Oo
What?!
Sleep was doing so well on that team too...
My guesses are:
a) Wants to go back to Korea. Could be for a variety of reasons, doesn't really like living in the US, misses home/family/friends/etc. With OSL popping up and Korean SC2 growing, there isn't as much appeal/need to be in the foreign market
b) Being on a foreign team wasn't as great as he thought it'd be. I feel like Koreans go to a foreign event meet foreign team managers and get this delusion of grandeur where they think foreign teams have a ton of money to throw around, etc.

Although what you're conjecturing may be correct in regards to Sleep not participating or interacting much with his team, I think we shouldn't really make a judgment call about him only having dollar signs for eyes or believing in a superiority complex without having actually knowing Sleep and his actions towards x6, it's just these kind of assumptions that lead up to 90% of the witch hunts that go on in this community.
To clear something up as well, apparently in a translated article/tweet, Xeris was mistaken about Sleep's demand for a high salary ($1500/month) and was possibly just misinformed about the situation. But again, unless a industry insider reveals the actual figures everything is just theorizing.
(T/N : Sleep also expressed that what ex Fnatic manager Xeris said about Sleep demanding $1500/month is not true - I hope this helps the clear out some issues)

GL to Sleep trying to find a new team, I hope it works out.

Hope Sleep finds a new team soon. His voice is the Barry White of Starcraft players.

you know what's funny... Sleep is actually better than 95 percent of foreign players LOL.. and he's a mediocre player by korean standards.

don't think he really cared about x6... he went ling bane or roach bane allin every single clan war we played vs him lol
|
ya sleep didnt fit, but he is really good..
|
Sad to see sleep part ways with the team. Hopefully he finds a new one soon!!
|
Gotta be hard to live abroad at 19... best of luck in finding a new team.
|
Sleep was their best player in my opinion. He was beasting up ESEA. Hope he finds a new team, one of the zergs that have most potential I think.

Wow sounds he like a jerk :O
Don't know what to think about this now...

Well that is unfortunate for Sleep but I am sure that he will find a new team soon. I actually think that it could be highly possible that he could join a foreign team even better than xSix, who knows ^^ GL Sleep!

I don't see why any foreign team would want him after this. And not sure how many korean teams will be jumping to get him either (but that has more to do with him being mediocre by korean standards)

Does this mean there is room for a zerg in x6? Hmmm? Hmmm?

I think they are pretty well off in the Zerg area with Suppy Mystik and Mkengyn

How do you know? :O. If true that sucks. If you join a team you should practice with the team xD

At first I was sad to hear this news because he was definitely the best player on the team. But if it's for the best then it is what it is.

Sucks about his attitude because he's by far the best player on CheckSix and actually did really well there qualifying for loads of tournaments and placing well in several big, big events.
I really like watching Sleep's ZvP.

A) Maybe the lower tier ones might have an issue but if any bigger names wanted to give a shot to him I doubt that they would have any issue with this guy.
B) SlayerS still seemed to like him after they left due to tweets posted from when Dragon was picked up by Millennium so I'm more then sure Korean teams are fine with him as well.
C) Maybe mediocre by Korean standards but still better then many currently getting chances on their teams lol.
