Nooo one of my favorite Terrans leaves one of the best teams on this planet. >.<
Hopefully he finds a team that appreciates and promotes his insane talent.

Makes me sad as a SlayerS fan, but this is what we'll eventually see:

If EG picks him up: "Dirty cash, mercenaries, how could you!, etc."
If any other foreign team picks him up: "What a great opportunity for both Taeja and Team X! Good luck!"

Just gonna point it out now.

Also, very sad that the Korean players on the Korean teams aren't making enough that they feel pressured to move on solely for monetary reasons. The cultural "family" outlook of a team is obviously a comforting one (and true, to some extent), but it's always sobering when you need to recognize that players have to make money at the end of the day. It's their job. Taeja's frickin good at this game, and hopefully he finds a team that can take care of him in whatever ways he thinks is necessary. Best of luck to him, SlayerS, and Taeja's new team in the future

It's sad, but ultimately inevitable. People should go where the money are, why wouldn't they? It's going to get more rampant too until the korean teams equalise in funding and player benefits.

In todays MCSL Incontrol will say "Tomorrow we are going to announce a statement, which will announce an announcement, which will be a new player"

What the fuck? I don't understand. Was he fired or did he decide to leave? He doesn't seem really happy about it (he's all T_T) so my guess would be that he didn't decide, but why would they not want Taeja in the team? He's so good, I'm really sad, he's one of my favourite players.

Maybe he wants to learn English better and by being on a foreign team he will learn more. I can't imagine hill leaving a tram due to sheer greed. There must be something else. I mean, HuK left TL because of the training house.



ROFL. Huk left TL because of training house? I thought it was because the decimal was moved 1 spot to the right. A foreign team for Taeja is not bad because he doesn't live in a team house anyways. His parents don't want him to leave the house so he can just play from home and go to foreign events and make money... so nothing really changes for him except he gets more opportunity to make money.


Yeah the offer HuK couldn't refuse was the EG training house.

No. In korea, while they are better the tournament scene is actually a lot worse for the players, because there is just GSL holding tournaments and it's really hard most to compete. Just look at sc2earnings, in korea they earn a lot less in average, if you don't count the few top players who has won gsl's.
Outside of korea there is more tournaments to succeed in, and more space for showing your skills than in the GSL, also most korean teams has financial issues(I remember MVP and Nestea talking about the IM team having many issues, and many of their teammates who didn't have as much money as they had at least considered leaving the team).
Hell, it's about time

That's pretty much how it will always be. Everyone will come in here screaming about how EG poached another player, blah blah blah.

So sad t.t It must be for a lot of money I assume though because you definitely gotta have a great motivation to leave the team of the Emperor.

i guess the korean teams really aren't providing for their players. props to those that are smart enough to go to a team that will support them fully. and its great that foreign teams are getting players that compete with the korean teams (though id like to see some actual foreign talent).

but damn, i wish korean teams would wise up so they can keep their best players :/

Taeja has exceptional talent, and will be a great asset to whichever foreign team picks him up. It's a shame SlayerS (or Korean teams in general) don't/can't keep their players reasonably salaried.

The situation of the korean teams must be really really bad if players like Taeja don't even have decent salaries.

And he was in Slayers which is probably the team with the best sponsors in korea so i can't imagine how bad the rest of the teams are doing.

I think we've already had a couple o.O

Mouz or TL could use a Terran.
