Xiaose's long and angry post on weibo details the reason of his departure (it was not an amiable one).

ByuN questioned Xiaose on why he didn't give ByuN an invite spot for NSL. Xiaose wanted to cool him off a little bit, for as Xiaose put it, ByuN's behavior had not been very nice: demanding pay raises at the last minute before signing contracts, simply because he thinks he's the star player. So this time around, Xiaose didn't give ByuN an invite spot for NSL (where Xiaose is the main organizer). He told ByuN that he wanted some new faces in the tournament.

And ByuN replied that he's leaving the team.

I mean, if you compare him to the rest of X-Team's roster that's not a stretch. IIRC he is (was?) pretty popular in China.

I read Chinese and yeah......he and x-team pretty much broke up. And judging from Xiaose's perpective, the fault is on ByuN's side.
He wouldn't be so popular in China if not for X-team's acquisition and hype. PartinG was also playing in China at that time and had a larger fanbase.
I was so happy to see him again and now with all this, I need a new Korean Terran to root for.

It's always easy to just hear 1 side of the story and then decide that that's all you need to hear.

I'm waiting on a explanation from ByuN's side.
This pretty much f**ked my morning. Since I rooted for both him and his team.
It's like seeing Tim Duncan leaving the Spurs. Well, maybe not to that extent.

Well things are a bit messed up judging by Xiaose's post here
So basically they did not even get the contact settled down
Byun was paid by Xteam based the amount of games he played and he did not have a monthly salary
The plan is to also let him stream on Douyu and Douyu will give him a contact for streaming (>10k RMB per month, which would be about >1.5k USD per month. not through Xteam, just between Byun and Douyu). Not a bad deal if you ask me...But that deal broke when Byun require some last minute raise at WCS Shanghai
If there is indeed no settled monthly salary and no streaming contract I can sort of see why Byun decided to leave since he cannot get much money from Xteam when the teamleague has not started this season. Though it was kind of his own fault to blow off such a good streaming deal in the first place.

X-Team is pretty small I thinks, I guess he could have a much more interesting contract with bigger Chinese organizations since he would be the favourite going into 2017 wcs.

Yes, X-Team is a small team; however, the organizer of X-Team, the Xu-Dong Huang (ColoUrDFiRsT), and Sun-Yi Feng, F91, are the actual governor of most Starcraft related games in China, like Kong-Fu cap. There is no reason to get them annoyed just for join another team in China, say iG.

I think it's more likely for him to move to Europe or America. Otherwise maybe it's time for him to fulfill the military obligation.

According to Xiaose's post in Neotv SC2 forum, it was Byun who cut off the relationship with XTeam by simply saying he left the team after Xiaose told him he was not invited for that July tournament. The rest is pretty much how Yiome has put it in the post.

ByuN is not a star player? or are you just being sarcastic
Anyway good luck finding a new team Byun. I hope it is a Kespa team if he is looking for stable salary.
In proleague maybe he will prove he is the gold scale fish that cannot be held in a small pond like XTeam, for he will become the dragon when an actual storm hits.
