So sayeth eSports Heaven

eSports heaven has learned that that Won “PartinG” Lee Sak has been signed to Zenith of Origin, a Chinese team that includes top players such as Huang “TooDming” Huiming. The signing to Zenith of Origin comes hot on the heels of a highly successful one year tour with the Taiwanese team Yoe Flash Wolves.

PartinG had previously played for Team StarTale before signing a high profile contract with top Korean outfit SK Telecom T1. Despite the high salary PartinG chose not to continue with SKT1 after his contract expired, citing a dislike for living and playing within the KeSPA system. Despite the lower salary, PartinG has stated that he prefers playing on teams that give him the freedom to travel and compete, claiming he "grew up in the wild", but SKT1 continue to hold PartinG's Proleague rights, making it unlikely he will be able to play in Prologue as a mercenary for one of the KeSPA teams.


Zenith's roster

(P)PartinG
(Z)TooDming
(Z)Sakya
(T)Zycart

Edit:
There is no understanding. There is only Choya. Choya is the way. Choya is Love. Choya is Life. Has is the Light in the Protoss Dark and Nightmare is his chosen Acolyte

YFW are abandoning their SC2 team except Has. That is the reason Parting leaves YFW.
YFW and ZOO teamed up together to attend the NSL (Chinese team league) this year. So we have Parting/Has/Toodming on the same team.

BTW
The NSL is going to be interesting this year. The top four contender iG, Bheart, Xteam and Zoo-YFW all have some solid roster.

Bheart: Cyan/Mytery

Zoo-YFW: Parting/Has/Toodming.

4 1v1 games like SPL, no ACE game in regular season.
but both team can pull out an archon as a player once, like a joker card.
So there are some 2v1 scenario in this tournament.

Is there any reason he don't want to go back to a Korean organization?

He doesn't like the KeSPA system and all Korean teams that exist right now are part of that system (also SKT owns his Proleague rights so he's not a very appealing player for the other teams either).
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

<3 Parting, wish him all the best and hope he does well this year. Seemed to take a down turn towards the end of Hots, hopefully he comes back to form! Absolutely love watching his games. Also, really sick of SK T1 holding onto players proleague rights, I mean c'mon SKT1... Been so dominate, just allow them to play! Esports careers don't last forever, shouldn't lock them out for the majority of it, if not all of it..

Never quite understood that.
Did he break his contract midway with SKT? Everywhere they cite that he left SKT when his contract ended (expired), so it shouldn't be like that.

Since he's banned from proleague for the time being it seems like a pretty bad deal to come back to Korea anyway (both for him and the team).

It's odd that Zoo is his organization of choice. Haven't they had issues financially supporting their players in the past?

What is up with Korean players going to all of these booty teams with no real financial backing? Don't get it.

Zoo is not a rich team but I think they have overcome the financial problem now. So I think they are fine.
Zoo also holds one of the best academy team in China. A lot of young players went to zoo last year and became noticed by the pro-scene.
