I bet he's going to liquid! Master troll hotbid tried to throw everyone off the trail by posting in the other thread that he was not sure if taeja had left slayers or not. Was just a rouse to keep it on the downlow, so we wouldn't suspect him of going to liquid.

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. =)

They got Machine man, he's a god in the works.
I'm not even joking, Machine has been workin pretty hard and making improvements.


Sorry to say this, bro, but all these players who are "working pretty hard and making improvements" are just simply not good enough. If they have been known in the community for this long, and haven't shown a significant change in ability (ala Stephano) by now. I'd have to say that it is unlikely they will surprise with a change of ability/results in the future.

If Taeja joins a foreign team that takes part in a league with all-kill format, that team has a pretty good chance. TaeJa is incredible solid and insanely strong.

I'm happy about these Koreans wanting to be on Foreign teams, for whatever the reasons. I don't really think the Foreign teams can keep up comparatively, having the Koreans can definitely help them with their practice and help give their teams some strength and stability.

I'd really love to see Korean teams picking up Foreigners (instead of the clan-mergers), I think foreigners really know how to abuse creativity and ingenuity vs Koreans who are powerhouses (usually).

but I can see where the risk in grabbing foreigners is, so I don't blame them.

GL to Taeja and his future endeavors.

This is really big. From a talent/skill standpoint, I'd say SlayerS just lost one of their Top3 players. I really think TaeJa is their 2nd best Terran (behind MMA obviously) and arguably their Top 3 player behind MMA and Puzzle. He's also really young with a lot of room to grow and improve. Whoever picks up TaeJa is picking up a monster.

Haven't heard this practice. Do you have evidence of this practice and which teams do it?
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

Well, going from no salary to some salary probably sounds like a good deal.

Eventually the 'everyone join foreign teams, hurry before they run outta money!" thing will end. There are only so many that'll make it.

Please don't post uniformed non-sense. Living in the team-house is "free." You can think of it as your workplace, and your home. The reason Korean teams can't afford to pay players is because they provide computers, housing, and basic necessities (2 meals a day). Anything extra, is up to the individual players.

However, for someone like TaeJa who doesn't live in the team-house those benefits do not affect him.

I do like Machine, but he's got a way to go before being included in that list. He falls under that potential/training partner label until he does something to set himself apart. Unfortunately, I myself don't see that happening. Not everyone can be a star and teams need more then just star players.

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

This would be a perfect pick up for liquid to round out their team- it's a bit zerg-heavy at the moment.

I also believe that a maid is pretty much who cooks their meals, and also does house cleaning and laundry (don't quote me).

The problem is that SC2 isn't as big in Korea as it in other places around the world. Sponsors are harder to find in Korea, though it's still growing. They also have the whole Team House aspect that only a few Foreign teams have. Foreign teams like EG can have a team house and pay their players because sponsorships are much bigger internationally, and those Foreign Teams have multiple sponsors for different games. iirc, the only professional level Korean SC2 team that's starting to branch out into other games is Startale with LoL.

weel even if not (i dont rly think they have to payrent to live in the teamhouse) they are still juts a teammember at the koreanteams not having a high chance to get a trip to foreign tournaments without beeing a real superstar if they join a foreign team they are the aceplayer and the superstar and have higher chance for foreign tournaments
