As one of the most established players in professional Starcraft, Rain joins us after leaving SK Telecom T1 with the desire of attending more Western events. Rain’s personal trophy cabinet already boasts an OSL and a GSL trophy, and he plans to add more to it in 2015. Following the recent WCS changes, Rain will continue to reside in Korea, and will not be attempting to qualify for the WCS Premier League, but rest assured, you’ll be in for plenty of awesome games from our new Protoss in the IEM and Dreamhack circuits next year, as well as the Korean leagues!
If you want to learn more about Rain and read what our players have to say about their new mate check out the News on our Homepage!
Thanks alot for all the support we get from the Starcraft 2 community! Please make sure to check out our sponsors Logitech G, Bison Group, World of cd keys and Esports Clothing who are making everything we do possible!

Wow, big pickup. Congrats!

Wonder how much this will cost them. Rain probably had several suitors for a foreign team.

I think Zest pretty much has that title locked up right now. Rain is high in the running for second or third though.

Did not see that coming. Gratz!

I can honestly say I didn't see this coming. mYinsanity is becoming a true force within the scene.
|
Damn, nice pickup mYi. Good luck to Rain and mYi :D
|
|
|
Not Liquid Rain? The dream is dead.
|
wait, Rain won't be doing WCS 2015??? 
|
Huge news! Yay Rain!
This is really cool. mYi seems like such a good team.
|
|
|
Wait so he's not going to be playing in Code S? Just playing in IEM and DH?

He won't be doing the combined WCS EU/NA tournament (called in 2015 WCS Premier) which is another way of saying that he will still be competing in Korean tournaments.
Check up with the announced WCS 2015 changes for more information.
|
mYinsanity now, has to team up with some ProLeague team and then a I take this as a good thing...

See my post on page 1.
WCS Premier in 2015 = WCS EU/NA. WCS Korea is being split into two separate tournaments, GSL and KESPA Cup.

Pretty sure it's classic right now actually, just look at Blizzcon results :p
But seriously, awesome pickup and nice to see rain finally join a team

I think that means he'll play in Korean leagues and won't attempt to obtain a european visa in order to play in WCS Eu/NA

Gratz mYi 
Hoep the best for Rain
|
|
|
Good job by mYi, they will be the real deal in teamleagues. Looking forward to see more of Rain in foreign tournaments too.
|
so mYi the best foreign team now or what
|
|
|
Sick pick up, mYi definitely EU's strongest team right now. Can't wait to see him attend more foreign tournaments :D

That would be GSL and SpotTV Starleague. KeSPA Cup is seperate.

That's INSANITY. SUPER STOKED!

Sucks that he is leaving skt after so many years mYi is really lucky to get him.
Hoping his skill wont drop now

Not sure if any Korean other than Polt and Violet can play the foreign WCS.

What are you doing Rain, leaving the best team for this one?

Not sure either. Restrictions are pretty strict. But with the two leagues I'm pretty confident this will turn out OK for the Korean scene.

With such players like Sacrsi/Jjakji/Stardust/Rain they can compete in ProLeague. I suggest them to do an alliance with MVP or Prime their rosters are pitiful compare to theirs.

mYi's lineup is actually very solid now. Sacsri, jjakji, Stardust and Rain as ace ? I send that to Proleague without any hesitation.

Wait I forgot about yoe flash wolves. Guess it comes down to sacsri, stardust, jjajki, rain vs leenock, san, parting. I'd still favor myi though as yoe flash wolves lack a strong terran.

Is there an easy to understand version of the wcs 2015 changes? I'm still confused about how it's going to work...

Aren't Sacsri, Jjakji and Stardust living in Switzerland right now?
... can't compete in Proleague if they are :-P
But sick pickup for mYi :o
Didn't expect that at all.

Is that all they have? They can compete with MVP and Prime, and that's about it.
Even EG-TL had a better roster than that, and their season of Proleague was mostly a waste of money for everyone involved.
|
I thought it wasn't going to Rain in Swiss?
Good news though, and glad to hear that mYi still wants Korean players despite the WCS changes. Since he will stay in Korea I wonder if he will play PL as a mercenary too
|
I hope that Rain will put up better results next year than Dear did this one. Shame really, such talent.
|

|
WOW!! Good thing I already had mYi flair. Next year gonna be good!

One just doesn't sign Rain.
Rain signs you!

jjakji, Stardust, Rain and Sacsri is a tough roster to fight for foreign teams. Great pickup.

Aw no liquid'rain.
But Myi is really becoming the stacked team...

Thanks! I guess it's 1 foreigner's league and 2 korean leagues.

Yep. They're really stacked now. Myi vs yoe fw will probably replace accer vs liquid as the best foreign team rivalry.
|
That's a huge signing! Are their any information on where he will reside and train?
|
Nice. mYi's lineup is looking strong.

Oh wow mYinsanity has quite a few well known players now

Ah, that's unexpected. More like 'Rain signs mYinsanity' though :D
|
mYi seriously has an impressive roster at this point.
|
Wow, great pick up! :D This is awesome, congrats to mYi!
|
Didn't see this coming but an amazing pick up regardless
|
Really the best choice. mYi is probably the most likeable team out there.
|
With jjakji, stardust, sacsri and rain they have serveral opportunitys to pick some trophys in 2015 up.

no liquid rain =(

whaaaat!
what a sick pick up. Definitely should team up with another team to join proleague together. Jjakji and Stardust are more than good enough to compete.

Hm I don't think you can say that because of a single PvP that Rain won 2-1. I think they are both great and when they play form and luck will be the deciding factor.

Lol indeed, taking a 2-1 in PvP as a sign of being a better player is not a good idea. To be honest Rain was usually better at Proleague, but recently Zest was better at almost everything. They're both good, who is better really depends on their shape as you said.

Nice. I was really hoping Liquid would have picked him up. He seems like he would have been a good fit. Liquid needs a new star player now that Taeja will be retiring soon. Maybe Soulkey is an option. He seems to be a good nature and a skilled player as well.
I am so glad Rain found a team.

This is huge. Agreed that they should try to get into Proleague.

Don't you think mYi may be planning to play in Proleague via a partnership for instance ? I can't imagine Rain living in Korea and not finding a way to Proleague.

Why would he want to play in Proleague when his reason for leaving SKT was to have more freedom to go to foreign events?

I think that too. And if the other mYi Koreans can't play in WCS (which is likely), they'll have to play in Korea, shich probably means living in Korea too. That leads me to think mYi could partner up with a team like Prime/MVP, which could use players like Rain, Sacsri, jjakji and Stardust in their roster (and come on, SD-Flash in PL again plz)

For me it would be strange for liquid to pick up rain, drg or soulkey. In the past the seem to have picked up lesser know players with great potential. I can see them picking up players like journey or patience though.

Well PartinG left for the same reasons as Rain and now... I think with a partnership they could play in foreign events, and just play PL when there are no foreign events

I think partnerships can still be decided after the line-up is announced, like when Oz played for IM or things like that.

Very very very surprising. I was expecting Rain to join EG, Liquid, Acer or a big team. Major downgrade from SKT, but oh well. Congrats to mYi I guess.

That is not long term solution.
Esport team that gets its money by selling their body parts. Seems legit

If you mean with sponsors those who you list at your website, that is really weird. Bison is giving some really big money to the team. And I have hard time beliving why they do that.

mYinsanity is by far my favourite non Korean team!Great pick up!

Jjakji,Sacsri,StarDust,Ballon and now Rain.Wow u can compete in Proleague with that lineup :D

SKT will never be the same without him. Good with mYinsanity Rain!

Okey, im just only one that sees this weird. Company that isn't anyway related to esport is giving lot of money. And I know that sponsors doesn't always want visibility for their money but sometimes only to help keep up things they(owner/owners) like.
But that doesnt change fact that it is weird

mYi has quietly amassed a VERY strong team

In the case of mYi, I think you're looking for weird where there is none. Unlike teams like Eclypsia and Team whatever-the-fuck mYi has a good track record of stability and no history of controversy or drama. They didn't pick up Rain when they were the new kids on the block, they went with the small-time players that were allowed to grow on their roster. This sets them apart from a team like Invasion eSports that just happen to pick up players with no information available anywhere. Naturally, a healthy dose of scepticism is good but since we don't know anything about the state of mYi or their sponsors I think you should be asking them, not TL

How is that weird? Bison, their main sponsor, looks like a pretty big and legit company, and since they sponsor an obscure singer-songwriter and the "next generation of ice hockey players", I don't really see how sponsoring an eSports team is weird. And I mean companies like SKT, Korean Air, Jin Air, CJ, Red Bull, etc aren't related to eSports, which doesn't prevent them to sponsor big teams/events.

This is an understatement. Rain is the best player on the planet. Hopefully being on a foreign team won't stop him from being the best .

You know very well, especially with the way mirrors work, that A beats B does not necessarily mean that A is a more solid player than B overall.

Don't worry I agree with your Protoss top 3, I was just joking d: (Classic is still underrated in general though. He's probably the fourth/fifth best P in the world right now). And yes I would put MMA above Flash and INno any day, but I may be slightly biased (;

Well, I wrote my words badly. Unlike SKT, Reb Bull, Samsung or Monster they do things that we buy. Bison seems to do IT solutions. How many of viewers are looking for IT solutions for their company?
But I never said that it is shady, just weird from finance perspective If I had to pick favorite I would pick mYi over everyteam in esport.

Classic is most definitely underrated. I'm glad he put up a great fight at Blizzcon because it's true his GSL victory at the pinnacle of Protoss domination followed by a swift elimination at the hands of Shine and EffOrt didn't serve his cause !

mYi has become such a stacked team - assuming the ATC comes back for S4, there will be a lot of stacked teams:
mYi, YoeFW (with Parting), etc.

That's true - unless Acer picks up some new talent or MMA can retain his form from this weekend AND we see the Zergs step up, it will be exceedingly difficult for Acer to defend that title.

Will there actually be a next season of ATC? It seemed like they got less money and more problems for every season that passed

Oh dear - ATC is so critical for the scene. Because it is the only premier teamleague outside of Korea, I feel that it is just so important.
Teamleagues help teams maintain cohesion and exposure, and allows new players an easier opportunity to gain exposure.
Think of some of the most accomplished players in SC2 - MMA, DRG, Taeja, Life. All of these players really started off as teamleague stars before becoming champions.

But these are Korean players you are talking about and it is the Korean scene you are referring to. Sadly, teamleagues play a very minor role in the western scene. I mean, just look at how much ATC had to distort its schedule to play all the games. :-/

Not to mention the fact that some teams (cough*EG*cough) obviously did not give a shit enough to even show up to games.

Yeah! Fucking amazing news, so glad for Rain he finally got signed! Too bad though that most of his plans of going abroad are not accomplishable anymore through the new WCS system, even though I generally support the changes.

I'd still argue that ATC helps "foreign" teams, even if these teams are comprised of Koreans. It allows foreign teams a chance to gain exposure on a weekly basis. Plus we have seen some foreign players do well in the ATC. Dayshi has excelled in both ATC 2 and 3, and I think his performance here has been the biggest contributing factor to his fame. Bunny and Snute also have benefited IMO from playing in the league.

sOs and PartinG Rain and Stats above herO? D:
Stats and herO are kind of close, only reason I would rate Stats above him is because herO tends to choke often. And yes of course Rain, come on.. it's freakin' Rain.
Edit: I'm still hyped about Stats since his GSL run, if he didn't ran into pre-finals soOjwa, who knows.

I'd sneak sOs in #3 but otherwise I'd agree. Haven't seen Parting in a long time so I can't comment on his condition.

Gratz to Myi and Rain, hope Rain brings homemore trophies, lol, i dont know if anyone forgot but Rain and Sacsri are teammates..... again, hope they still get along

No apparently he's sticking around for another year.

I'll miss Rain in Proleague. Hope he enjoys playing for Myi

Predictable response from me:
Oh, wow!

mYi continue their slow domination of foreign Starcraft. Basically the new EG.
Wish Acer had nabbed him though. They could use a strong Protoss. :/

Luck is a part of Protoss's strength :^)
I think Scarlett and another Acer Zerg would approve of this comment.

Nice pickup by myi. Strong contender for one of the best protoss (from what I recall lol). I think Zest pretty much has that title locked up right now. Rain is high in the running for second or third though.
Zest, herO and maybe Classic are probably the best. Rain is great also, but I would need to see him against those three before I decide he is "one of the best protoss".
Rain is a great pickup though.
Good luck to both parties!

I love on the MYi annoucnment page interview... what are your goals? With a different environment, its about time i won code s and the foreign tournaments, as well as wcs global finals. i love it.. just win it all. i mean seriously win it all.
|
i talked to pengwin last hearthstone cup at taketv and he was like a bit drunk saying "oh we will get a new player" etc stuff and i thought well maybe a good one ... a GOOD ONE ? ... oh my god ... what a ... omg epic
but what you mean with not attempting qualifiy for wcs ? not wcs eu/us or all ? isnt there a korean wcs/gsl ?
|
this is just unfair.. liquid`Rain sounds much better.
mYi will play now with cheats in all their cups. Also all tournaments will be won by them.
Does this mean that Rain will play WCS EU?
Still, really nice pickup for them, also happy that Rain can fulfill his dream in playing a foreign team.
With their current korean roster.. jjakji who never really confirmed, he came to EU from RO8 GSL as a big contender for WCS EU, but so far he failed. Stardust is an opportunist from my point of view, he is a good player but would never rate him as one of the best from the world. Rain on the other hand.. even if he has no big results this year, is a superstar, one of the most solid player out there, definitely top5 protoss in the world. (I would still put Zest, herO maybe also Classic in front of him).
I also expect a big explosion from mYi academy.. or B team. They have a lot of really young and really talented players. I want to see them evolve and win. Basically, that is the part where I started to respected them and rate them as one of the best up and coming team, probably the only big foreign team who invest in young talents.

Acer definitely needs a new players after Innovation left.

Well first gratz for this pickup, but
"ATC/Teamleagues are critical for western scene?,????"
I though nobody except koreans actually give a **** since there is like one team league? and few teams. More eu/na players getting teamless and rather participate in solo leagues in my opinion. Since I like ATC majority of players were Koreans anyway. Since I checked something yesterday the cheaper way for ATC would be to host it in korea and TL Team could fly there ! Sadly.. nothing is really relevant for EU/NA scene since they gonna have "separate scene" in 2015. BUT... there will be finals and since best place to practice is Korea the finals will be just a simple disaster and dissapointment of showing how low (except few CHOSEN PPL) can compete against koreans and actually win

First i hoped they would get Parting. Then i hoped they would get Rain sad fan
mYi might be the strongest foreigner team. In fact, on paper, i would say that they ARE the strongest for now (maybe followed by Yoe Flash, then Liquid and Acer)

So sad that the combo Parting Liquid and Liquid Rain didn't come up On the other side - happy for mYi, insane pick, well played, mYi, well played! GL to both, the team and the player!

was hoping for liquid rain but this is not bad, congrats to both parties!
really hope to see mYi partner up with a kespa team for proleague now too
|

Damn it! I hoped TL would sign him

Lol at all this Rain overrating. I know he's good, but just cuz MYI picked him up doesn't mean they're winning everything. Remember Mouz.Dear or what joining foreign teams did to INnovation? Yeah.

Dear was only big for a few months before being signed, Rain has been amazing for like 2 years.

Will Rain be streaming now he's got picked up?
Scary high level of play, it's great to get to see the S class Koreans play, some of the styles and games they show away from the stage are incredible

Too bad he said he will retire after the Blizzcon, which was this week, so I guess he'll do that soon :p

Taeja's good, but with Hero slumping these really no depth

Btw, plz someone pick up Soulkey. So saddening to see him without a team.
|
Myi will gain from this pick hugely!!~~ Stardust and Rain working together = insane PvP strength,,,Jjakji will learn a snap load too..
|
Insanity indeed. Rain is going to crush nerds all over the place.
|
OH MY GOD. This is a sick pickup as well. Glad that he continues to do KR
