That's not to say that there couldn't exist a coincidence for both Puma and Taeja to have similar stories (which we'll eventually find out about), but it's ridiculous to preemptively accuse foreign teams of stealing Taeja from SlayerS before we know anything about... well, anything! Unless you have an outside source you'd like to share? | ||

But you can't really blame them, as it is a no-brainer. Let's look at 2 teamless Terrans right now, Taeja and Sjow. If you are building a team, who would you rather have on the team, assuming you pay them comparable salaries? It's definitely not a knock on Sjow, as I believe he is definitely a top foreigner and has survived Code A's elimination round. But Taeja is so much better than anything the foreign scene has at the moment. I actually do not want to see Taeja on a major foreign team, as I would like to see him on a smaller one. Unlikely yes, but it would be nice to see him help carry a minor foreign team into major relevance. I would have liked to see him stay on Slayers, but how about...vileTaeja? | ||

Unless you have an outside source you'd like to share? You can't measure or calculate their "mindset", your argument is completely speculative, making it awfully weak. I find the coincidence to be a little too convenient. | ||

I don't really want to join in on this discussion, I just have a quick question out of curiosity: What foreign tournament did Taeja participate in? Because I cannot remember anything. | ||

That said I hope noone picks him up, Korean players (for the most part) may win but they sure as hell are shitty at being interesting characters and being relatable like most foreigners are. | ||

Unless you have an outside source you'd like to share? Well FXOBoss did rant on this last week (when it happened to one of his players) saying that Koreans are approached at nearly every foreign tournament. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Taeja was as well. | ||

Try typing that again? I can't make sense of it. I hope Taeja gets picked up by Liquid or SK. Would be pretty awesome to see him as MC's sidekick in globetrotting. | ||
