-- Props to drewbie for the best farewell message:

At first I was really sad that Juan is leaving ROOT. But then I thought about it, and I am 'MaJoR'ly proud of ROOT's 'Princess'. Juan is making his dream happen and I'm sure he will become a 'GosITerran' in Korea. It may be cold and 'WinDy' but he will be working his ass off to be one of the best 'Terran's in the world. He was just a 'Kitty' when he joined ROOT, but he grew into a star like 'Britney' and I will always have that 'Memory'. He's not the Mexican Korea deserves, but he is damn sure the Mexican that Korea is going to get. I want to wish Juan the best of luck in Korea and I hope that he has a great time.

Nice, good job Princess. Team 8 got really through some changes; from "Team Jaedong & Baby" to "Team Baby" and now to "Team Juanito and Baby".
An ace match vs Bogus would be relly cool to see! But which of his nicknames (Major, Terran, Princess, Windy, Anna Prosser etc...) will he use?

Are you kidding me, of course this will open the foreigner market. Many foreigners simply lack the know how on other servers and with proper training can be on the world stages in no time. Very happy for Major.

Yes! Go Major! Hell, it's possible we might even see him in PL in the near future, T8 doesn't exactly have the deepest roster atm. Either way, good luck!

The problem with joining team 8 is that Baby and Speed are miles ahead of him and he has to practise his ass of if he wants to make it in to Proleague unless the coach wants to send 3 terrans in a match and i don't know if thats doable on the curent maps . Otherwise i could see him send over Terminator and Alone if he does better then them in practice .

There are a lot of posts in here saying MajOr's not that good, or asking why would a KeSPA team spend money on him. I feel like people have forgotten that MajOr was essentially one of TSL's top practice players while he was living in that house. He and Hyun were buddies and played together a ton right before Hyun really broke out as a top player. He was clearly well respected by the TSL players and that definitely means a lot in terms of his value as a teammate - regardless of his results and role on Team 8.

Kinda think they wanted him as a practice partner and we wont even see him in an actual match. Also he probably only gets to stay at the house for free and doesn't receive any money (considering Team 8 is known to be a poor team without any major sponsor) If this was his dream i guess then its fine for him but otherwise i would say he gets the short end.

so since pretty much all his names are stolen from lesser-known korean pros i wonder which one he's going to use.
