I feel kinda embarrassed that somebody like him will representing all of the foreigners for us. He is known for his sour attitude and flakiness. Also I cannot remember the last time he was a highlight in a premier tournament either. Then yet again the good foreigners like a Naniwa or a Staphano are already signed. 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.



MajOr hasn't been in any area to really show huge results... He always does well in everything he does. He almost never flat out loses. He's known for being extremely talented and in need of a big break.
He qualified for everything he participated in recently, but was unable to attend due to sickness. He joined and left spotty teams that weren't helpful to him at all. ROOT was cool, but nobody from ROOT is going to be "the next huge thing".
You have the absolute wrong idea of MajOr and it's sad that you're even expressing your opinions as if they represent the majority of foreigners.
He was BM in BW, and he still does things his way and messes around a bit, but when it comes to the game, he has a passion for being AWESOME. He doesn't care about winning or about money, he cares about playing at the highest level possible.

SOOOOO stoked for him. I remember him talking about wanting to join a Korean team. Said it was his dream. At the time I was thinging to myself: "You deserve it. You need it. Maj0r Fighting!" and now it has come true. So happy for him, I am. #yoda

I bet he will lose 50 lbs one year from now eating kimchi over there, which is a good thing, probably one of the reasons he always wanted to move to Korea.

Saying that he was bad manner in brood is an extremely inaccurate statement. I will guide you to my post on page 21 on this thread. There I have linked his liquidpedia which have multiple cases of his extremely poor attitude/morals. Also above my post on page 21 is another post that furthers the point I made. So by saying he was only Bad manner in Brood War is not right by a long shot. If you like it or not being a foreigner in a Korean tournament you are going to represent the rest of the demographic. Take the early GSL's where Jinro was at his best. Next thing that comes to mind is Huk in his Code S run followed up by Naniwa. Many people viewed those individuals as the foreigner hope or representative.

MajOr certainly does have kind of a rough reputation from the past, but over the past few months he really seems to have matured. He was a good teammate to the ROOT guys, he made appearances on SoTG, and DeMuslim had him on his stream, and in each of these cases he came across as more mature, knowledgeable about Starcraft, and a funny genial guy. The TSL guys seemed to really like him a lot as well when he was in Korea. Whenever he plays Hyun they always talk with each other when the game starts, and it's clear Hyun likes/respects MajOr.

Maybe you're right and he's bad to core or can never make up for his past mistakes, but the guy started his career when he was around 16 years old. I like to think people can change/grow up, and from what I've seen of MajOr recently he deserves a chance to represent foreigners and participate in this tournament. He doesn't even need to participate either - he was clearly a valued practice partner on TSL, and he may well work in this function for Team 8.

His reputation has been blown way out of proportion, as has been the case for many other people as well. If you really want to go digging into how people behaved and what they were saying during the Brood War days, I don't think you'll find many players that will come out clean, especially by some of the ridiculous standards people hold them up to these days.

I don't think that there will be many other foreigners who will follow MajOr onto KeSPA teams. KeSPA teams are only going to sign a player who is as talented as MajOr is and almost every foreigner of his skill already has a contract with a big team. Joining a Korean team would be a big risk for any of those players because they would be delving into a completely new environment where they don't speak the language. Meanwhile, they have a similar salary that is not nearly as dependent on results as it would be on a KeSPA team. The real difference is that most top tier foreigners don't have the same drive and motivation as MajOr. This is MajOr's dream, what he's been working for since before StarCraft 2.

But all that being said, I hope the best for Juan. Maybe he'll do better with a Korean team since they won't be able to understand whatever he's saying and for the most part only know him for his skill and dedication.
