Well fuck, I never in a million years expected Rain to leave SKT1. Rain is one of those you forever associate with his former team, just like MarineKing with Prime, Mvp with IM and DRG with MVP. Good luck to all of them, they are some of my favorite players, they are very skilled and it would be a shame to see their talents go to waste.

do they know that the foreign scene, the foreign fans, are not what it/they used to be?

EG made statements long time ago that they are less focused on starcraft 2, and have been focused on their Dota/LOL scene. I don't see them investing tons of money into starcraft 2, not to mention 2015 region lock, makes it even more expensive.

I don't see any foreign teams picking up Koreans anytime soon with the new lock.

They aren't planning to pickup anyone before LotV, according to InConTrol.

Yeah, I think people are really glossing over this fact.

WOW this came out of nowhere. Holy shit.

Is FanTaSy retiring? Hope he tries to get a fresh start on another team and can revitalize himself.

I'm sooo excited to see Rain on a foreign team though! :D

I hope that those players have some foreing team ready for them, not just "looking for foreing team" -tweet and then fade into nothingness

Looks like Zest is going to be the new Rain in Korea, as for Rain I would be the happiest if he just retires.

Wow, I really didn't expect Rain to leave SKT, he was one of their strongest players and seemed to be quite well in the team. I guess SKT will be still fine but I will miss him in Proleague a bit.

But on a second thought, if you look at the videos on their channel and Proleague broadcasts, Rain often hangs out with PartinG and they're both fun and outgoing personalities (the rest of the team is cool too but seems a bit more quiet), so maybe they have similar reasons, maybe as PartinG said they really just want to have fun. And with Proleague and GSL taking most of their time, they can't really go to all those international events.

And who knows, maybe Kespa will make up their mind and allow a foreign team to compete which will happen to have players like PartinG and Rain

As to what team will sign them, Acer looks good currently and they seem to have fun atmosphere, so I guess it would suit them. Evil Geniuses would be a good choice as well I guess, some great teammates for Jaedong, who's apparently getting better again since he just won WEC. mYinsanity sounds good too but I'm not sure how it looks on the inside. Team Liquid is always nice but didn't someone say that they prefer to sign like up and rising players, not already stars? Anyway, I kinda hope they'll end up in the same team because I think they get along quite well.

I wonder what will happen with Fantasy. He didn't seem to feel very well in the team, he looked very shy and all but maybe that's just an impression.

Huh.. Yeah Rain leaving a real shock.

I guess he heard he was #1 on PR and decided he had achieved everything he wanted. Time to go rake in EZ foreign money.

Still surprised they would all leave looking for foreign teams with the new WCS rules being introduced.

Super wild guess: they go to ROOT. Parting is kinda friends with CatZ so maybe they're in talks already... CatZ what the hell are you selling to this guys?!?
