Salary vs no salary, it's not exactly a very tough choice. Korean teams are really going to have to start paying their players or this is just going to keep happening.

I dont see him joining Liquid (because really how well does Nazgul and the team know him?). You dont just get into Liquid for being good, you have to match their ideal for a professional player. And does EG really need another player? Same with Mouz. Im thinking maybe Quantic or coL.

In my very biased fanboy opinion, he's the very best free agent in SC2 ever. Teams should hurry to sign him.

its not just that, its that in korea its GSL and nothing else
In america and EU theres MLG, DH, IEM, NASL, IPL and then all these small daily cups and what not, theres just more chance to make money.

GSL is probably the hardest tournament that happens (except maybe providence MLG, that was stacked) and yet i THINK it doesnt give the biggest reward for first?
cant blame them
cant see it being long before hes on another team either

Bit sad for SlayerS, although they got still their best Terran players left.

Oh man. This makes me so sad (((

Taeja is so fucking talented ... if he stays on Slayers, he'll progress so much faster than on another team, I think ...

This seriously sucks.

Korea = minor league with major league talent.
Rest of the world = major league with minor league talent.

with so many people leaving for foreign teams, it really hurts SC2 in Korea... Why isn't SC2 making money in Korea? Is it because BW is still around?


EDIT: I think this pretty much tells you how much SC2 is struggling in Korea. SlayerS, arguably the most popular/sponsored/successful, team in Korea is losing their player to a foreign team. Kespa needs to make an sc2 league soon. :>

Not to mention all the cups and smaller, local tournaments and invitationals. Also, players gain a lot of experience attending several live events and garner a lot of publicity.

LiquidTaeja please. It hurts me as a SlayerS fan, but if it has to be a foreign team, than I'd for TL. They need another terran, they got their players always in the spotlight and they get them to LAN events. So...do it!

You can almost count on it.


JYP...?

Seems almost every player to leave a Korean team lately is leaving Slayers. Which is the very last team I'd expect people to want to leave...

no offense to them but Sleep, Golden and DraGon are not as good as Taeja is! He is their biggest loss so far.
