Yeah, I'm sure when DRG left he said it was because he didn't like having to play PL etc. I guess now that there's more Korean tournaments he has changed his mind

Sad for invasion, cause really they were shaddy and came out of the blue, you can even say they were bordeline amateurs but in the end they recruited these players, repected their part of the contract (no lack of payment bullshit) so it seems they were perfectly honest and sincere.

Let's see if they keep being active on esport of if this marks the begining of the end or their short existence.

As for DRG, about time he starts to perform again, I hope he will really train serioulsy else he'd better just retire.

Doesn't suprise me.
Koreans need to train in Korea within their usual environments to stay on top. If they "train" abroad they become worse really soon.

Inv Esports were that shady thing, amirite?

I haven't seen anything shady about them though. There hasn't been any drama over payment or dodgy contracts, their players have gotten into big tournaments so there seems to be support and all the Koreans who play(ed) for them, at least publicly, only had good things to say.

Inexperienced, maybe, but that isn't the same as shady.

Would be sorta weird if he returned to MVP, although I doubt he will. Maybe SKT.DRG? KT.DRG? JAGW.DRG? Samsung DRG? CJ DRG? I think CJ is a very possible choice as they only have 1 active zerg in Byul for PL at least. KT probably not despite Life being their main zerg, they still got Sleep and Action as backup zergs. There's also PRIME as a realistic possibility since they mainly field Protoss and Terrans, and their zerg lineup sorta lacking.

I think it'll either be CJ/SKT.DRG or DRG.Prime

Samsung DRG would be cool. I mean, they got sweet jackets.

I just feel relieved that he wants to participate in the proleague.

Prime need him the most. Even though they're Zerg heavy Startale could use him too. MVP could probably use him as well although they're playing well this round it's mostly on the back of Losira and Yonghwa and he did leave MVP not that long ago.

He'd be a great pickup for Prime if they have the money, DRG is a popular player and if he gets back in form he could be their ace.

I don't see anything shady or any drama? DRG wants to be the best, be with KeSPA and play SPL again. No complain about Invasion whatsoever. It's just a Korean realising that there arent' that many foreign tournaments and the Korean infrastrucutre is way better plus you have enough to play in with dual leagues and SPL now.

Well this must suck big time for DRG. He first goes on the record saying that enjoying himself is important and its not all about money, he turns down some KeSPA offers only to change his mind a couple of months down the road. His best bet would have been KT pre Life since they only have Action and Sleep, but now he has no chance there.

SKT1 are definetly not rotating him in over soO or Dark, Jin Air are pretty rigid about going outside their favorite formula of Maru, Rogue, sOs with either Cure or Trap as a 4th. I guess CJ is his best bet if he wants a top KeSPA team given that they are only regularly fielding ByuL as their zerg and lack depth there.

I hope he signs with CJ, Dream's play improved so much once he was on SKT1, I feel DRG maybe reach some of his past glory if he had the training of one of the top teams.

DRG would be excellent at some of the stronger teams (JAGW, CJ, SKT), but I actually think his chances with KT and Samsung are higher, given they are willing to pay. For the first three teams, he has a hard time competing for a spot, for the latter two, he might stand a chance (if he gets as consistent as he used to be, he can easily replace Flash/TY). For MVP, he got dumped by them, so that may be a no go. For Prime, he might be the third strong player they need to get competitive FINALLY. For Startale, I guess so, they could use him.

I'd prefer JAGW > Samsung > KT, in that order.
