SKT and KT have had their founding coaches and staff sacked and did very well soon afterwards. I believe Oz had their founding head-coach sacked too.

If Calm gets traded to SKT, I wonder if mustaju would implode...

Yeah this has got to be AWFUL for player morale in the STX house.
Kind of a dumb move to put EVERYONE up for trade, especially when you announce it publicly like this.

Sorry, SC2 is a different game and clearly BW players aren't compatible with it by nature, so this doesn't make sense at all. :D

Giving a guy or two away to switch things up wouldn't be so terribly bad if the core remains the same. Putting my guys on T1 and putting those T1 dogs on my team would be criminal though.
I might be going back to Sparkyz soon. ..Why do they always fuck with things I like....

actually I kinda like this, It's cool to finally get some movement in to the player market.
I mean, has there been any big transfer in the last couple of years? Maybe Light, but who else?
My only fear is, that it will end up just like when estro got disbanded and SKT/KT just buy/trade all the good players (s2 for Calm?).

15 pages and no mustaju?
SOMEONE CALL 911 I THINK HE'S DEAD!!
in all seriousness tho, Calm should switch place with Fantasy and I believe it wouldn't affect the scene one bit ...

This is an interesting idea to try to roll the dice and get a better team, but it's also bizzarely terrible for morale.

Oov would have no one to coach, Calm would slip into obscurity and Fantasy would probably suck a whole lot more in the tournament scene. :>

no, old coach cho retired (he had a hot wife as well, can't blame him). their new one was the old performance coach (and ex semi-pro, fighter[name])
but yes, kt (and wemade/pantech) are the two teams most notorious for their merry-go-round of head coaches.

Sparkyz. Also, it wasn't exactly a transfer, but the scandal was kind of an earthquake on the scene.

That honestly might make me quit following BW.

It's inevitable that some BW players will switch to SC2, but I don't think it will have much to do with these player trades.
I can actually imagine Tossgirl switching - in that interview several months ago, she sounded so jaded. Either that or retiring.

yea I really feel like STX just needs a new coach, not different players 
not only do many STX players choke and sporadically slump, but STX seems to get sniped a lot more often than other teams (IE the coach is bad at making a lineup). plus as mentioned that whole dumb bench fiasco last year :\

Cool. Maybe they'll actually get non-worthless players now.

OK this really got me.

wow... this really sucks for the bw scene. Pretty fucked up that they would do some shit like this :s.

Realistically, this is just crazy on STX's part. While it has never been top tier, it has never actually been BAD. It has made it to proleague playoffs countless times. While it's obvious that some changes need to be made, putting every player up for grabs is just going to piss the players off, especially since the other teams are going to be hesitant of releasing their own players.
If a trade were to be made, I would guess Classic, Shuttle would be traded out.
While it's not likely to happen, I'd actually want to see a lot of trades being made just to shake up the teams we have right now. It would be interesting to see these unorthodox teams being made. And while we're at it, why not switch up the coaches too ?
