He lives at home with his parents who apparently were opposed to him becoming a progamer. In addition, there are many foreign players who live at team houses that don't come close to koreans in terms of skill. I don't think just having a team house and all your living expenses paid for is the full story. Just saying that if we supported programers more, then they would get better is a fallacy. Following that logic, no one would have started e-sports as in the beginning, there would be no support for them and therefore, no one would pursue it competitively. That's where entrepreneurs come in. Esports was dead in the water without those initial risk-takers. Right now, no one wants to take a risk with the foreigner's scene. That tells me that the foreigner's scene is on its last legs. Not saying that Liquid is wrong to recruit Taeja - rather this is a miner's canary for how bad the condition has become for up-and-comers in the foreigner's scene - ie they're non-existent. | ||

Code S Trifecta of Zenio, HerO and Taeja is pretty scary. Also, when are you just gonna flat out buy Korea? It's the natural next step to world domination. | ||

No, foreign teams will recruit foreign talent (already shown skill etc) from other smaller teams but its more likely considered "upgrade" for the player. Korean joining is not same thing. | ||
