Proxy Gate i guess. They did not field him in SPL. I never knew if he was good or not. He never been out of the bench

Gutted about State. I felt there was a chance of seeing him feature of Prime next year in Proleague.
|
If State can't find a new Korean team I wonder if we could see him at Axiom potentially. Can't see him costing too much, would be a Korean teamhouse for him to train at and it would allow Axiom to continue to have representation in WCS AM and thus marketable to foreign sponsors?
Just a thought...
EDIT: Forgot that Dead Pixels are paying for TRUE to stay in the Axiom house, so the house is full right now I think.

He could go far in the new WCS AM now that he's been training for so long in Korea. It makes sense to go home for the 2015 season. Ideally, he would find a team that has a proper team house so he can keep in shape. So maybe EG or Root. Does Liquid have a team house?

He's not going home.
Good on him.

He's not going home now. But he will have to go home next year if he wants to participate in WCS AM (residency required).

He has an American Passport. He is forever a resident of the US even when is not actually situated there. He can compete in WCS AM even when still living in Korea.

It's kinda funny because he's basically doing what everyone got annoyed at Koreans for doing.

No. He is a U.S. citizen. However, he is a Korean resident. Citizenship ≠ Residence. He may be ineligible for WCS America, depending on how Blizzard defines residence for purposes of the WCS residency requirement.

Blizzard defines Residence as "having a working/living visa for the whole WCS Season Time". With a US Passport, you got that.

That's a pretty weak "residency" requirement if you don't have to live in the continent where you compete. I feel like the e-sports guys are writing these rules instead of having the legal department do it.

Journey qualified for MSI Beat IT 2014 today by beating Sleep, Dear, Maru. GuMiho and ByuL. Seriously, this guy has been seriously impressive for a considerable amount of time now. So I'm wondering why hasn't a team picked up him up yet?
I would imagine that he's at least on Prime or StarTale's radar. Would be as good a replacement for MKP and Bomber as anybody. I think he could even hold his own in one of the established KeSPA teams but do think ex-eSF is more likely.
I just can't think of any free agents right now who are in better shape than Journey right now.
I also have similar feelings for RagnaroK although less strong and it doesn't matter so much for RagnaroK as he has GEM support iirc.

By the way on the OP, where it has yoeFW listed it says "unconfirmed". It doesn't say "unconfirmed" for StarTale. Is this because Legend or someone has confirmed that StarTale will be participating in Proleague 2015?

mYi chose to grab Sacsri instead of Journey... The issue is that there's less and less money to feed SC2 players... Which is probably why Sarcsri and Journey got the boot (instead of hon_sin wtf???).
I share your disappointment... Journey's playstyle is reminiscent of Fantasy :<

Thank you. I'm so glad and hyped to see StarTale in Proleague.

Dude, I just really don't understand Rain's move from SKT. He's crushing GM KR's left and right on stream (just owned KR GM #1), so good its sick. How can he chose to move out of his killing-machine-den NOW?
