In a phone call with Daily e-Sports on the 20th, STX SouL's manager Kim revealed the team's intention to put their entire roster, the A Teamers to the B Teamers, up for trade in the market and take an aggressive stance in replacing their players.
Manager Kim said that the issue was already settled with their sponsored company, STX. Every player, from the aces to the practice partners, are up for trade. They will be initially pushing for a player for player trade. STX will be negotiating trades with various teams until August 10th. They are already negotiating with other teams for trades.
Any players who do not get traded will be recontracted to STX.
Manager Kim noted that "A massive number of player trades, something never seen in e-Sports could happen, or this attempt to bring in a new team could also fail. But we all believe that we need to change like this in order for STX SouL to live."
Lol if this was true it'd be really funny to see classic and hyvaa go to another team again. "Why can't we stay on the same team for more than a year D: "
In all seriousness, this season has made Bogus the most valuable player to sell, while Calm and Kal went down in value. Oz should buy a decent protoss (KAL) while he's still such a low price and then hope Kal gets in his GOOJILLA mode next season.

We can hope, but then again, having Jaedong AND Kal on the same team, and considering the number of leagues Jaedong has knocked Kal out of ....
