When he left to foreign tournaments, Revival was send for ace in teamleagues is what he meant I think.

With Inori switching to LoL and Revival leaving, it's time for Coach Lee to look for talent I feel.
Revival is a great great player, but it's hard for him to be more than " TSL Zerg +1" even if his ZvZ sniping is quite famous.

I feel he can get quite more popularity in a foreign team.

How come people don't expect stuff like this?

Revival can potentially be given an opportunity to travel the world and win easy (easier) money, rather than share a packed pro-house in some flat in Seoul with another 10 Koreans all crammed up. Makes sense to me.

You think they arent jealous of Puma in that amazing EG house in Arizona or ForGG travelling in France?

If I were a pro gamer, I would rather be good than to live in a fancy house.


dont kid yourself

player A works 6h/day and gets ~3k/month total
player B works 10h/day and gets 2k/month total

and you want to be player B?

yes i pulled numbers out of my ass :p


I'll do a slightly more accurate number crunching for you

Player A works 10 hours a day and gets 0 a month total (esf player)
Player B works 8 hours a day and gets 500 a month total ( Korean player on foreign team)


Player A Get his entire expenses covered for him. He doesn't have to worry about anything but playing and being his best. He lives with his friends and gets to have fun in his free time with his friends.

Player B gets 500 a month, works almost the same hours but lives with his family, and doesn't get much time to see his friends, since he has to travel across the city to see them. He also has to listen to his family complain about his career and try to force him into a career that is more "proper" and makes more money.

Player A improves rapidly and always is up to date with the current meta game, and has people whom he can bounce ideas and practice with.

Player B doesn't have many practice partners, and is unable to bounce ideas off of anyone.

Player A has a good chance of mkaing it into Code A, which although not a lot of money, he can make a lot if he improves and does well.

Player B has very little chance of doing well in or ourside Korea, since the competition is so swamped in foreign compeitions that being a Code A level player isn't going to get you very far.

That is a lot more accurate than your tbh. Although Player B will benefit in the short term, in the long term he likely won't make as much money. Someone like revival though won't do well, since he isn't a top tier player, although he is extremely good, he has a wealth of competition.


I would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that in SC2 the difference in skill can be extremely small in addition to how easy it is for a less-skilled player to take games off a higher-skilled. Your explanation worked in Brood War...


Meh, when you look at players like taeja or hero who have so much raw skill, the lack of practice partners really shows when they play in the gsl

didn't stop them from getting multiple top4/top8 this year, which is quite a lot better than most progamers on a team haha


Consider the fact that HerO Was in the Ogs house until it closed down, which was back in Feburary, iirc HerO did have some stuggles for a time where he wasn't doing so hot in some matchups. Recently he has changed that and gotten back into shape.

Taeja on the otherhand never lived in a teamhouse and had the personal motivation to acheive what he could.

My prime examples in terms of player leaving teamhouses only to end up falling in skill and not being able to acheive a lot would be Supernova, JYP, Puma, Zenio, and MMA

I have to agree with all of that, I believe that he'll find more success in one of the foreigner teams, I hope that he'll become better and that we'll one day see him do some great things, been following him for a while now, can't wait to see him get into a new team

Huh, sounds a bit weird, especially his reasoning that he wants to go to foreign events. He was quite often at foreign events, more so than some other team's aces I believe. And TSL is a team pretty famous for building talent, so there goes that argument as well. But I can't blame him, after all he was his team's 4th best Zerg and his prime reason probably is money, which is valid even though Korean pros are usually too shy to say so.

"being too comfortable" "wanting a fresh start" "wanting to challenge myself" are all code for not making enough money and wanting to join a foreign team. It's a nice way of saying it, and I'm sure there's always an element of truth to what they're saying, but it boils down to the same thing. The player always wants to/ends up joining a foreign team.

So many players say that stuff its kinda easy to figure out.

What Im really wondering is how some korean teams get hold of players like mkp, drg and jjakji.

A big mystery

Often it seems as if Korean players break from team houses to play on their own, the next step is being picked up by a foreign team. Think this will happen again.

I agree with this. Well put.

Think it is because they are the star players on their teams.

Seems weird that a zerg player would leave a team with arguably the best zerg lineup.
Every TSL transfer confuses me, they have gained and lost some truly skilled players.
