Uh, that's cause google translate sucks. Why would you put any weight onto Google Translate.

The article pretty much says this

The big korean corporation was one of the final candidates to buy Stars when Hanbit sold them back in 2008, but they didn't get it, Woongjin did. The company now wants to buy the team from this "Mysterious company" that is looking to sell it (from the OP of this thread).

Another hint to the big korean corporation who is going to buy the team is that they also run a professional sports team. That's about all the hints we have. We have no idea who is gonna sell the team yet.

But no it's not Stars stop spreading things please ;;

EDIT: Changed the wording so it doesnt create any more confusion

If we look at the professional leagues in Korea and establish those most likely to enter the e-Sports scene, I think we can narrow the mysterious companies down to;

I'Park, POSCO, Hyundai, Doosan, LG, Lotte

and then from there my guesses are

I'Park (Have the e-Sports stadium in their mall)
Hyundai (one of the largest chaebols in Korea, up with Samsung, KT and SKT)
Doosan (as above)
LG (I think they should have entered ages ago)
Lotte (Confectionary company linking with the younger generation)

So, basically a team is going to dissappear/change sponsors?

hmm, if we get 3000 of us TLers to give 10 bucks a month for 10 months of the year, that's a solid $300,000 to fund the Team Liquid Horses Wild SC team. We'd all own a very small fraction of the company and they would win all the time. We'd be millionaires!

Each day gets better : )

Isn't LG one of the world's biggest manufacturing companies? I'm with you GTR seems odd they don't own anything yet.

Hope it goes well, would be a shame to see gamers without a team. Also if its Sparkyz to be honest i'd rather they keep Leta and rebuild. It just seems a shame for a team to lose their ACE and most recognized player that gets them their fans in the first place.

my bet is on eSTRO for sucking
or maybe KAF doesn't care about gaming and will toss ACE?

edit: I'm and idiot KAF wouldn't sell ACE they would just disband

Lol that'd be pretty hilarious actually. It's like paying for WoW but less, and owning part of a pro gaming team at the same time for kicks and giggles.
