Juan Tena… we remember this guy vaguely. An original ROOTer, Juan never really got the chance to show his skills under the ROOT banner. Juan is most famous in the SC2 scene for shedding teams and tags like fur coats in the summer. What most people don’t remember is that Juan was an exceptional BroodWar pro, considered to be almost unbeatable in the Americas and an online practice partner for Hite Sparkyz. He very nearly was shipped to Korea to play Brood War full time. When he transferred to SC2, well behind the curve and after the beta, he managed to achieve a top ten ladder ranking in under two weeks. Since then he’s posted big tournament wins and places in most events that he enters, and he’s made the trip to Korea to hone his skills against the world’s best.

Now the reigning WCS Mexico champion — winning it all without dropping a game — we’re proud to welcome Juan back to his old home. He’ll be ROOT’s fifth representative in the Blizzard NA WCS, joining NA Champion ViBE, NA qualifier Fitzy and Canadian qualifiers Drewbie and TT1 at this prestigious tournament. You can also enjoy him in TSL4, now playing under our banner and slated to take on johnnyrecco in the next round.

“We were warned before Juan joined for the first time that, that it might end up being a mistake to let him in. We were told Loyalty wasn’t his thing. Inviting Juan back was hard. He is the only ROOT member to have ever left the team without hesitation with the first offer he got; we were very unhappy at the time. Though I thought Juan was immature and disloyal, we remained friends, had ups and downs here and there but I know for a fact that he is a good kind hearted person, and everyone deserves a second chance.

As soon as we remade ROOT, Juan started asking to join, I told him no about in about 5 different ocassions. He insisted, I consulted with the team, didn’t go in his favor. Not because we didn’t like him, but because of our past experience. He asked again, and again, and again. I realized he was serious, he came clean and told me beforehand “I really want to join, but to be completely clear I would like the opportunity to leave if I had the chance to join a KeSPA team, and for no other reason” I was thinking, that if anything he had matured and he was transparent with his intentions, but that wasn’t enough to join ROOT as we want our members to be as commited as possible to the team and its members. A few weeks passed and Juan asked again, this time he said “the KeSPA team.. its not gonna happen, I want to join ROOT and I want to join to stay” Juan was ready to sign with us.

I went back to the skype team chat and we discussed, with no one having objections this time after expressing I strongly wanted to give him a second chance, we unanimously decided to let Juan be a part of our family again. One of my best teachers once told me ‘History is there so that we don’t repeat the same mistakes of the past’ Today, I would like to tell my teacher to shut up. Circumstances and people can change. I believe Juan is a very mature person and I consider him a friend. We at ROOT are very proud and happy to welcome him back into our house and hope that he, like the rest of us, will find a home in it to stay. Welcome, Juanito.”

Big pickup, nice to see him back on Root.

With that being said, I'm sure many of us are really hoping that he has really matured and can stay with this team long-term and continue showing great results.

Too bad we wont see him in a korean team (for now at least). Smart pickup by ROOT since MajOr is like the hottest foreigner (at least Terran) now.

You're a better man than I. My first taste of this guy was watching a LAN (I believe it was an MLG) where you were matched up against Major. He wouldn't even respond to your glhf, and then when he won, proceeded to do something non-gm like dancing marines or manner CC. That gave me a bad first impression, and then he went on his team hopping spree.

I hope for Catz sake that Major has changed because while anyone can change, I'd have to think fewer do than do not (maybe that's just the cynic in me).

Root, before it was bought out by Complexity was winning most of the north american teamleagues and had the most promising NA players who hadnt made it big yet.

o.o, do you even do any research? rofl

MajOr, CatZ, and KiWi are all pretty good, but none of them have any real results. But let's be honest, ROOT honestly recruits players who are extremely controversial, and often have little to no results; these players include Destiny, TT1, that Athene guy (was that actually serious though??) and now MajOr.


Athene didn't join as a player, athene is more of a spokes person for ROOT then anything, do you know what Athene has even done for the gaming community and charities? (Raised over 1 million dollars for a charity if you didn't know) And i'm positive that ROOT is planning to do some stuff with Athene to help with more charities and organizations. TT1 also recently placed 3rd-4th at WCS Canada qualifying for the WCS North-america tournament. As for Destiny, all i know is that he's going to poland to go train at the MoW gaming house and hoping to bring some results in the future.

Anyways not gonna bother to argue anymore with anybody else, gratz ROOT ^.^

That's fair enough. Keep up the hard work and if MajOr keeps improving like he has been then this is a great pick-up. Good luck ROOT!

I've seen this topic too many times even in BW. Major, I think you are a phenomenal player and have arguably one of the best featured streams on all of TL.net, and even on top of that have gotten extremely mature in how you conduct yourself while you stream, but even with this all on top of your recent changes I simply don't see you sticking with ROOT for even 6 months.

Prove me wrong!

The only real results EG has come from their Korean purchases. Same with Liquid. ROOT is probably the best home-grown team.

To be honest, ROOT kinda feels like the best place for Major to play for the next couple of years. I'm not sure why. He just kinda has that same vibe the rest of ROOT members has.

I hope he stays for a long time and grows as a player and as a person (in terms of maturity) through that.

Oooh! Two national champions on your roster! That's not too shabby root!

Congrats to both of them! I actually think this seems like a good team for major

Have you SEEN Acer?! Its FIFTY PERCENT NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. Let that sink in. They made a hell of a run at IPLTAC too. Empire's good too of course... but I think Acer has got to be the new Mouze in my opinion.

Edit: Heh, almsot forgot to post about the topic.

Root is starting to really impress. They've built up their roster now, time to start delivering.

I could see 2 root members in the top five at WCS NA, and that'd be a good start. I wore the Root banner for quite some time, only switching to EG 'cause it looks like HuK needs it.

Best of luck to both parties!

It kindof gets old when everyone always just posts that annoying phrase, "where are the results..." when it comes to players, or teams. I understand that to a large degree the results are important, don't get me wrong. But I can make a list of popular and successful pro athletes that never won championships, and were never even the top of their sport or even the top 25%. The most popular player in the NFL at the moment is Tim Tebow and he isn't even going to start!

And my point is that when it comes to gaming(or any sport...) there is so much more to it than just winning when it comes to financial success in this day and age. If I were to create a team and I could get a player with no personality, that isn't marketable, nobody wants to watch his stream, and can't represent a sponsor but wins, or I could get someone with some charisma and enough skill to be relevant I'd take the 2nd. Now you need to work so that you don't drop off the map to like diamond league, but to act like only players winning GSL are worthy of being on teams or getting sponsors is naive and shows a lack of understanding of the business and sponsorship world.

I look at root and see a team that a lot of people enjoy following, enjoy cheering for. They almost seem like "the people's team." Maybe some of the players are controversial but better to be infamous than anonymous sometimes. I wish the team luck and I think they are putting together something pretty good. They might not have the team that large mainstream companies would sponsor but if I were a niche company, or someone a little more edgy or looking to get my name out in a different way in the gaming world I'd want to be attached to these guys if they continue building. And from there the bigger sponsors will hopefully come as the team develops.

Good luck. Hope this pickup works out.

So how long until he get's Destiny to help fundraise for a new account to change his name :p

I kid! This is interesting, I guess time will tell how much he has learned over the past year or so. he is a good player, and I think under ROOT he can come out a very strong player.

You have to give Catz credit, he is a shrewd team builder. He has a charming personality like Roti who he can present to sponsors, a viewer-generator like Destiny and now a troubled personality who needs redemption after a long road of disappointments who also has the highest chance of all the other Root guys of actually winning a major tournament. Everyone wins. And at least based on that last Major interview, the one where he was super sad that no team wants him and how he misses a team training regime, Major will have a pretty strong incentive to prove himself too. Win Win Win.

3 teams, same as Huk, and less than Naniwa, etc. etc. etc...

I'm glad he's in a team again. I don't know when will he be able to come back to Korea, but I hope he gets more results and puts ROOT's tag as high as possible.

Fun fact, Huk has been on more teams than Major (VT, Mil, Liquid, EG vs sixjax, x6, root) they are tied if you want to count root twice as he has joined twice


EDIT: In SC2 of course, idk about BW

I can't even remember how many posts I've made in threads where he joins a new team. Lost count. :|



3 teams, same as Huk, and less than Naniwa, etc. etc. etc...

I'm glad he's in a team again. I don't know when will he be able to come back to Korea, but I hope he gets more results and puts ROOT's tag as high as possible.


Fun fact, Huk has been on more teams than Major (VT, Mil, Liquid, EG vs sixjax, x6, root) they are tied if you want to count root twice as he has joined twice


EDIT: In SC2 of course, idk about BW

True, but Juan went Root -> sixjax -> x6 -> Root, so the number of changes is the same.

I'm still a Juan fan regardless of his team-switching because his play can be amazing.

I'll take that bet for sure! He's a really nice guy, easily top 3 foreign terran, and he's matured alot since early 2011. Don't be such a pessimist man!

I'm honestly surprised he decided to go with Major as his name and not something completely random.

Was really hoping a korean team would pick him up. Oh well still nice that he's on a team again, was kind of ridiculous being the only player in TSL without a tag lol. Hopefully they'll send him to every mlg :D.

I am sure Major would do well, now all I hope is he will stay for a bit longer and really committ to it.
He is a nice pickup even if he doesn't stay for long imo

I think this is a very fitting team for Major. He is probably the hardest hitter ROOT has right now, and is obviously a big investment for them. Hopefully Major can flourish and reach his true potential through ROOT's assistance.

I feel like he could do better than ROOT which seems to be populated more with "personalities" rather than serious, driven players. Which isn't to say that ROOT players arn't talented, because they are. It just seems like they prefer to grow their brand via paths other than tournement results. In any case, major looks great so far in the TSL, its awesome to have him back in the NA scene and I look forward to watching him play.

Ladder doens't make you a Top3 foreigner. Post some major tournament results and i'm good to go with that statement, but since then i can't remember any shiny moment from this player except his winning of the latin american invitational (but really what competition was there?).

Best of luck, though i don't expect him to stay long, but please (!!!) prove me wrong!

Played very well in TSL4 Qualifiers, beat HyuN in the first round, and (tournament results aside) anyone who knows anything about SC can tell he's extremely good just by watching his play.

I was watching the WCS Mexico and he clearly DESTROYED the tournament, why nobody in earth would ever pick him, now that he's matured enough to be in such a leading team like Root with good friends like Vibe...

I haven't heard anything stupid from him for a while so I assume he's matured.


If only things worked that way.

Tell me when the honeymoon is over. :3



So cynical. O wait, you're the majority on these forums XD I shouldn't be surprised.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me is the history moto your looking for! But I completely understand the reasoning, if i was in root position id pick up major too, good practice partner at worse, which is hard to find in NA!

I agree Root is quietly becoming a really good team~ They need Kiwi to return to his confident self again he was playing good but not playing to win at end and it was fucked up cause its like if kiwi would have won vs stephano hed have taken tourney in my mind but stephano took it and poll volt his sc2 career into an international legend!

Hard to say who's getting the better deal out of this.

Root getting a great player, who can be amazing, or Major getting a great new team.

By the way I thought he was practice partner for Woongjin, not Hite? ;o

Wow, been rooting for this move for awhile (har har).
This is a major pickup for the team (that one was just bad)

But in all honesty I'm very happy to see Major find a team that I think will fit him. When ROOT was first founded I expected Juan to be on the roster in the first few months, but alas it didn't happen. Glad to see him find a team that can also be his (not so little) starcraft family :D

gogo juan!

Look at all their past signings and try to tell me they are recruiting on player performance rather than fanbase/notoriety.

ROOT isn't able to pay salaries afaik so they need players that can support themselves.

wait what? which player have they signed that has a huge fanbase? You have the original ROOT guys (Catz, Drewbie, Slush, Kiwikaki, Fayth, Destiny)

Then they brought in Puck and Fitzy, who played a show match to get in. They brought in ViBe who is a damn good Zerg and won WCS USA shortly after joining ROOT. Also they just brought in MaSa who isn't fan favorite (yet at least) but is rather talented. TT1 also joined, but to say they brought him on for his fanbase, while people know who he is, he's not exactly popular. Major also isn't very popular, but rather incredibly skilled. So he definitely was recruited on performance.

The only player they brought in that was from fanbase is Rotterdam. So to say that ROOT is recruiting on fanbase/notoriety rather than player performance is a dumb statement. Especially when half their recruits were unknowns when they signed them.

Lol .. not ROOTPrincess or ROOTKitty? Well, on the plus side we get to read another thread that goes something like

"We know he changes teams a lot but we thought we'd give him a chance - he has amazing potential and is good at this game"

"Oh nice pick up! I hope he has figured out what he really wants"

"I hope he stays on this team for longer than the last one"

And then after a few months, we get to go through another thread like this again with a different team name.

Best of luck ROOT

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Why would you let him rejoin? As good as he is and as nice as he may act, I do not think he can stick to one clan. I do not mean that offensively, it's just him. Some people may not be made to do that.

Hello? It's pretty obvious that ROOT is recruiting NA players, which I like as a move. Too many smaller teams going out and hiring b-team koreans for little to no results, while ROOT is going for developing homegrown talent ^^

One of my best teachers once told me ‘History is there so that we don’t repeat the same mistakes of the past’ Today, I would like to tell my teacher to shut up.

Wait what? Are you saying you will not learn from your mistakes and now admitting you will make the same mistake again?
I doubt this was what you intended judging by the next line. But that doesn't mean your teacher was wrong. I do hope you will learn from past mistakes :x

I hope this will be a good fit, I've always felt that Major never reached his full potential in SC2, due to all the team switching and in general drama around his person.

Even though this looks to me to be a genuine congratulations post, I must say the irony contained within is hillarious

Well since ROOT has no sponsors, they can behave however they want for now, so MajOr might just stay here for a while.

I dunno why people are saying it's repeating the same mistake twice... I mean if he does leave they just don't have to pay him anymore, it just sucks. It's a win / win situation, with him being their ace until he leaves, because he will leave eventually (at least that's what i think)

@HornyHerring Rush order tees is their new sponsor -.-

I wonder how that works out for Destiny, being as own3d made a deal with him (offering more money than Twitch) and he still streams there.

its kind of true that the majority of ROOT's roster wasn't that talented @ SC2...with the exception of Vibe, TT1 and now MajOr so good pickup. Need kaki to become active again.

CatZ should've had Maj0r sign a contract with a buy-out clause so at least ROOT could make their money back when he leaves for greener pastures.

ROFL, you can't be fucking serious? Wow, what a huge insult to MajOr. Kid was a mechanical monster in BW, on pair with alot of koreans and in SC2 he has by far the best mechanics in the foreigner scene and better than alot of Code B/A koreans.

Don't be stupid just because you are blindly hating.

Tbh I don't think so and EG are my favorite team. Think maybe he and IdrA are about same level overall with Major being ahead atm but that can change.

Lol, I highly doubt it. He's right up there.

I wonder how long he'll last in root this time. Hopefully more than two months

Are you sure you know what "mechanics" are?

MajOr's mechanics are MONSTOROUS. They're Korean level. Also, he came into SC2 when the game was already shifting towards macro-based play, so he didn't have that "lazy" period that some other players had when people were 1-basing or doing silly shit and let their mechanics decay a bit.

Congratz to him and ROOT; Major has been one of my favourite foreigners to watch since SC:BW and I still think his potential is nearly limitless.

It's kinda sad that there will always be some bad connotations associated with his name and I'm still not convinced that he'll be staying in ROOT for good, but maybe he really matured - I hope so at least!

Stephano's mechanics are actually fairly bad for how good he is. BUT he makes it up with his ridiculous game sense and decision making. He seems to always be doing the right thing.

Sup dood welcome back to Root! I remember when he first joined back in the day know on really knew much about it. There were a couple games played with all of Root on skype talking and pretty much teaching Juan the ins and outs of the game. At the time he didn't know little things that we came to know like creep tumors and stuff like that. Over the last couple years he has improved and hopefully everything works out well this time around being on Root!

Good pickup for ROOT, but terrible decision for Major I fear. How you can go from practicing with TSL and aspiring for actual professional teams to joining a "top NA team" thats basically a bunch of streamers that act funny is kind of a questionable decision. I guess its good if there weren't options but I don't see how this will benefit him as a player or help his skills. Its a shame, because Major is widely considered to have the best mechanical skill and best potential of any Foreign Terran.

His past finally caught up with him I think. Seemed like he couldn't find a team after the TSL accident and this with ROOT can be a good way of showing everyone that he has matured alot from his stay in Korea and in the future a more heavy hitting team may don't feel like it is a risk to actually sign him.

He'll have to actually stick to a team for a year or so for that to happen.

I'd like to say this is nice, but I can't help but feel like it will only be trouble.

Major will eventually want to join a team that can offer him more, in which case he will leave, further hurting his reputation and future career choices. Root will just plain be pissed.

Good luck to the parties involved. Hope it turns out better than I expect.

CatZ if you read this, could you maybe give a little more insight in what way ROOT is able to support their players at the moment.
Obviously you guys aren't a team with a full management staff behind it etc, but are you able to send players to events and stuff like that or not?

Best of luck to Kitty and to ROOT. It's like all the pieces fall into place again. Lot of respect to CatZ and ROOT for believing in second chances and having faith in peoples ability to change.

CatZ if you read this, could you maybe give a little more insight in what way ROOT is able to support their players at the moment.
Obviously you guys aren't a team with a full management staff behind it etc, but are you able to send players to events and stuff like that or not?

the way I understand it is their sponsorship with twitch makes it so they can send their players to tournaments, but they cannot afford to give the players a salary at the moment. I could be completely wrong though...

ROOT actually has a pretty decent 5-man lineup for leagues such as IPL. Slush, TT1, Catz/Masa/Destiny/Drewbie, Vibe and then Major as ace. They could probably take down a bunch of teams right now.

Congratulations to MajOr for joining an amazing team. Juan seems a lot more mature and ready to take on the whole team role, and with his excellent Terran play, he should provide ROOT with a great practice partner.

Everyone deserves a second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth chance.

Seriously though I don't get the impression that Major has ever been a particularly malicious person and his negative reputation seems a little unfair. People make mistakes, not everyone knows how to act in the public eye, and people mature as well. I hope he finds great success.

which is kind of how this scene should be. This whole thing that has risen up with emailing the sponsors does nothing but hurt the scene. part of the draw for many people in sc2 is that it is more laid back and true to people unlike some large sports where you don't really see the personality of people anymore.

I actually liked Major being a "lone wolf". His ability to play at the top levels without being on a team is a great inspiration for players who might not be able to join a team for various reasons, even though they boast the skills necessary. Grats to him nonetheless, ROOT is looking stronger with each player.

If you don't have anything worthwhile to say why bother posting? MajOr has matured, he's always been a great talent, and if ROOT unanimously agrees to give him another shot who are you to laugh at it?

Seems like root is purposely trying to be disliked... Adding Destiny, Athene and now Major really doesn't help.
At least Major's very good at SC2 though. Root just got a lot stronger from that perspective considering they have a new best player.

Don't know too much about Major. Always thought that he seems to play very good games when he is at his best. Nice and well-composed builds. Unfortunately, he is mostly known for jumping teams and switching names. Let's hope that this changes now!

Many people said it here before me:
Major has supersolid mechanics and is probably the best foreigner Terran atm. Even if he doesn't stay that long, he's a good pickup for now. I personally want to see him in more offline events, don't know if ROOT is capable of making that possible.

Good luck to both, Major and ROOT!

A guy like that doesn't change overnight, don't expect different results despite how "serious" he may seem. Great player though I feel he should just get individual sponsorship.

Huge pickup for root, as long as Major keeps playing/behaving (^^) as he has in the last months.

With this I think Root becomes a lot more even with the well established teams.

Good luck in the new team nonetheless, Major.

Good pickup for ROOT, but terrible decision for Major I fear. How you can go from practicing with TSL and aspiring for actual professional teams to joining a "top NA team" thats basically a bunch of streamers that act funny is kind of a questionable decision. I guess its good if there weren't options but I don't see how this will benefit him as a player or help his skills. Its a shame, because Major is widely considered to have the best mechanical skill and best potential of any Foreign Terran.

Major left the TSL house a while ago. From my understanding it was TSL house to Mexico to Gom house and back to mexico for wcs. Or something along those lines.

I always loved juan. I know his past sucks, but regardless of the drama, he is a top foreign terran, and he can add value to any organization hands-down.

ROOT seems like the best house possible for Juan, so PLEASE JUAN, DONT LEAVE AGAIN!~

on the one hand i feel like a player should be able to leave teams if he wants and it doesn;t really seem like major has made all that many team changes on the other with the sort of team chemistry root is going for i think i'd be really bad if he just left on a whim. heres hoping he sticks around as root is my favorite team and it's always nice to see new players.


on that note any guesses to who the last player thats planned to be announced is? i am going to guess daisuki or gix just becuase diasuki doesn;t seem to have a team and got second in wsc usa. root seems to be picking up alot of players that have been competive in tournaments but not actually won anything too significant and also seems to be focusing on north american talent. so just feels like diasuki fits assuming he wants a team since i know he has a personal sponsership.

gix is a good player as well and was on the same team as slush and kiwikaki when on reign and root has really likes to have friends on the team so they might pick him up.

on the one hand i feel like a player should be able to leave teams if he wants and it doesn;t really seem like major has made all that many team changes on the other with the sort of team chemistry root is going for i think i'd be really bad if he just left on a whim. heres hoping he sticks around as root is my favorite team and it's always nice to see new players.


on that note any guesses to who the last player thats planned to be announced is? i am going to guess daisuki or gix just becuase diasuki doesn;t seem to have a team and got second in wsc usa. root seems to be picking up alot of players that have been competive in tournaments but not actually won anything too significant and also seems to be focusing on north american talent. so just feels like diasuki fits assuming he wants a team since i know he has a personal sponsership.

gix is a good player as well and was on the same team as slush and kiwikaki when on reign and root has really likes to have friends on the team so they might pick him up.






Not to be a dick but you really need more commas for people to actually read what you wrote.

On your point......well it's not about how often he changes team but rather how long did he stay with each......which is not very long.

he needs to practice at korea, team or no team if he wants to be the best. This guys personality is like a naniwa on steroids but he is definitely one of the better non-Korean Terrans ( besides Thorzain, most of them get rolled over by koreans )

MajOr has the talent and dedication to go far in this prestigious sport, all he needs to do is buckle down and practice.
With ROOT behind him, I believe he can accomplish this goal.
With that said I ROOT for ROOT.

Here's hoping he decides to lay roots (pun unintended) in a team and develop with them. He has a lot of bad blood in teams he's left for attractive salaries--teams that sent him to events, trained him, spent a lot of man hours working out sponsor gear logistics. ROOT may be his time of realization that he's lucky to find another team that will take him in, and a good opportunity for behavior change. If he starts afresh training hard and sticking with a single team for a while, not breaking contracts, he'll do just fine.

VERY good pickup, major is insanely good and way underrated. Can hold his own against almost anyone.

He is an obvious talent, and I respect Roots decision to give the guy another shot. For any of you that follow the NFL, this seems to be somewhat paralleled by Terrell Owens with the Seahawks right now. Talented player with something to add, but has to show he is for the team not for himself, and definitely on a last chance with Root at this point.

I hope it works out fellas!

meh i dont know why anyone would pick him up tbh.

Everyone knows that as soon as he wins something, or shows some noteworthy results, he is just going to jump ship as fast as possible for anyone who will give him more money.

It has ALWAYS been the same story for Major. Everyone knows he is really good, everyone knows he is one of the best foreigners in SC2 atm. But everyone also knows that there is no point in trying to help him, because after he uses you he will jump ship as soon as he finds someone willing to give him more. he has 0 loyalty/respect for any organizations and that is why most teams refuse to pick him up, even though he is one of the best players on the scene.

at this point he would have joined ANY team that offered to support him financially, and int he future he will just quit another team and root will have wasted all of their time/energy/money supporting him

big fan of root, but i think picking up major, despite his talent, is a terrible idea.

Juan doesnt care about money. It's about playing in Korea. It's always been about playing in Korea. The guy is one of most humble and nice gamers I've ever been around. Hard headed a little, but money hungry is the last thing Juan is.

Risky pickup given his past. As Artosis said a while ago - he does have a lot of talent... Could this be the opportunity he needs o_O? Hope so.

Maybe we'll see some more prominent tourney results from him through this deal?... Hope it all works out for everyone in the end.

"Since then he’s posted big tournament wins". Not to be cynical or anything, but what big tournament wins? Am I missing something? All I find on his TLPD page are minor tournaments, often 5-7 games against nonames.

Either way gz to MajOr on getting back into the ROOT family.

That is great news for ROOT, assuming they can ''tame'' him, of course. MajOr is an exceptional player, will be looking forward to some good games from him.

I played in a BW team in just under a year, during that time Major joined and left the team at three different occasions.

However, he is a good player and I really hope that he has left that kind of behavior behind him. Best of luck to both parties.

given the opportunity, I do think he can qualify for a GSL. He, TLO, and Ret have that talent as foreigners. Stephano would be there too of course(if he wanted to be).
