So? Good for them I suppose? That is totally beyond and irrelevant to the point that I'm making. Buying tip-top talent is good but for how long? Amateur players need to be scouted and untapped potential needs to be jumped on. The Korean teams seem to get it, as they are constantly getting young and new players, who then pop out and go beast-mode in the GSTL. There is currently no foreigner team doing that, I believe.

People are. However, investing in upcoming talent isn't very popular. Just read through the thread about Vile being absorbed by Quantic. So many people saying it's a waste of money when they could have spent that cash on buying a good Korean. It doesn't matter what you do, people hate everything.

I don not really like how Fnatic is going through the same that FXO did a while ago. Going from foreigner to Korean :/

Hmm, this must be what Fxoboss was talking about a while back, about translators trying to poach his players, after MLG Winter Arena? Hwanni works for Fnatic, right?

Damn shame IMO, FXOz was one of the best ID's in sc2. Can't think of another player with only one letter for his ID. He was also by far the best toss on FXO, now they only have Choya..... Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if Choya's disastrous actions in the GSTL was the main cause for Oz leaving the team.

Correction: Going from worse players to better players. While I share your sadness regarding foreigners being less notable, its hard to have sympathy when they are worse players.

Please don't. The last thing we need right now is yet another player transfer exploding into ridiculous speculation controversy. Boss said he wanted foreign events, and couldn't provide them. Fnatic will. So he moved. That's it.

Somehow you missed Squirtle who is like 52-4 in the past two months.

I thought I'd put him, guess not.

The list wasn't meant to be exhaustive or in order. I could probably scrape together another 10 Protoss players better than Tod.

Lame, I liked Oz on FXO.
