The two players might not be the most relevant players in the foreign scene - though didn't Major put up some awesome performance in the ATC recently? - but I think they are still amongst the best Terran players on NA. Could be wrong though, I rarely follow the NA scene tbh.
edit: In fact, aligulac lists Major as the top NA Terran!
MajOr 4-killed mouz, which is one of the worst memories as a mouz-fan since the TL writers robbed mouz of the "best-foreign-team"-award in 2011, which should have belonged to them.
Atm. MajOr is better than Fenix, but historically Fenix has more achieved (winning IEM american championship, destroying oGs in GSTL). Them arguing about this should´nt make a drama, there are tons of conversations like this n twitter every month.

Don't worry, that award definitely goes to mouz this year. No other team has a foreign lineup as strong as them.
It's definitely inappropriate to bash other players like this. I guess the "mid" players may be happy that they forced Fenix into frustration and semi-retirement.

Yep. Same was true 2011 (with MaNa/T-Zain/Hasu/Morrow). And then they won all the teamleagues. And then the award did go to EG/TL. And then the TL-writers robbed MaNa of the best foreign toss award and gave it to Naniwa for making GSL ro8, while MaNa won ESWC and DH... TL writers are biased as shit against mouz.
The thing about is MajOr is that he said himself that he knows there are plenty of other players way better than him, so he doesn't go over there talking like if he is so great, but Fenix in his "retirement" marked himself as a Top player while naming "Mid" level on MajOr and others...
Anyway, neither on LA Fenix obtained a really decent fanbase, his few sponsors told him to rise the number or show results, he tried to couch for 30 U$S per hour and a minimum of 4 classes per month was the deal, so he could make some money, but it didn't work
So leaving because lack of results and sponsors, as well fans, is not something to go and trash talk like he was the best player on the world, neither on LA, neither on his own country already now.

Don't want to be nitpicking, but I don't think you know what "neither" means, or maybe I have been missing some hidden meaning?

His full name is Jian Carlo "Fenix" Morayra Alejo. He saw some success in the GSTL and early days of SC2, and was a prominent foreigner in the BW scene.
Funny to see this, in Copa America he was crying unbalanced game against a player, Darkness or something, next match we see a Terran player take out Darkness, and now he retires :S, too bad he is arrogant as usual
Retiring and shitting on other players that actually have some results is a no-no. i really wonder why someone like him receives little to no flak for behaving from the sc2 community while others do. sad story.
