Does he think he can make the big bucks there, and not with a foreign team? Or did he fail with foreign teams? Really hope he goes to STX/Khan/T8. STX hasn't been in as much trouble recently, but they always get the short end of the stick  KeSPA teams are the only organizations in the world able to offer the lucrative six-figure salaries that players dream of acquiring. Not only to mention, he's at the peak of his career achievement-wise, winning both WCG and WCS. | ||

KeSPA saw that, dove on him, and outgunned StarTale in the $$$ department. it's clear that no foreign team has KeSPA money (except EG, and they already spent their money on JD), so if PartinG wants the money, this was the right pick. You could argue it would have been been +EV to join a foreign team that would send him around the world and try to make foreign tourney money, but people typically pick guaranteed money if it comes down to a decision like that | ||

It should go to whoever has the lowest ranking at the time of the 'draw' (so Samsung in this case). Also worth mentioning is that KT already has a ex-SlayerS Terran on their roster so it's nothing they have done to just get PartinG. | ||

This could be the Last time such a player of his calibur is free agent for so long. Truly the souL of Protoss, with a lot of Innovation.lol Hoping for SKT | ||
