Dead Pixels and Patience part ways - Page 2

In fact, Patience’s great run ended up with him not being able to apply for and receive a visa for Switzerland, hindering his planned move to Switzerland.

We don't really need another Protoss. And I'm not sure if he wants to look at the man who 4-0'd him in the S2SL Ro4 every day.

MVP kinda makes sense since he was already staying with them and was originally supposed to play PL for them. CJ and Jin Air are kinda low on players so they should be looking into this. Not sure about Afreeca and Samsung.

Sorry that his visa situation didn't work out as he wanted. Will enjoy seeing him in PL nonetheless.

Some people commenting here clearly don't watch PL/aren't familiar w/ the current rosters.

JAGW, KT, and SKT are all loaded at P and have zero need. The two teams that make the most sense are CJ and MVP.

From a standpoint of pure need, CJ w/ their threadbare roster (only 5 players while Bbyong is out), makes the most sense. Hush seems to be a much better coach/practice player than actual PL performer. So Patience could easily take his current starting spot (2nd P after herO). A lineup in R2 of herO, Byul, Patience, and Ragnarok starting w/ Bunny and Hush in support (until Bbyong hopefully returns soon) could be a big improvement over their disastrous R1.

MVP also is a logical choice, despite their larger roster (far too T heavy). They already have two core starters in GumiGod and Departure, but their other slots are largely rotational. Patience should be an improvement over their current P (Blaze and Seed) and would be a nice rotation regular. A lineup in R2 of GumiGod, Departure, Patience, and alternating 4th slot between Forte/Blaze w/ Ryung, Seed, and Pet in support should be an improvement over their winless R1.

AF currently has a very small roster and is in need of improved talent and depth at both Z and P. They already have Super (getting a lot of run in R1, to mediocre results) and Billowy, so not sure if they'd want to add a 3rd P. But Patience should be able to quickly become their top P option and would be a solid addition to their current Alive, Curious, Bomber/Keen core.

Samsung would have made a lot of sense last season (before the WCS changes), since they were known for sending their higher profile players to frequent overseas tournaments to increase brand/team exposure and visibility. They have a deep and talented lineup (T heavy) despite surprisingly just missing the R1 playoffs. Their P line w/ ace player Dear and Hurricane behind (along w/ Stork as coach), is already pretty solid and might not have room for another. A lineup in R2 of stars Dear and Solar, along w/ strong regular Reality and a rotating combination of Journey/Hurricane/Bravo, likely doesn't leave much extra space for a new player. But this is a team desperate to improve in R2 and R3 in order to make the season ending playoffs, so if they decide Patience would improve their chances, they'd likely make it work.

People who say they fucked up sc2 with those new rulez are somewhat right, but blizzard wanted to see how this works. No need for a foreigner pro player to even try get into this game. You know you gonna lose to a Korean.
Not because Korean is a superrace, its because they have teamhouses and play vs best players all the time, and also in real life not online.
It would be a BIG change if the EU or NA starts to make a very large teamhouse, or some teamhouses in about the same area.

We would not be in this situation if koreans in na played on the server of their region and gave na player the opportunity to practise against them. It was also unfair that organisations such as mlg flew out koreans to their tournaments instead of letting the eco system play out it-self.

The wcs system just tries to correct past mistakes. Also we had already a system in which koreans could compete where they wanted. It did not work out! Just accept it. I am sure he will even earn more money in a proleague team than at dead pixels.

If you throw koreans against foreigners its like throwing a championsleague team in soccer against a regional league (exxagerated). There is no real competition, korean will win no matter what. We had that already.

A player makes an incredible run in a Korean league and earns the attention of a Proleague team, and a foreign team releases a PR statement because they don't want to say "he left us to play for a better organization". This is a victory for the WCS system.

He should go to MVP
Patience/GuMiho/DeParture would be good
