Same thing I was thinking (maybe not an upgrade, but at least breaking even). Reality was very overrated, and Dear is as good as or better than RorO.

Also I saw this:

Hydra left for ROOT and to play in WCS


Did I miss something? How can Hydra play in WCS? Or does this mean that he HAD planned to play in WCS prior to the region lock?

he'll be living in ROOT hours afaik. He got a visa


What kind of visa? Living in the house and having a visa is not enough, he has to have legal resident status like Polt and viOLet got in recognition of their "athlete" status. Was there some news that Hydra got or might have got that? That's not an easy thing to get.

Excellent article. Got the hype-juices flowing nicely.

One could argue KT is trending upwards with the acquisition of Ryu Won, but then again, we haven't really seen a positive impact so far. KT added Believe, too, though I'm sure I'm as clueless as everyone else what this means. My guess would be nothing, but still.

The proper kind, as far as I know. Catz and various related people helped him out from what I heard.

Huh, okay. I can't personally say I am excited about it but good job by ROOT. I would much rather have seen SuperNova there if they were going to send a ROOT Korean to WCS but I guess he wasn't interested in moving to the U.S.?

TBF, I think that they'd have done their due diligence before deciding to fly him out there. Anything less would be so incompetent

SKT is better than people think. Star studdes doesnt auto win em the league, I actually think they are more balance race wise this season. Though losing Rain etc still isnt amazing
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

I just hadn't heard that any SC2 progamer except Polt and viOLet had managed to get a visa that gives them U.S. permanent resident status. I would have thought it would have been bigger news. And it's a little weird that it's a guy who unlike Polt and viOLet had almost no presence in the foreign scene until now and frankly wasn't successful in the Korean scene either (at least not at SC2).

CJ is the best team in Proleague. Maybe not the most talented, but the deepest and best overall team imo.
