I think Moon wasn't really trying at SC2...
Every time he applied himself, he was awesome. He's had split focus recently, and that's why he hasn't been winning anything. He hasn't even been playing anything recently.....

Fnatic throws Moon away because they want to hire someone who's more in the now, but Moon will probably become better than their future pickup (if he decides to apply all his efforts)

The way fnatic have worded this is sickening. Moon is an esports legend, the least you could do is fire him gracefully. If you never followed WCIII, it's difficult to explain just what Moon is capable of. His decision-making and micro was godlike. I think he'll take a very long time to fully transition to SCII, but when he does, things are gonna get real ugly.

That's incredibly depressing....even more-so that they even included "results" in the announcement, instead of leaving it out altogether. Hope he finds a new team, and doesn't retire! Moon Fighting! (Played some amazing WC3 games @ WCG).

Seriously fuck fnatic. What a dick statement. I am going to boycott all their sponsors and write to them telling them why also. Hope they drop fnatic, after all its not like fnatc has any results either.

Fnatic's sc2 team no longer has anyone on their team I find interesting to watch..guess that makes watching GSTL easier in the future! Hope Moon gets an epic new team if he is looking for one =) GL to Moon in the future =D

Fnatics seems to have a history of being totally unprofessional with the way they are dismissing players. No other company on the planet publicly disses the people who are getting fired. That is just flat out poor business practice.

Moon should have left Fnatic a long time ago. It's just not a good team. I don't have anything against the players on that roster, but it's not like Moon was practicing with tier 1 GSL players within his team. Alive and Oz, the other 2 Koreans currently on that team, are decent players but they can't do anything to really push Moon. I feel like the same thing was the case for other former Fnatic players--Byul, LucifroN, and Sen are all better since leaving Fnatic.

I just don't think that team is good for fostering SC2 players. Maybe it's not Coaching staff's fault...but there definitely is something wrong with Fnatic's SC2 division, and that problem is that it's a lot of Code A-level players and lower, without some higher-tier players to drive the Code A-level guys to success. And that is definitely on the management. They're knee-deep in mediocrity, and it's not because the players on the roster are bad; it's because the team isn't doing enough to help them reach their potential. And that has a snowballing effect, because what kind of tier 1 pros want to join Fnatic? Would you or I want to join that team and watch our ability stagnate for a year or two? It's not fair to the players.

I completely agree with what Nightend said about Moon in his "Grilled" video interview a couple of months ago: Moon has the speed and the skill to be as utterly dominant as he was in Warcraft 3, but it's really going to be up to Moon if that's going to happen. Maybe he doesn't want to work as hard as he did in Warcraft 3. He's spent so much of his life practicing and practicing and practicing RTS games, and maybe he just doesn't want to do that again for SC2. It would be awesome for all of us viewers if he does get that kind of drive again, but I wouldn't blame him for not having it. The hours he put in for training in Warcraft 3--they were just outrageous.

That's so sad, I love watching Moon. In my opinion he has the most known baneling mine misclick, and also greatest baneling mine play. Hope he'll at least stay in SC2 and get a new team soon! Good luck Moon!

...So this is a little overbearing... Seriously? This is one of the reasons that there are so many problems, over reactions like this. We bitch all the time about how sick we are of silly, copy/paste statements from players and teams... then this happens.

if moon´s salary(10k/month) was anything near what he made in WeMadeFox, it would been silly to keep him in fnatic. Let´s hope he can find motivation for sc2 again.

Despite me being a fan of Fnatic Gaming I have to admit the article they wrote is pretty half ass'd. Wherever Moon goes though I wish him the best of luck.
