A few minutes ago, KZ.FIVE, the billionaire owner of the Chinese starcraft clan KaiZi Gaming leaks the big bomb in his streaming that KZ Gaming will introduce three talented players - Nice, Major, and Reynor - to fulfill their lineup for competing in CTC season 3.
According to the club owner, the deal with Nice and Major has already been done, while negotiation with Reynor is only one step from completion.

Wow tough luck for Gamers Origins but Reynor exploded so he was gonna be hard to keep anyways.
Since Reynor already went to Korea to compete it's much more likely that he accepts to go to a chinese team than Serral.

Nice to see Special find a team finally (no pun intended)

Major aka Special? Awesome! Hope they pick up Zest as well. Guess he is still teamless after OG disbandment

KZ signs Reynor mainly for CTC playoffs, but they also want Reynor to go to Korea or China for some time (e.g. at least 1 month a season) to participate in the online matches, that's the point where negotiation stays now.

Yep, that's Special, and I think there's little chance for Zest to find a CTC team since his military service is near and he is possibly not allowed to go abroad next year, the same situation for Stats as well.

I added some commas to the thread title so you wouldn't think there was a "mean" version of Major(Special) running around somewhere.

You could have changed it from Major to Special when you were already editing the thread title, you know

Also that means Nice is leaving TSG? Then their Protoss roster is really almost non-existent. He was their best Chinese (in CTC rules) player too.

TSG's boss Maxixi and manager Cloudy have a good relationship with KZ's owner, and maybe TSG wants to give more chances to UnderStar, the 15-year-old player from their youth academy as well.

Would be nice, if he could compete at GSL again. His first run there was pretty impressive allready and he has grown so much as a player since then.

How would they? I can t picture Serral leaving ENCE anytime soon.
And there are probably just a handfull of Koreans, that are evenly matched with those two and they are allready in one of othe other big teams. (assuming the TY rumor is also true)

I guess at the end of the day Nice got 3 map wins last season and that shouldn't be the difference for TSG between playoffs and not playoffs. Still hurts because I think Nice was one of the better Chinese players in the league.

They already have Dark, the owners of DPG are 3 moves ahead in this game of 4D Checkers.

In all seriousness DPG's team was way better than KaiZi before this so this is KaiZi trying to pull even.

Well DPG is probably the best team at the moment with Dark-Parting-(G)cure, but Kazi would at least be able to contest them now and have one of the deeper linups. Even though, I m not to sure how much Special could realy add against the heavy hitters. Probably mostly with snipe builds

I think most of us Chinese fans prefer to call him Major.After all,"Major" is a shorter word than "Special".

It wasn't confirmed in the OP that this major is THE Special we believe it to be lol. Better to be safe. Could be a Chinese player like MKP (fake boxer) who is copying the name of an epic Terran player. But alas, it was confirmed in the thread. Updated...

Lol that's 100% Special and u can fix this, I made a mistake cuz Chinese fans are used to calling him Major instead of Special.
