Yeah. Hopefully e-sports will eventually become as big in the US and Europe as popular conventional sports are, such as baseball and American football (in the US) and soccer (in europe). Then there would be more of a market to support more of the great players that we have.

This sucks Major seemed to really like being on T8 sad to see him go , maybe he'll be able to start streaming more now though.

sad to see him go he really did not get an opportunity to play in pro league really. He played one game and that's it, guess he is going back to root.

Not surprised to see him go. He had very poor performance overall. It is hard to put him in the lineup for Proleague when your team is fighting to not be last the entire season. They had no choice but to play their best, and despite how much foreigners hoped for his success, he wasn't one of them. Hopefully he will perform better in WCS America this year, since he won't be able to complain about the lag.

Why? I'd love to see majOr kicking ass in Korea and following his dream as much as anyone else, but let's be real. EGTL doesn't need to sign any more marginal players, they've got more than enough of those as it is. They need players who can win games vs KeSPA players...



+ they wont sign anymore foreigners thats for sure

That's not going to happen lmao and I wouldn't over emphasis T8's budget. As for the players on T8.. there's just not enough there and as far as support goes when it comes to the rest of the world. There are only a handful of teams that are doing well. ;/

The team is preparing to disband like many people predicted. KeSPA won't keep them on life-support much longer.

I highly highly highly doubt that. If you look at a time spane that inclused people like majors as active players, sure it won't happen. But long-term esports will definetly get on that level, if not bigger.

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.)


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.


Demuslim is probably the best foreigner at the moment. However, he isn't participating in any major tournaments really so had had not have a lot of opportunities to demonstrate his skills.

Thorzain though is something completely else, I would argue that Major is a level above him, and Major is probably the second best foreign terran (next to Demuslim).

EDIT: Forgot about lucifron. He is probably up there with Major and Demuslim.

About which time spane do we speak here ? I don't think that E-Sports can mess with Soccer in like 20 years, probably 40-50 years, but until then, no way imho

lol? Demuslim better than Sjow, better than TLO, the guy who beat Squirtle, Lucifron, Life, Stephano (the guy who got 2nd in WCS EU and took a game off MVP). He isn't participating in big tournaments because he sucks too much to get in them lol

he stayed on a kespa team just about as long as any other foreigner managed to do. the difference is he would have stayed longer had he been given the choice.
