wow that's really sad, he was so excited to go there. I hope he's going to crush some foreign tournaments at list.

Sad isn't that he may left his team, true sad thing is if he doesn't find a new team after. Journeys end while others begin. Glhf Major

yup...just goes to show real life is not a fairy tale, but at least he had some experience there before being cut. I seriously doubt he can continue on as a progamer though, he just doesn't seem to be capable of producing results. Good luck to him in his future endeavours

Sad story, but doesn't the facts imply he has been dropped cause of the cuts and not left by his own decision? No offense..

I agree; many people have talked about his potential, but Major hasn't really shown many good results (either in WoL or HotS, iirc), and there have been many other foreign Terrans who have consistently been better. Potential doesn't mean anything if it never gets unlocked and utilized effectively.

That being said, I think it's great he got this opportunity, and I hope he can use this experience to get better in the future. I wonder what team he'll bounce to next.



he was top5 in house ranking . how is that low ?

i hope EG picks him up.


Top 5... for Team 8, right? And even if he held a top five position, surely there were many more players who saw at least a little more tournament time than he did.

EDIT: I think EG picking him up would be a bit unnecessary, and- at best- redundant... Thorzain and DeMuslim are both better Terran foreigners, and Alive is obviously better too. (I don't know how Major compares to Xenocider; I don't know much about Xeno.)


when was last time we saw demuslim and thorzain getting into a major tournament ro4 ? y . they are not better terran foreigners . and i think major would be a great pick for pro league .

This sounds quite troubling. The pay wasn't anything special for the players either.

If KeSPA struggles to pay that amount.... :/

They've already picked up at least 1 new player for next season though, probably more at end of season


Forgot about that... and a very good pick-up it was for Team 8. Still though, cutting 4 players is never a good sign :/

As much as i like Thorzain, he hasn't performed up to scratch for a year now. His last success was DH Stockholm which was about a year ago - He didn't even get in any top16 since then aside from WCS Sweden.

DeMuslim is on an even longer dry spell.

That said, it's sad Major had to leave. He never even got the chance to play except in that one 'joke' round of PL.
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Team 8 somewhat subsidised by Kespa? They lack the big name sponsors of the other teams, even a relative noob can see that looking in.

Yes, I think the TL;DR version was that the sponsors for one of the Kespa teams withdrew and the team was basically dead, but that left Proleague with 7 teams, which would have wrecked havoc on the format.

Kespa solved the problem by stepping in, grabbing up an assortment of players (mostly from the dead team but I think there were exceptions), and putting them together as "Team 8".

On the "card" for Team 8 during the "mindmindmind" intro for proleague, it says "Kespa's Team 8".

Not one team, but three
