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.

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!


$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.
Brood War has been a part of our lives for the last 12 years. No, we don't want change.

There are 6k active TL peeps! :D

I say we double it and give $20 a month! I'll even pay up front! hahaha

And if we need Maids? Can't we see if Mexico has anyone looking for cheap work?

(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.
