cut the crap man, the guy is a rookie and as it is stated in the announcement: "On Woongjin Stars, Impact was overshadowed by Soulkey and ZerO, despite his talent"

Woongjin have incredible zerg players and with that rooster, the rookie hardly would have a chance in the main team.


Mekia was overshadowed by a chicken?

Kappa

Despite the typo, this guy's argument is pretty solid. Everyone who follows PL knows that Mekia was a pretty good zerg player. He wasn't really "overshadowed" by SoulKey and ZerO though. SoulKey, more so than ZerO, but ZerO also was a lot better than Mekia.

It was known where Mekia stood in WJS. Saying that the rookie wasn't being given a shot in WJ is not fair to the players that were better than Mekia.
Saying that Mekia has a better shot joining a foreigner team with players who aren't so top notch (yes they are good, but they aren't WJS....) that can also give him a chance at foreign competitions is a legitimate statement though.

Look, you're arguing with a quote from the WJS coach. That's a little silly. I'd also like to remind you that we are not a "foreigner" team, Axiom has always been a Korean team.

Do we know when exactly the tradelock ends? It says October 2013, but not when.

For the next thirteen months, the Korean eSports Association (KeSPA) and eSports Federation cannot transfer players to each other. This trade lock period will last until October 2013.

On Wednesday, August 8th, KeSPA, a governing organization over Proleague, and eSports Fed., which participate in GSTL, came to an official agreement on the matter of player transfers.

Both parties restated their goal on joint development of the e-sports scene and signed an agreement on player transfers and partnerships to protect both players and the leagues. They stated that the agreement will allow eSports Federation to aquire new sponsors and be self-sustainable, while KeSPA players switching to StarCraft 2 can become competitive in the long run.

I think it would be around Oct 8.

Axiom probably pays better and provides more opportunities(and more freedom) considering he wasn't a top player in WJS' roster.

this. Congrats to Impact! He unfortunately lost against Fantasy recently but with Axiom, I think he'll be able to travel around and learn more as he practices SCII.

Nice to see Axiom picking up a Zerg. And working with Kespa on the pick up from Woongjin. Nice.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Yeah that was unfortunate, but hey it's Fantasy, there are worse players to lose to and it's not like it wasn't close. He can now focus entirely on performance in team leagues for the rest of the year.

Awesome! Glad that he has a chance to shine on a team.
Also happy to see Axiom pick up another player. It's been awhile since they last got a new player.
