http://www.scforall.com/news/news_view.asp?mNum=n02&articleNum=867&PageNo=1 EDIT: Excerpt On March 13th, the KTF MagicNs were able to acquire the 2008 Arena MSL champion, Park Ji Soo aka ForGG. This leaves the team with one more spot to fill for the 4th round of the Shinhan Bank Pro League 08-09 season, which just happens to be a Protoss position.   | ||

If Stork goes to KTF then well.. KTF becomes just about unstoppable.... Like... that trade would be so insanely expensive. Stork has slipped before and then come back to win an OSL, he's a fairly invaluable player. | ||

I picked Samsung as my team in the little bottom-right-of-post-box thing because of Stork. Since Stork is a free agent (has that gone into effect yet?), does that mean he would have the option to leave Samsung regardless of their wishes? | ||

You seem to be saying that it's OK to copy, as long as we give it away for free. That may be true with material under a Creative Commons license, but it's certainly not true most of the time. For example I cannot give away music simply because I am "doing it for free." EDIT: and didn't we get in trouble with Fomos at one point for translating their interviews? | ||

Just learn korean you lazy bastards, I mean how hard can it really be? And lets all move to korea so we can take out own pictures of progamers to use in a thread reporting the score of WL/MSL/OSL! There we can also get full access to the live TV. Also lets never link to a pro-profit site again so it can get its revenue![/sarcasm] | ||

But I can't think that they'd be so underfunded as to give away by far their most marketable player? I mean, Samsung is the largest company in Korea. And it's not like Khan has some up and coming protoss who can quickly take Stork's place. | ||

You do realize that you need more than one player to win in the proleagues, right? Khan is not a deep team. | ||

But I got the impression that it was more like the equivalent of Restricted Free Agency of American sports(where original team can resign provided they pony up enough money), rather than Unrestricted Free Agency(where the player can sign with any team for however much he wants). | ||

I really have no idea if it's restricted free agency or not. There really hasnt been much news on who's on the free agency list or how they plan to implement the system. | ||

I don't really like the thoughts of forgg going to ktf, I'd really like them to raise their own players. Oh well, I guess the only reason I was fine with them buying lux was because I like lux, not really sure I'd be happy with them buying any toss. Why can't lucifer just get good >_< | ||

Why can't lucifer just get good >_< Well OGN needs good zergs too for future, while having 2 good zergs doesn't give good training morale to other zergs (to get spot for proleague). But now only having yarnac and some other zergs the competition is better inside team. | ||

They can probably get a bargain for him, too, and if this is true I wouldn't be surprised if ForGG is part of the deal. FBH is more of a gimmick than an ace player, and you can't count on Frozean for any sort of consistency. JangBi and TT can hold down the Protoss lineup while youngsters are developed, and Khan's Zerg lineup has always needed development, though great is showing promise. Without Stork I think Khan would be pretty screwed for the coming PL rounds/individual leagues. JangBi/Stork are their only consistently good players there (though Stork sucks at PL at times). firebathero has been slumping pretty badly, FrOzean has always been mediocre, great is *OK* but he'd have a lot more pressure, and there's not many other zergs to share it (oDin? Chavi?). As for other Protoss players... TT? I don't think he's going to be helping out that much. yoOn got a three-kill vs eStro but other than that hasn't played a thing. Even slumping Stork/JangBi are still the two stars of Khan, if they gave either one of them up their second tier players would be under a lot of pressure and I doubt the team would have a good showing at all. If Stork does go to KTF though I think it may be the better decision for him, possibly having better practice partners in fOrGG/Luxury/Flash, and of course a bigger paycheck Keep in mind that whoever wrote that article was just speculating though, at the end of the article: KTF is officially in the process of signing a new Protoss player, although no name is currently known, it won’t be too big of a surprise if we see the MagicNs fly south for the winter to pick up “The BirdToss”. | ||

Well it's good to include at least a bit of info with the link provided, or else TL will become a bunch of one line posts with a title and a link inside and zero effort. That issue already happens quite a bit. But anyways, I don't know how you decided it Stork was going to KTF based on that link. Seems like a lot of speculation on your part and not the article. | ||
