If they were like pro athletes in mainstream sports earning a huge wage that would keep them comfortable for a long time, then it might at least be an interesting philosophical argument, but trying to shame players like these as running away from the most difficult competition just because they want to maximize what they can earn (or potentially earn) from their very short windows as SC2 pros is just too unsympathetic I want to see the best compete with the best, of course, but at the end of the day, most SC2 pros are barely adults who haven't done their military service, haven't gone to college, and don't really stand to gain any tangible long-term benefits from the years they have dedicated to entertaining us. There is a lot more money to be made in the foreign tournament scene than in the impossibly difficult domestic scene, so transferring to a non-KeSPA/foreign/"lower-tier" team that is willing to give them more opportunities to play for that tournament cash is just pragmatic.If they were like pro athletes in mainstream sports earning a huge wage that would keep them comfortable for a long time, then it might at least be an interesting philosophical argument, but trying to shame players like these as running away from the most difficult competition just because they want to maximize what they can earn (or potentially earn) from their very short windows as SC2 pros is just too unsympathetic

Im not blaming them. But blaming league institution. Grand final is for better player right?? But because of runner, foreigner's opportunity is getting smaller and GF is not for better player. Is this really right thing??. I really dont care about how much they earn. But GF should be composed with many gsl players. Im not blaming them. But blaming league institution.

So much talent. qq

This is why you're awesome TB, helping out players who aren't in your own team. Hopefully TRUE takes this GSL one step further than he did last time.



I hope a team picks him up soon he's such a creative Zerg.

Smart move. Should be a win win situation since you get a top player to practice with too. Smart move. Should be a win win situation since you get a top player to practice with too.

Very awesome of you TB to let him stay with your guys for a little while. I was worried that without a real practice house he wouldn't last in GSL Very awesome of you TB to let him stay with your guys for a little while.

Foreign teams' demand for korean players has gone down quite a bit over the past ~6 months, unless you are very popular or very very very good there is almost no chance to get picked up by one of them. In my opinion True is neither very popular nor at the very top. He is pretty good right now, which makes him an expensive player, but still has to prove himself.

RookUK Profile Blog Joined August 2012 United Kingdom 283 Posts #115 This is pretty horrible news for Jin Air in my view - TRUE has become a genuine heavy hitter recently so he's a big loss.



I really hope the team picks up a couple of quality players and bulks up a bit because Jin Air is just too lean right now.

Correct. Not many tournaments offer flights and those that do are doing so in heavily stacked qualifier formats in which only the winner of the qualifier gets flights covered. Flight expenses are a massive part of team budgets, particularly since they are so unpredictable. Correct.

Perfect win-win scenario. TRUE gets some quality training and hopefully a good run in GSL. Axiom gets a fresh perspective from a former Kespa zerg. Love to see what Impact learns from him.



I hope he catches on somewhere soon.

I'm curious how it happens. Did you have some connection with the player before? Were you the one who proposed him to come to your house, or did he ask you? I'm curious how it happens.
