I hope he ends up on a better team. He is one of my favorite players and his skill level was above Empire.

Safe bet seems complexity, but Empire seemed very good for him, and he seemed really happy with them. I think it's very likely he just signs back up with them.

Regardless, he ain't going anywhere. Maybe new team colors, but he'll always be the one color that matters, Zerg Purple.

GL Violet! Awesome player, very glad to see him doing well lately.
My name is Mike, and statistically, yours is not.

Violet's Code S after all. I'm hoping Root, but the which have the money to buy him and meet his needs (I'm assuming the guy who said that he wants to stay in US I correct), is probably Quantic or Complexity, and less probably EG and Liquid?

Probably just as much chance he just resigns with Empire. Then again Empire probably got him at a rate cheaper than what he might be currently worth given all the wins he got since signing with them.

If it's not Empire.Violet still I'll be surprised. Could be col has some spare Nada cash around though.

Liquid'Violet???? Would be super sick. I would love for him to join MVP again, but its highly unlikely he chooses a korean team (if he is leaving empire).

This looks like a case where both parties are willing to extend the contract but Violet wants more than Empire is willing to offer. So he makes it public by changing his twitter id and having his manager issue statements about the matter. All very standard stuff for any high profile business venture.

We'll see if they are able to generate enough public pressure for team Empire to pay up.

Its not fair to say that. violet was the strongest player on Empire. But he is not on whole another level than Kas and Beastyqt who have both beaten numerous Koreans.

For example in the EG Masters Cup league violet was only 11-12 (in games) for Empire. Kas was 13-13, Beastyqt 14-11. (edit: Happy was 14-10)

The coL house is in Texas, and doesn't violet live in Texas already? With NaDa retiring, coL might have money to sign violet.

Sorry, but the coL.MVP partnership's been over for awhile. Regardless, as much as I want a Korean Zerg on EG, and especially viOLet, I still feel that coL. will be a better choice for him.

Good luck viOLet, I hope you find a great team! And thanks Empire for helping him out.
