Players keep moving in South Korea since the end of 2014 Proleague.

Today, we learned that Zerg player Shin « Hydra » Dong Won will not renew his contract with CJ Entus for the next season. After seven years spent with the korean team and notable results at IEM Singapore 2013 and Red Bull Battle Grounds Global last month, he is now looking for a new structure.


team-aAa.com : We learned today that you were leaving CJ Entus. Can you tell us a bit more ?
Shin "Hydra" Dong Won : I leave CJ Entus because I have been member of the team and participating to KeSPA events for seven years. It is now time for me to discover new experiences through a foreign team.

Do you have something to say to your former teammates ?
Yes, it was a big part of my life. It is sad to leave the place where you have been since the age of 17, but I want to discover new things. Big thanks to CJ Entus !

What do you think about the new WCS rules ?
There is good and bad things. I think they are fine for the foreign players and bad for the Koreans who play for a foreign team.

What are your plans for the next season ?
I would like to join a foreign team and compete in WCS North America or WCS Europe. I plan to leave South Korea and gain a visa to be part of one of those two tournaments.

Any words for your fans ?
I am really excited to meet you, I will train a lot and show you my best level very soon. I need your support !

All these super high quality Korean players, not enough salaries to go around in foreign teams...

Isn't that title completely misleading? He actually says the rules are bad for koreans on foreign teams but he wants to discover new experiences outside of kespa regardless.

HOW MANY FOREIGN TEAMS DO THESE KOREANS THINK ARE HIRING?! Jesus Christ why doesn't Kespa just move to NA already?

Some of them probably cant stand the kespa training regime anymore. Others just want to try new thins with military looming. Others are thinking of avoiding the inevitable forced retirements and cuts. Can't blame them.

That doesn't seem very... logical.

I just don't get why are they all leaving before LotV comes in.

So, considering that TRUE is technically in Dead Pixels, we now have:

DRG
Rain
PartinG
FanTaSy
Hydra

4 Code S playoffs level guys and FanTaSy, who can really get them, lol.
+ There is Myungsik who left KT Rolster as well.

TL won't get anyone until TJ retires most likely, Acer will get probably one and outside of those two, noone really seems legit contender.
YOE FLASH WOLVES FOR THE RESCUE PLEASE.

On less serious note, i hope they're still going to play in SPL.

Guys, you know foreigners give you like 300 gold when you kill them! (less exp though) Farming foreigners is the best strategy to reach MC the quickest.

What exactly in that interview justifies the title? :s
Not only does he not give the new WCS rules as a reason for leaving, he even states that it's bad for players on foreign teams...

I dont know if these players see, that no major Team out of Korea hires atm? Maybe Acer and thats it. Yeah and new creations maybe.

I can understand the players leaving hte KeSPA Regime, you have to act like a robot to train so hard in the Team Houses, you give up so much for maybe so little.
But these foreign teams, they all search for... they do not exist or have no spare slots atm.

Its a shame that the money and team thing develops so different from the talented players: so many players spread out of korea, so little teams can offoard them.

Damn this, lotv save us all.
