Check-Six has just announced that Sleep is no longer apart of the team.

After 6 months with CheckSix, Seong Han "Sleep" Kim and the team have parted ways. Though having solid performances at all live events he attended while representing CheckSix, both parties felt that Sleep was not a great fit for the team anymore. We hope he enjoyed his time on the team, but for now he will be back living as a free agent in South Korea.


Here is a link to the rest of the announcement.

Bah. Too bad. Sleep's a great player though and will surely do well for himself. I'm sure there are a lot of people looking at him.

Honestly I expected this, xsix doesn't seem like the type of team that a GSL quality player would stay on since they seem like more of a team for up and coming players, not already established ones. Best of luck to sleep, hope he finds a team he can settle down with.

Sleep isn't a GSL quality player.

Sleep will find a better fit for him in no time. Hope he practices hard and starts showing better results, he's a solid talent.

What the hell goes through Sleep's mind? He left IM and SlayerS for a low tier foreign team. Did he not know anything about Xsix before joining it?

Sleep isn't a GSL quality player.


Am I thinking of someone else then? If so I apologize, but I swear I remember him being in code S about half a year ago? I believe when he was either on slayers or IM? I think he was on IM before slayers?

Heard Sleep wasn't participating with the team in much anyways, didn't practice etc. Gives xSix a chance to focus more on developing its talent like Suppy and new Korean player SeoHyeon. Good luck to xSix!

He was on both slayers and IM at different times, but was never in GSL.

Notable things I saw was 3rd at lone star clash.
He has ALMOST made it into Code A before.

Golden probably, he was on fOu and then SlayerS. Now he's on LighT. However, from what I've been told, he's very active with his team, unlike what Sleep and x6 were.

From what I've gathered, Sleep appears to be one of those mediocre Korean 'mercenaries' that try and find foreigner teams, expecting salary and to be flown around for tournaments, simply for the fact they are Korean and think they are better than all the foreigners out there.

I guess I knew that the Korean's had this sort of inflated sense of self worth (as I clearly saw from the NASL discussions: Koreans think that the foreign scene has money trees... and that most Koreans seeking to join foreign teams have absolutely outrageous salary demands: this is the reason a player like Sleep hasn't found a team yet) however I didn't know it extended all the way up to their business decisions.


Ok I apologize, for some reason I thought sleep was in code S at some point, which is why it was so hard for me to see him staying with checksix long term, since I can't see them offering the same kind of salary as TL or EG or the other big foreign teams that can afford to keep code S players around.
