ryung is in code s
how is that pretty bad ?
also boxer is in the up and downs and might go to code s.. we will see..
its funny how people who keep saying liquid needs a terran don't actually know about liquid's philosophy on players. They don't care what kind of racial breakdown they have, they just want the best team that fits their personality and player style.

Personally I do not consider race variety related to depth. When I say depth I am talking about skill and results; as those are what is being discussed in this topic. It seems weird to pull something out of context and refer to depth as racial balance, when for the rest of us depth is being discussed in a topic that looks into our recent results and skill.
That said I can get into this a bit more and share my thoughts with you. Racial depth is not one of my primary goals for the team. It's a nice bonus, that's for sure. However I first and foremost believe in a players' skill (talent/hard-work etc) and personality. If these match my view of Liquid then the race is not going to influence my decision very much at all. The same goes for nationality. People often think it is my goal to have Liquid be a completely international team. It is not. It is a side effect to being open minded regarding nationality. Liquid could be a team with 10 Swedes or 10 Zergs and as long as every single one of them fits Liquid really well then that's fine with me too.
Not everyone shares this philosophy and that is fine. Mouz only has Europeans, EG goes after all the Americans. We're fine with whoever we like. It makes teams different and that is a good thing.

Why wouldn't they?
They better not!
They better not delay the documentary if they do, at least.
I think the real reason koreans are leaving is because they all want to try american hamburgers like Nestea! Since Nestea is God, he told his minions about the heavenly taste of american hamburgers. This in turn lead to the koreans seeking foreign teams, so they too can experience this holy grail and be one step closer to their God, Nestea.

I think it's actually the other way around. The first time i heard Koreans likeing Hamburgers was in Nasl 1 with Boxer. But you can just edit out Nestea in your comment and put Boxer in it and then it's right

If we're talking NASL 1, then maybe it was MC. Remember the story incontrol told at ipl 3 about MC coming up to him with his entourage of koreans and asking him, "famouse american burger where?"
Kinda sucks for slayers, but I'm not too surprised. MMA and Boxer are always going to be the #1 and #2 invites to foreign tournaments, and the highlighted players. It makes sense for them to want to travel and proove their skill in tournaments other than GSL, where who knows if you are even going to have a chance to make it out of the ridiculous talent pool.

Millenium have always been pretty tight with money spending when it comes to flying players across the globe. Even Stephano who realistically has a very good chance of winning back the cost of flights at any foreign tournament is used sort of sparingly.
EG, Fnatic, Liquid or Complexity seem like the obvious places for both players.
Millenium has a very good manager. That's why they use money sparingly. Still they are more profitable than most foreign team bar EG (and maybe TL)
Looks like Ganzi had it with always being 2nd after MMA both in tournaments and most importantly how people treat him in the slayers house. He has said some uh,"enlightening" things about what he thinks of MMA in various interviews so I think that's the case.
Somebody should pick Taeja up. That guy is such a beast, has the most cleanest mechanics from anyone I have seen from any race, only Bomber gets close.
