Sorry to burst the loyalty theory that some guy pulled out from his armpit, but "runner" is used in the fact that the player couldn't make money anymore in Korea, so he "ran" to other places for easy money. (e.g. NA and EU)
To explain the animosity we will have to go back to the old days with Kespa vs the newly founded eSports Federation, as well as BW vs SC2, as well as the SlayerS incident (Crank: What did you ever do for me!).

Many of the runners are from the E-Sports Federation, which SGall(the major community), hated because it was a BW community as well as it being very pro- BoxeR and Slayers. Its sense of superiority (Kespa> Federation) is heightened by the fact that the Federation failed to dominate the BW transitioned players from Kespa, even though they had much more experienced players.

PlayXP, on the other hand, tends to remain pro Federation, due to the fact that their SC/SC2 community was differentiated from each other, and don't often use the terminology 'runner'

Conclusion: don't try to explain what you don't understand


Well that is just as dumb, because he was top8(lost to the champion) in the gsl as well as top4(lost to the champion) in the first hots tourney(with quite alot of kespa in it)as well. So saying that he could not make money anymore in korea as he left is pretty dumb imo. The time were he slightly started to fall behind was when he lived in EU for a while.

Exactly. He ran to EU for easy money and he lost his skill. The idea is that if the Federation was good as they claimed, they should have dominated the first hots tourney, because they have years more experience than the Kespa players (actually transitioned after 2012). MC making it to the Ro4 and then later leaving for foreign lands gives some people the impression that he "ran" from quickly budding competition.

Be the champion we know you are MC. I can't wait to see you dancing on the main stage holding up the trophy.
