Above all else, I'm glad that ROOT had the courtesy to put in that exception clause into their contract with Major. They knew that his dream was to join a KeSPA team and don't even care about the other contractual nonsense. That's a meaning of the word team outside of norm. They're doing things for the greater good of the specific player, not specifically the team.

Good job MajOr! Become the best, like no one ever was. To play in Korea is your real test, to pwn noobs is your cause.

... But in Korean Starcraft, noob pwns you.

I'm surprised T8 would acquire foreign gamers but I guess it makes sense that they want to try and get some more fans given that they lost two big stars.

Come on, let T8_Parting come true, then SKT and KT will tremble.

Wow, hopefully he does well on Team 8 and he can finally settle in Korea. Can't wait to hopefully see him in Proleague!

They're sort of desperate at the moment because they don't really have many players to fall back on to begin with. If Juan was going to join any team in the first place people would look towards BoxeR's open promotion, like he did with SlayerS and Team 8. I really don't see any interest coming from any other KeSPA party.

From my experiences dining in American restaurants, Juan will be a much better dishwasher than IdrA and Parting.

That translated interview is great. MajOr's history is quite interesting - I never would've guessed he was an excellent fooball/soccer player, it's a shame his knee blew out.

Note on the interview translation: the soccer player's nick name is "Chicharito" (small green pea). He currently plays for Manchester United.

Congrats MajOR!!! All the best!

Also it's not impossible territory. Idra was part of CJ Entus. The question is: will MajOR get stuck on the B-team? That would royally suck. Hope that's not the case though.

Grats to you, Major! Looking forward to seeing you potentially match up against Thorzain in SPL for some epic foreigner duel action!

Good! Finally MajOr joined a KeSPA team. Too bad it was KeSPA's Team 8... Hope they get more popular and get some big name sponsors.
I really didn't think that Team 8 would be successful, especially with Jaedong leaving like a pansy -_- (I'm a huge JD fan), but they've been getting stronger.
Go MajOr! Go eSports!
