMA, Puma, even Hero & Zenio) and they see huge amounts of opportunity to compete and win against "easier" foreigner fields. Which to them, is probably true. How many tournaments would Zenio be in if he stayed in OGS? What about Hero? Did anyone really know about the guy before his Liquid switch? Simply put, they see their struggling friends move to foreigner teams, and then earn both a salary and a lot of tournament winnings, as well as a ton of travel. Quality of life is something you can't ignore, or blame them for. The Korean SC2 scene is still bad and underexposed. | ||

I guess it depends on what team he joins. If he gets on a super rich foreign team then good for him, but I feel like he still needs to be with slayers until he hits a true Code S level on par with other terrans like MvP or MMA. We've all seen what happens to some koreans who were boss then go to foreign teams (like puma?) and just don't have the same practice regiment or nearly as good training partners and don't do well in Code S or even Code A just an opinion, he can do whatever he wants but I think more korean training for mid-level korean is necessary until he hits that S class and can dominate everywhere. | ||

If Liquid had picked up Taeja instead of Hero last year and gave him the same opportunities that Hero had, I would wager that Taeja would have made 6 figures by now. He is that good, and he could really bolster Liquid's roster. | ||

He reminds me a bit of Huk in his mass ladder days, cheese won't touch him (I'd like to have that link where he defeated 6 pool with CC first ^^), although he lacks still a bit in "prepared" matches. I wouldn't mind seeing a LiquidTaeja, nor would i freak out if he chooses another team. | ||

Taeja/Puma Huk/JYP Idra/??? Pick up another top Zerg and they are set. Then they just need to fill in the practice partners with some potential up and comers. =) | ||
