Any chance it's CJ? Possibly related to Coach Cho's retirement? I really hope not.

banned from bw forever obviously

probably all players get FA status or somekinda modified FA



I can see in my mind, KT taking Jaedong and that huge clan war after every osl and msl finale when these guys face each other.


If KT or KHAN picked up Jaedong, it would bring up some pretty bad Yankees name calling.


KT, sure, they're famous for buying people. T1, ditto (Bisu, July), although they've gone away from that lately.

But KHAN? If KHAN picked up Jaedong, it would be their first big-name import... ever. As far as I know.

We could have Nony and Incontrol as coaches
We could have them travel to America for their vacations and have fan meetings
we could pay for them all to take english lessons, and then they could post on TL and realize that It's better than those korean communities (JK, I dont know for real)

If only there was enough money to do it

Its about the company, and a lot of people think it might be khan, but Samsung is a pretty big company and they're not in any risk of bankruptcy anytime soon. Think before you post. Its most likely hite, especially after the disastrous scandal that devastated hite.

Yeah I'm sure Nony and Incontrol would be great BW coaches .

I mean, this year's Finals had 30,000 people in scorching heat. Which was way more than last year.


Yes, but according to FOMOS, 30,000 is the second worst showing in history.

Which brings up the question...what is the final's TV ratings?

Heaven knows what company would be interested in taking over a starcraft team. It's too difficult to guess as the 12 sponsors cover a wide spectrum of businesses. The chance that Korean Air would sponsor one is small, so don't get hyped over it.

There were more last year. It was like 25,000 day one and 40,000 day two or something like that.

Lol no, SKT1 still has the monopoly on that.

Hmm.
List of teams are aren't disbanning due to income / company..
-SKT1
-CJ
-OZ
-MBC (MBC)
-Hite (OGN?)
-WeMade (2 most successful players in Wc3 and Bw (Nada+Moon))

Teams that I think could be.
-eStro (team wise, although perhaps the foreigners 100% team as for as connections)
-Khan (I remember January mad at Khan for their lack in practice)
-Woongjin
-Ace(? Probably not)
TBH listing those didn't do much for me as for all we know It could be Oz.. Well, my 2 favorites are probably going to survive KT+SKT1


There's no way Ace could "sell" their team, and it's government owned so you can rule Ace out. Khan is doing well, and they're backed by a profitable company. I would bet on either Hite because of the scandal, or or Woongjin. Estro has been the bottom of the bucket forever, nothing has changed.

it'd be a shame to see HITE go, after the scandal leta/horang2/hogil/etc won my heart over. really I'd hate to see ANY team go though.

15000 the first day and 40000 the second day, yeah. They counted the first day as a separate showing.

Even if Hite is OGN so to say, I'll bet that its Hite because the sponsors are looking to sell the team since its value went to hell after the scandal.

LOL

Anyways, my 2cents goes towards eStro, who's the only team (other than ACE) on proleague not to be sponsored by a major corporation. Sure, hite might be most likely, but they shouldn't be a issue because OGN can just pick-up the team again.

Haha but haven't they always been bad? Why sell now?

I guess after they showed some promise halfway through the season then ended up failing, it might have been the nail in the coffin...

P.S. nice new border :D
