Startale...Time to worry about this?

I know that looks totally nonsense to most of people.
But I really like the team and Bomber especially, so this troubles me.

Here's something worries me.
1. Bomber's been staying in his home, instead of Startale team house since Dec.12(or maybe earlier, but he starts streaming from home since that day, and is still there currently).
[image loading]

2. There's an invitational tournament in China in Jan.3~7 2014 called ECL, this tournament is mainly sponsored by Red Bull.
The original post(in Chinese) about ECL(in Dec.10) announced that the invited players includes Life and Aphrodite.
But 15 days later, another official post (in Chinese too) says that it's now MMA and SuperNova instead of Life and Aphrodite.
The tournament's prize pool is quite considerable(10000 USD for the champion) and during that period of time there's no other matches, so I don't see any reason that they are not going. Except something goes wrong with the team.

3. Bomber forfeited the IEM Sao Paulo qualifier. I don't have the screen print but I do remember that he mentioned in his stream chat before that he's going to attend this. And all in a sudden, he forfeited.

4.Bomber changed his battle.net accound ID (NA Server) from "STBomber" to "Bomber" today. .
This is quite weird too because he's been using this for a long time, at least 2 seasons.

I know it looks stupid, and I do hope it's all nonsense since Startale is my favorite team, and Bomber is my favorite player.

Edit: I think this has something to do with Bomber.

According to the player's handbook of Blizzard:
AM/EU Ladder Wildcard: players with 200 wins on the region’s host ladder (“Americas” server for WCS America and “Europe” server for WCS Europe) in this or the past season will be eligible to compete in Ladder Wildcard Qualifiers for all remaining spots without meeting any residency or citizenship requirements.

And Bomber's been playing NA ladder for exactly 201 wins.

****
Startale forever.

nice detective work.
you've definitely got my antennae up.

also, do not repeatedly call yourself "stupid".
your observations are just as valid as any one else's.

Makes sense. Not really much reason for them to exist with no GSTL and not being in PL.

KT_Life please?

And actually, match history shows that Bomber played some 2v2 with PartinG on Christmas day.
Even if that's only for fun, I see no reason he picked PartinG rather than his other teammates. Just think, that SKT does somewhat need a strong terran...

I'm not sure.

1: No ST players have changed their Twitter names yet (this has been a very accurate way to tell ahead of time if a team is going down or if players are leaving/have left a team)

2: I haven't followed very closely, but as far as I know they're still playing in the Iron Men Cup as StarTale and I've not seen or heard of any of the ST players reaching out to other teams. This doesn't necessarily mean anything because as we've seen some teams can keep quiet, but you'd think that if a team that currently houses 5 high Code A/Code S players was in major trouble (more trouble than usual), someone would have heard something from someone

3: None of the ST players I talk to have mentioned anything

4: Both Life and Curious participated in the IEM qualifiers. If Bomber forfeited because ST wouldn't be able to send him, it stands to reason that Curious and Life would do the same

Now, we don't have any significant evidence to prove anything, but a lot of this seems like coincidence that's up for interpretation. I wouldn't (want to) worry just yet

Bomber and PartinG are probably still pretty good friends from PartinG's ST days, so I don't think this indicates anything.

I support this because it implies Fantasy isn't good.

Hm, interesting detective work.

Though, if Bomber left his cam at the teamhouse, it would stand to reason that he plans to return at some point.

Do Koreans take a Christmas break? I know some parts of Korea are Christian...
