Parting said he wants to join X-team at first, but X-team's manager F91 and xiaose said they do not really want to sign him because X-team (with Byun) will be too strong compared to other Chinese team, so they refered Parting to Zoo in order to play the Chinese starcraft league.
But Parting does not play very well recently because he still play old Hots style. He narrowly beat the caster xiaose, and had been crushed by xigua several times. However, it looks like he enjoys his steaming on douyu by defeating random gold and diamond players in China server, and watching other girl's steaming of other games.

Err, i might be wrong but i thought YFW was a Taiwan team, not a Chinese one

The official name of Taiwan is "Republic of China". It was part of Chine since the 17th century being seperated from China under the rule of Japan from 1895 to 1945. Then it became part of "the Republic of China" again which became "People's Republic of China" in 1949 after the communist civil war. Since then Taiwan is the remaining piece of the "Republic of China" where government and army retreated to.

tl;dr: history-wise Taiwan is kind of China too.

Yea, Taiwan if part of China, and the mainland China is another part of China too, though they are currently controlled by two different governments which call themselves different names. Technically they are still in civil war state, because there's neither peace treaty nor cease fire between them.

Btw, it is just some historical fact, and I think TL is not a good place for politics. But in any case, Parting loves China and Chinese now. Though he does not play very well now, he still keeps his blink stalker micro. This year's China's team league should be interesting to watch.

I am not sure how I feel about this...
This is not the parting that was in SKT1, not even the parting with YFW... This is the parting that streams League on Douyu trolling around.
Hopefully he can get back on track and perform in Zoo, or I don't think Zoo is getting a good deal in this

Agreed. But I don't think Zoo would pay a considerable salary to PartinG, while Zoo could use PartinG's fame to attract more sponsors (hopefully), so this is a good deal to Zoo anyway.

I am a big fan of PartinG since his days as another random GSL qualifier player, but tbh I feel regret on today's PartinG, even though he never be so close to Chinese fans than today.

I hope he can take his motivation back after joining Zoo, but I doubt that. Zoo lacks ability to provide a good atmosphere for progamers to practice hard.
