I can share a little bit more, it's not so much that it was a problem with his English as his English is perfectly fine to play in a top team. It's more the style of communication we have in our team. Its very fast paced and chaotic and it's not easy to integrate people in to that, even with the best English. So we felt that he would benefit a lot more from a more structured team with clearer comms.
We were comparing him with Monsteerr at the time whose personality and style of communication was very similar to our existing members and just made more sense as an overall pick for us.
