Because he wants to get better at SC2 and it's about more than money for him?
Unless ROOT is paying it is quite the opposite. You PAY to be in the ministry of win... But he has a ton of fans who are gonna be dedicated to watching his progression so they will be paying for his stay through ad revenue and donations. I think he wants to do this more than Korea because he will have his family with him which will make him less homesick.

If he really wanted to get better at SC2 he wouldn't play LoL so much.
I don't play Unreal Tournament if I want to get good at Quake etc.
Right now Destiny seemed content to just play whatever was fun to him and have a bunch of people watching him do it. If he's going to go back into serious hardcore SC2 mode then good luck to him, but he shouldn't flirt with the idea of hitting the top level of SC2 while playing LoL all the time, that just ends up looking silly.
Best of luck to him with this, it'll 'succeed' since he's popular (and therefore the money is secured to pay for all of it). Whether it will help him step up another level (or if he even wants to) will be something we'll have to wait and see.
The real question is, will he play on EU West or EU East? :p
I think this is good for him. It kinda forces him to focus on SC2 instead of messing around with LoL or any other game. At least it shows that he's interested in stepping up his game, if not only for himself then at least for the sake of ROOT.

You know whats more cancerous? People emailing sponsors over things that should've been kept in house rather then made public. You're allowed your opinion but here's the thing he's also a decent player contrary to what those who hate him say. There's a reason he went to Korea and it wasn't cause he was bad. He did come back a little better though it's tough to see results of training in Korea with the little time he had over there. You really need to cool your engines sir and just give him well wishes since this is a thread stating him going over there otherwise just don't post this here on here. So just quit the negativity persistent negativity only hurts the fragility of sc2 as an esport. (This is clearly my opinion not stating any real facts so if you want to slam me for it do as you please jsut stating my own thoughts )

It at least proves that SC2 forum drama is short-lived .

He was. What were you doing at the time?
What's with the personal attack? Did you learn that from Destiny? Destiny played lol while in Korea, don't kid yourself, we all know that. He spent more time playing LoL than SC2 in Korea.

He did get a lot better from his stay in Korea, I don't really know if you saw his play before and after, his play definitely improved by a significant margin.
