Update: Apparently there was some slight miscommunication and it seems like the deal is not quite signed yet. KaiZi still seems to negotiate with PSISTORM/MaxPax, but is fully intending on signing him.

Original post: According to the owner of (Wiki)KaiZi Gaming, the Chinese team has signed Danish Protoss player (Wiki)MaxPax, who previously played for (Wiki)PSISTORM Gaming. The former GTC champions have to deal with the loss of (Wiki)INnoVation to military service and were down to just two players after the recent playoff campaign, which saw them take third place at WTL 2021 Summer.

Current KaiZi Gaming Roster:
(Wiki)Solar
(Wiki)TIME

The announcement was made on a stream by the KaiZi boss, I'll provide an official source once one is available. Meanwhile, here's a link to a thread on SCBOY where the move is being discussed.

The team only had players around the CN/KR/close region, so I'm very surprised
I'm just a cynical video game enjoyer who is probably unfazed by many business dealings many would find utterly distasteful, while not strictly illegal by the law as seen in a general sense in the world.

Holy F, Kaizi now still has the 3rd best Roster, I think, in the next WTL behind DPG and Team NV. Sending out MaxPax against other Toss player would be very nice move for the team.

Huh, seems like an odd move to pass on Gumi and Classic in favor of MaxPax, but it would make for an interesting lineup.
I wonder if Psystorm has someone else in their pocket, it's high time Neeb and Showtime jump into the fray.

Wow there realy is a lot of movement between the Team League teams in the off season.
Would be realy interesting, if the deal gets signed
It would defnatly feel like a next step up for MaxPax to get signed b one of the big chinese teams

Not if MaxPax uses his negotiating position well, I suppose. :D

Feels like an odd choice: they've historically gone for super reliable players, not up and comers. Plus wouldn't they want someone in Asia given continuing difficulty in traveling? But hey, MaxPax does seem to be consistently improving so what do I know.

Intriguing. Perhaps it’s a move with some continuation of the current, more international/online nature of the scene in mind.

Provided MaxPax wouldn’t be wanting to relocate of course, it’s less of a handicap picking up a foreigner when there’s more foreign-based players than there have been in previous seasons.
