Wow look at that list of names who will never reach Code S again. Everyone knows foreign Koreans can't compete in Korea. Failures looking for easy foreign money.


This comment is pretty hilarious given how tournaments have looked for the last few months. Flash struggling against MC and Stardust? Check. Solar and Zest both losing to Taeja? Check. San beating Byul into the ground? Check. DRG making the Ro8? Check.

I'd never say that you don't know what you're talking about, but it certainly looks that way.

a bunch of particular matches isn't much either. And a terran struggling vs protoss isn't big news for over a year (bomber vs has - classic). I get what you're saying but honestly I think only Tajea would be a force to be reckoned with in KR.

Hmmm I don't feel that negative towards this. If there were no possibilities to go to foreign teams like in BW Hydra probably would've just retired. It's not that hard to imagine that spending 7 years in the same environment will become very uninspiring. I feel it's a positive thing there's possibilities (however limited) for these players to take new steps without having to quit Starcraft altogether.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Check.

If anything, it shows that WCS EU / NA aren't far away from WCS KR at all.

How bored are you that you answered to a post, that called Rain a failure looking for easy foreign money?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Why are all these players moving out? Good job WCS system, and good luck to him finding a team anytime soon with SKT's runaways on the market.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

All these guys leaving korean teams are going to end up on crappy little foreign teams or retiring soon.
I'm guessing they're leaving in the first place because they are retiring soon. SC2 just doesn't pay anymore, and now that they can't even play in WCS NA and EU, they might as well move on.

Really seems like BW Koreans are realizing how big the eSports world is now. So many of them have hardly left Korea, and then they get a taste of what us foreign fans are like, and now it's time for a foreign team :D

I could be totally off base, but aww well

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.

That doesn't seem very... logical.


This made me laugh so much. I really hope these guys find teams, it would really be sad to see their level go down if they cannot get into the right environment/support fast enough. So many open players now @_@

I think PartinG meant the players that live in korea and fly out to a bunch of tournaments/WCS :p

Although I might not agree with everything he said; I'm afraid he has a point when it comes to the decline of skill. I can imagine that departing from korea will open a few new doors but close some others. :-/ Right now the only Koreans that maintained their skill were Hyun, Taeja and Polt. And MC.
We'll see what happens...

WCS 2015: All kespa players leave Korea, in search of that sweet easy foreign money. WCS EU and AM both become as hard as GSL and all foreigners are eliminated immediately. Round of 8 WCS EU: Hydra, Solar, Cure, DRG, Zest, Rain, Parting, MC. WCS AM: soO, Stats, Innovation, TRUE, Maru, sOs, Soulkey, Flash. Meanwhile, only mediocre washouts are left in Korea. Now that GSL is so much less competitive, State, who has still been toiling away in the Prime house makes his first GSL. He becomes the first foreigner to win GSL, royal roading through such titans like SalvatioN, Miso, BrAvO, PenguiN, AnNyeong, and Zoun, before meeting MKP in the finals. He beats MKP so badly that he cries (as expected). However, no one gives his win any weight, as he was too much of a 'coward' to play in the REAL SC2 leagues, WCS AM and EU.
