So with that kind of thinking there is not much to pick from. Although it is good that Kespa is now opening its doors to the rest of the world. I think this might be a PR play rather than accepting actual talent. My thoughts exactly. | ||

So with that kind of thinking there is not much to pick from. Although it is good that Kespa is now opening its doors to the rest of the world. I think this might be a PR play rather than accepting actual talent. He's not representing anybody other than himself (and now his new team). As for all the other good foreigners, how many do you think would accept the living conditions and daily schedules of a Kespa team and give up the comfort and benefits of the NA/EU scene? Maybe Naniwa, I can't think of anybody else that would. And I'm sure there are many who would condescendingly say that being represented by Naniwa is also "embarrassing". Kespa teams' doors have always been open to everyone, including foreigners, so this isn't anything new. It's just that many foreigners have historically preferred leaving through those doors than coming in and trying to compete. | ||

Maybe Fenix but that is all who stand out to me. Also for the StarLeague he faced some medicore players as well and in Qualifier #6 all he had to face is Welmu in which he lost. Qualifier #10 was a joke as all he had to play was Lucifron,Vibe,Fraer. http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/leagues/1474_WWG_Open Only player in that pool that was doing well at the time was ThorZain. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012_StarCraft_II_World_Championship_Series/North_America/Nationals/Mexico Mexico Nationals outside of Major and Killer who else is really recognized from that side of the world? http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012_StarCraft_II_World_Championship_Series/North_America/Finals Now this is the only tournament that I will say he did play well in this. lol User was temp banned for this post. | ||

I doubt this is the end of the soap opera that is Major's sc2 foreign scene antics, but I hope it's a very long and prosperous break in them. Congrats Major, and congrats team 8  | ||

Congrats Major, and congrats team 8 No way he can be ACE, forget about other players, Baby is far better than him. And other players on Team 8 is actually pretty good, not like most people think. If he gets sent out once every week, that will be a good success for him. | ||

Major has evolved so much since the first time I saw him in TSL2, it's amazing to see the kind of man he's become. And now Artosis should start his series again! | ||

Congrats Major, and congrats team 8 BaBy and Jaehoon are better than him, maybe Speed too. I don't think MajOr can replace BaBy as the ace of T8.

From  MajOr's Liquipedia page:The well-known commentator Artosis stated that he was the next foreign player in line to move to Korea just before the release of StarCraft II. Being part of the GoSI clan, as, for example, the Woongjin Stars A-teamer Flying and playing in tryout matches against eSTRO-players confirm this impression. However, he was also known for frequently switching teams and said to suffer from a lack of respect and bad manner. [...] His potential was quickly realized and he was picked up by the team ROOT Gaming. However, due to disputes purportedly surrounding funding and maturity, he and ROOT Gaming parted ways after a period of roughly two months. [...] He was caught using another player's account to compete in Dox's SEA tournament, which was restricted only to those with SEA citizenship. MajOr used the account of an SEA diamond-level player named "sayfT", but this aroused the suspicions of mOOnGlaDe who was casting his tournament matches -- noticing the Terran's unusually high-level play that was above and beyond the supposed diamond level of the account. "sayFT" continued to deny accusations of smurfing, but evidence was found on MajOr's own stream. This scandal has since created more problems for MajOr's reputation. [...] On September 2nd 2011, MajOr was released from Sixjax. Team manager Evoli announced the release on September 4th, citing MajOr's continued poor behavior and lack of professionalism despite repeated warnings. In response to this, MajOr stated that Sixjax failed to comply with the promise to sponsor a stay in Korea, even after he himself had arranged one with team New Star HoSeo, which, along with not sending any team players to the 2011 MLG Raleigh, led him to quit the team. This led to another statement from the team, claiming that they had indeed made plans to send MajOr to Korea, but reconsidered after he lied to management about not wearing the official team jersey at 2011 MLG Anaheim, and having bad conduct with wbc after their match. Also, they claim that he swore against a fellow teammate dde in a streamed online tournament in the course of several games. Sources are on the Liquipedia page. There you have some facts aside from tournament results. | ||

Ah sure thing. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/MajOr Paragraph 1 under Wings Of Liberty topic. Unless you are calling people who wrote this liquidpedia liars, I do think there has been enough "accidents". Also even when SixJax was formed Artosis comments on his behaviorally habits being extremely poor. So it is widely known that he lacks maturity and what it takes to have a professional attitude. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=244885 There is a link to where he was smurfing in a tourney and trying to cheat the system. So I would stretch it far enough to say he is even willing to break the rules in order to seek his own personal goals. He is a very shady, and a disrespectful character to have within the SC2 Pro scene. About the comment about Kespa opening its doors to foreigners that is true. My point is that there have been a very small amount of foreigners that they have accepted. So receiving the chance or opportunity to represent all the foreigners is huge but its a shame that we got someone who acts in manners. He was proven to smurf tournies,disrespect players, and in general be a bad character. Just hope that he does not ruin the image of foreigners all together as it is like finding a needle in a haystack getting into Kespa. | ||
