Hope he finds a new team quick, or already has joined another team. But I guess we will have to wait and see

Sad, he was definitely one of the strongest MVP players.
If he's going foreign, I'd guess Complexity.
Busy night, but there's always room for another... unless the servers are down.

Remember GSL 2012 S1 final, when DRG handed him military clothes? I guess he is going to the army.




I'm inclined to say that its this. I can't see why a player as good as him would just randomly leave a good team like Mvp. The odds of him going to a foreign team are quite low I think.

Ok, so barring military service, this is my reasoning for new teams:
Liquid: not likely, just acquired Taeja. Especially with OGS disbanding, it seems like finances may be stretched.

EG: Just got thorzain, they're not due for a roster addition for awhile yet. The name would be cool though...

Fnatic: They seem comfortable where they are, they've got a decent protoss in Tod, but nobody GSL caliber. Especially with Alive on their team and with a korean house, it seems somewhat likely.

Mouz: No koreans yet, but they just lost thorzain. This seems like the best way to start IMO, my #1 pick.

Empire: Welmu is too new to the scene to be flagship toss. With violet + beasty/kas, they can be a sick team with Genius, dominate the entire Euro scene. Vines is good, but it seems Empire picked him up a bit prematurely, might have to wait for results there.

I don't think Acer, ROG, atn, or any of the smaller euro teams really have a shot at Genius. Possibly SK, but two S class protoss players seems like overkill. I'm still waiting for SKSupernova.

That's not good enough for some people. Especially when you get that close and expect to win.

They acquired Oz a little more than a month ago.

Ah, I forgot Oz. Fnatic seems unlikely then, my mistake ^^.

I forgot to mention coL too, but frankly they've bought so much korean talent (no offense to them) that they should just sit and nurture what they have. Recently they got Nada, Ganzi, Heart, and Killer... I can't imagine they're in the black atm. My only reservations is that the coL-MVP partnership could have created some friendly bonds with the coL management. Still, unlikely.

That's not good enough for some people. Especially when you get that close and expect to win.

When you're talking about an immediate career, that's more than enough reason to not retire early and go to the military.
You just had a decent accomplishment and earned yourself roughly $18,000. Considering, you don't have to worry about living expenses because you're a top notch player and any team will be more than happy to accommodate at least that, at the very minimum, $18,000 is a pretty comfortable bit of money. You can pretty much do anything you'd want to in a normal life for about a year with an extra $18,000.

Of course, it will be spent sooner and he will need to make more prize money, because that's how humans live, but winning $18,000 should be good enough for now.

You forgot Millenium and coL.

If he were going into the military, why leave MVP now? He isn't leaving GSL this season and still could help MVP in the GSTL. So he obviously isn't going into the military right now. Doesn't make sense to leave MVP while still competing in GSL if he were going into the military.

I mentioned coL a few posts later. I did forget Millenium, but they never struck me as a serious contender for any of the big players. I know they picked up dragon, but that was more of a PR stunt IMO. They've never made a bid (afaik) for any big players, both feast and stephano became top-tier after they were on the team for awhile.

To the guy that mentioned Welmu, I thought he was one of the guys that left Eclypsia with Desrow/Scarlett/Artist. I mixed up team order (he was Empire first, then Eclypsia), nice catch.

Mouz just posted on their twitter in response to Genius confirming that he left MVP:

@Genius958 Are you looking for a new team maybe?

A no-brainer, everyone would want him, a bit slow from mouz to say the least haha.
