Overshadowed by DRG? You realize that Genius was runner up Code S finals GSL Season 1 (this past feb)
This was during DRG's prime and Genius was right there. There was no jealousy. They rose up together. MVP vs MVP finals


This might possibly be true to some extent. DRG reported that Genius left the team house soon after the finals and wouldn't talk to him for most of season 2. It's sad.


It wouldn't surprise me if that were true, DRG really humiliated Genius, not just in SC2, he even went to give him an army jacket in his booth after he won, remember? That's a cruel joke to make in front of thousands of people.

then Genius should grow a pair. If he can dish out ceremonies, he should be able to take them too - especially from his appearent best friend.

Didn't Genius say it was an issue with the MVP coach? They "clashed" whatever that meant. He talked about it in an interview he did recently. Why are people still speculating if he's already confirmed the reason?

He wasn't humiliated? are you kidding me? DRG and Genius were very good friends, it wasn't humiliation and Genius did the ceremonies to him as well, it was as friendly as can be, also look at this interview:http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=344906

Direct quote from it:
"Why did you leave MVP?

I feel that Coach Choi’s style didn’t mesh well with me. I left the team after long consideration. The coach’s and my personalities clashed a little bit too much. It’s not that I had a particular problem within the team that made me leave."

If anything I think DRG might have been one of the reasons Genius stayed in MVP so long. It sounds like this is an issue that goes back several months before even the GSL, and I'm pretty sure he had left the team house before the finals.

It wouldn't surprise me if a team like SK picked up Genius. EG is a possibility, but I don't know if they have the pockets atm for another investment. Hope he finds a good team, he's a pretty damn good player.

I'm sure he'll do well in a foreign team, Quantic maybe?? Having practice partners like Squirtle and Parting would be amazing for him

I'm guessing he's going to Complexity or maybe Empire. Or team Grubby.

Pretty baller protoss, I'm sure he'd do well wherever he goes.

Unlikely to be Liquid or EG as they have Hero and JYP respectively. Time will tell.

I doubt it will be Liquid or EG. Their rosters are pretty full these days and although Genius would be a sick pickup for a team they might not have the spare cash to lure him. I wouldn't honestly be surprised if he went to Quantic. They are picking up a lot of players and they don't seem as much as a team like the Liquids, EGs and Slayers so he could stay out of the way from others (won't name names) in there whilst picking up a salary.

Complexity is another possibility. I'd love a Slayers aquisition but that is highly doubtful.

So offering a "free agent" money to join your team in the form of a salary is buying them? Then more teams then just EG will be attempting to "buy" him

Both EG and Liquid really need another strong Protoss player. I'd go towards Liquid getting him between the two since EG will probably try and go after Stephano in August (unless their pockets are really that deep and they can afford going after 2 big players).
