At this point, I am 99% sure it's Estro.

I am sure STX would accept Really with open arms. Action should find an employer easily.

No idea about the rest of Estro. Flying, Classic and Hyvaa should make good practice partners though.

An ideal situation is that the unnamed company buys Stars and merge it with Estro's top players when Estro disbands. The result is a very competitive team.

$300,000 doesn't even cover their salaries. There's also food, lodging, maids, and transportation.

Yea wtf, boxer and those guys didnt have salaries. Their salary is that they get to live for free playing starcraft, then they pay us back by winning tournaments. There has to be some _in_ before some out.

Maids? Yea fuckin right. 300 grand is more than enough to have a small team a year. There is no way rent would be more than 100,000 dollars for a pretty ballin place with amenities, the scrubby players cook the food and do that banal shit. 7 players and a coach (maybe!) that's 100,000 for food a year, then 100,000 for whatever stuff you can think of.

gogoogogo! It's all about grassroots.

Well you pretty much just took the salary of the top paid players, who are/were at the time the salary was disclosed pretty much the best players around.

Thats like saying you cant run an NBA team on $24 Million because thats what Kobe alone gets paid. Timberwolves run on like 30 million total payroll.

(i know its a bump, but thought it'd be better to post here than make a new thread)

Confirmed to be eStro. They closed down the dormitory and practice house last month. All of the players have had their contracts terminated and have returned home.
