Ganzi was top 16 in Arena. Top 16 got all their expenses paid for Winter Championship by MLG.

Ah I thought they only got paid flight to arena. Thanks for clearing it up

Congratulations to both Ganzi and Col. What a terran power house these days, Col could send out a totally terran gstl team.

Complexity looks like it can join the GSTL already. They have multiple Code S level players, numerous other fierce competitors and a sniper or two. Come to think of it, they probably should join the GSTL.

What? Players have their own priorities. Maybe its a question of money, maybe its a question of team dynamics, but they all have good reasons for switching teams.
Besides, Ganzi will still be able to train with top level Koreans.

coLMVP looking so imba lately, at least as a sum of individuals, not sure about their team.

It also needs to be taken into account that Ganzi is Korean and probably isn't as familiar with the perception that foreigners have of coL. I don't think we should judge Ganzi for joining a team that isn't as revered as SlayerS to us, because he just saw NaDa join coL, coL has the partnership with the MVP, and Ganzi will probably have more international opportunity with coL.
At the end of the day, his motivation is probably to play in more foreign tournaments, so we should be understanding about the fact that there are only so many ways to do that. And I don't think coL is really that bad myself
That said, yea I'd rather see him on SlayerS but congrats to to Ganzi and coL

i'm so pumped to practice with GanZi :D

foreigner teams pay better and give you more opportunities to travel to foreign tournaments = more money and money makes the world go round

agreed that coLMVP is amazing combo, just remember GanZi is on coL, not MVP portion of it!

I just have to say congratulations to coL. These signings are amazing. However, why do they keep their NA players? Apart from maybe their contract not expired yet I mean.. What is Catz compared to Ganzi/NaDa? No offense to Catz, he's a solid and funplaying player just under the level of the best in the world, but compared to these new players? I don't know. Don't see what NaDa gets from being on the same team as their NA players.

Cool, grats to col and ganzi!

Catz is popular, also they are trying to develop players. Jason Lake says how he likes to develop players as well as having high level players. Also NaDa has a 3 other korean players on his team plus another full Korean team he can practice with if he so chooses but this way he can also be flown all over the world to foreign tournaments with a nice paycheck to boot.

Did not expect col to pick up ganzi :O regardless, congrats to both parties

Yeah man, "col"... For real, one of the oldest organizations in eSport, I totally have to put their abbreviation in quotations to make them sound like some random-ass garbage team.
Complexity has established the second longest running tight nit partnerships in Starcraft 2(longest if you consider it was the first of it's kind in being both a financial and training partnership), has kept and built up a lot of foreign talent and continues to do so.
You wonder why a player would leave SlayerS when they're getting offered the chance to represent and be flown to events by one of the oldest organizations in eSports partnered with pretty much the best team in Starcraft 2 right now(based on recent results)? If you opened your mind a little, maybe you would figure out why.

Do people not realize why Ganzi left slayers? He has to do his mandatory millitary service in about a year, and he stated before he left, he wanted to experience what it was like to be on a foreign team, even if it was only for 1 year. Props to him for expanding his horizons.

And also being away from Korea with a long-term visa grants you the possibility to extend your wait for military service.
