Let's have some fun speculative news, shall we? There's some fun news about some top tier progamers swapping teams :O
- In Team A, there are two players, B and C who have joined the transfer market. These two players performed just as well this season as the previous season, but because their team did not make it to the post season, they received a salary cut. Because of this, they are looking to transfer to a different team
- Team A's Manager H had a different opinion during the salary negotiations with A team's main players, B and C. Because of this, he has revealed desire to retire. He argued that the players should get a raise, or even have the same salary, the Team strongly disagreed after revealing that they wished to cut their salary. Manager H, after his contract ended in August 31st, had left the team and has been resting at home. [note, original korean did not specify a gender]
Team A ended up being Samsung. B and C being Stork and Jangbi.
Samsung recontracted January and all their players.
- Team D is looking to recruit player B, and Team E is also looking to recruit player B and C. Meanwhile, Team F is even considering trading their team's Ace, Player G, in order to get player B. Team D is also looking to bolster their weakest race line up, as they are also looking to recruit player G, along with player B.
Team D was Woongjin. Team F is MBC. G is Sea.
None of this happened because Samsung recontracted.
- Team F, in order to bolster their coaching staff, is looking to recruit Coach J, who has coached in Team I before. They are currently negotiating.
- Team K and L are also looking to bolster their coaching staff.

Hrm....
If Team F is Hwaseung, then G is Jaedong or Hiya.
Teams with weak Zerg: KT, SKT
Teams with weak Terran: STX, Woongjin
Potential for Team A: Woongjin, Hite, Samsung, Estro (Teams that didnt make Post season)
Its not Hite since Hite doesnt have two good players. It's not Estro since Action wasn't good until later that year, and Estro is Team I
So, Team A is Woongjin or Samsung. Samsung has great, Jangbi, Stork. I can see January quitting over Stork and great.... hrm. If Woongjin, it'd be Free and Zero...
Apparently January showed up at Stork's match on 9/1. As a manager? Or just because she cares? If it's not January... then. hrm....

I'd think A is Samsung, who else didn't qualify for PO's and has 2 good players? It's either them or Woongjin, but Zero/Free aren't good enough for swapping aces for any team. But stork definitely is.

Wait, couldn't Manager H be Coach Cho, who retired recently? I don't know any others that have retired recently.. Oz didn't make post-season either..

Nope, cause F is likely to be Oz, and Manager Cho left before his contract ended.

Is this a language issue, or does the puzzle imply the manager is male?

Khan was in playoff in 08-09.
Seems like A can only be woongjin
wait is it they didn't make it to post season this year or in both?

Yeah but they didnt' make it this season, which justifies the paycut.
I honestly think A is Samsung, and B is Stork.

That's impossible.
We don't know who lives next to who, their favorite colors, or what kind of pet they own.
^_^

F being Oz is somewhat doubtful because I don't see them wanting to trade Jaedong for any reason ever. He's the only reason they ever were successful.

Hiya could be considered as an Ace too, though.
As I've said, F being Oz comes from the article that literally came right before this article, and it fits all the pieces.

*Wishful thinking* Team D being Hite, Player B being Stork and Player G being Jaedong 
EDIT: Unless they mean both Player B and G is of the same race...
|
Actually, I think A is woongjin and D is either SKT or KT, more likely SKT because their zergs just failed them in the PO's.
Woongjin almost made playoffs until their team kinda failed in the end. Zero is player B, C is free. If H is Oz, Jaedong is their ace. D wants to bolster their weakest lineup, which is zerg. Both players are zerg.
One big flaw in this reasoning is why would Oz trade Jaedong.

Well, thinking of the top 2 players per team and the ace player of each team would help. I listed what I think the Ace players are for all teams first, and then top 2 for the bottom 5.
SKT - Fantasy
KT - Flash
CJ - Effort
STX - Calm or Kal, not sure
Wemade - Baby
MBC - Sea or Light, both are same race anyways.
Oz - Jaedong and Hiya
Hite - Leta and..?
Stars - Zero and Free
eStro - Really and Action
Khan - Stork and Jangbi
Now team D wants to buy both Players B and G, one of the top two players of team A and an ace player of another team, so they both must be of the same race. If Kal is defined as STX's ace, then it makes Stork a possible Player B candidate. If Calm is the defined Ace, then it cannot be Stork.

Team A definitely seems to be khan.
Free and zero have pretty different win ratios and Stork Jangbi have nearly identical percentages from both seasons.
Great's win percentages are also quite different
Team D, in order to bolster their weakest race line up, they are looking to recruit not only player B but also player G.
Does the direct korean imply G and B are same race? If so then F can't be oz
F might be stx. They couldn't get through the playoffs so picking up another coach would make sense. Then G could be Kal and stx is looking to pick up stork

Stork seems to have disabled his twitter :O
his last message was quite emo and he seemed rather sad too
Stork player B theory is getting more likely imo
