Acer Rain may happen, if Acer is looking for someone to replace INnoVation.
Some said Acer PartinG but I don't think PartinG can meet Acer's very high expectation. Look at what Acer accomplished in the latest two years. They sponsored 3 ATC and won 2 of them, they performed very actively to attract community attentions (just like Waxangel said, F*** Acer. :D), and they successfully replaced EG to become Liquid's new rivalry and one of the best foreign teams in the world. It makes me feel that what Acer desires is to become another TL, an influential leader, not just a regular team. Losing INnoVation will not make them give up that ambition.
And by far Rain is the perfect candidate for Acer. Very stable for a long time, very solid in team league, the favorite in any top-tier tournament, and has great reputation and fan base in the foreign community. Also he has the potential to be a good leader, which will also be important when considering that MMA has to retire the next year.

Fantasy without SKT... It's like seeing Flash without KT. Or Jaedong without Oz!
Exactly!

I'm pretty sure that average KeSPA b-teamer is twice as good as any Acer player that is currently on their team.

Won't happen. Liquid only recruits the best of the best, crème de la crème, contenders not pretenders: cf. Liquid`Mana, Liquid`Ret etc.

After what happened with IM, this gave me a good chuckle :D
|
Rain joining dead pixels confirmed
|
Wow, what a blow to SKT!! And there are not too many foreign teams available I guess, so where will they end up?
AlienInvasionParting???
DignitasRain?????

So now Acer shouldn't have any problem compensating the loss of INnoVation. AcerFantasy? Also EG could use this opportunity to buy some more talent, aside from JD their roster seems non-existent.

DeMusliM came third in a tournament about finding the best European, so he's still kicking.

WOW wtf is happening.
SKT without Parting and Rain? Now they need innovation if they want to do well in proleague imo.
Also no Rain in proleague probably, THAT sucks -.- (idc about parting tbh)
|
Wow, crazy news. Hope they'll find what they're looking for.
|
with Taeja retiring and HerO in a slump, it's time for TL to pick up another Korean.
|
I can't see Rain NOT on SKT

Sorry but last time I bet my money on DeMusliM he proceeded to lose against someone named "MarineLord" at DH or sth. 0-2... I really like Ben, but as a player I have to admit I've given up on him long time ago.

Rain leaving is surprising but not Parting and Fantasy. Parting can get easy money from foreign tournaments and Fantasy has been rumoured to be retiring for such a long time prior to PL finals. He's likely going to play in this seeing everything fit what Love said:

quite a gamble by FanTaSy, he hasn't done much on SC2, I wonder who will be willing to pay him as much as SKT did Fantasy should go back BW like bisu. Read from somewhere bisu is making like 20k a month from streaming afreeca or some shit.
yes, Bisu is making ridiculous bank on Afreeca and streams on a daily basis. Imagine if Fantasy starts streaming, I'm sure he'll make more than what he was making on SKT in SCII.

MK, EG Parting sounds very good. Haven't heard many waves from that team in a long time since they booted Idra, though Huk has been doing much better recently.

I am still in shock over this.
I hope these Koreans don't end up disappointed with what the foreign teams can offer them.
|
I wonder who will have a larger salary after these transfers. Top of the top notch Rain. The angel himself? Or will it be our fallen angel. Soul-train Devil Parting?
P.s. Rain, stick with SKT.
