Wow, and tbh I'm prefectly happy with the shape SKT is in right now, but I'd welcome shuttle and tossgirl if anybody. However Kal would get better with the SKT toss coaches. Also, Calm vs Fanta rivalry needs to stay.

All of STX traded for Flash. Just Flash, on his own for a season, STX will double their value in a year.

hopefully woongjin can pick up a 4th competent player so we stop relying on FREE and FATTIE to win us play-offs

on a more serious note however this looks much more like a normal off-season then usual thanks to this

Honestly imo, I think some people value Calm a lot more than he is worth. I mean I took a look at his stats and I watched a couple of games, and judging by the quality of the few people he has beaten and the quality of the games he played let alone won, I sure as hell wouldn't want him on my favorite team unless he was traded for absolute scrubs like Juni.

Bogus and Shuttle should be the top picks.

But at the end of the day, all I can see is STX being worse off. No one is gonna trade them a performer for one of STX's failures and they def. won't give anyone worth more than Bogus for Bogus.

So you get to PL playoffs, barely lose to KT who is still in, and you want to scrap your entire team?

I don't expect many of the players to actually be traded, but this can't be good on the player/coach relationships. And why are the players only being punished? Surely part of the blame has to fall on the coaches.

Was probably planned long ago by management. Whether the players knew or not is up to speculation, but I'd say they knew and were consulted about it.

Still, with the high-handed decision making that embodies these Korean mega-companies, it may be that the players were caught with their pants down.

In the end, this should be good for STX. It will at least send a message to its players - buck up or fuck off (because seriously speaking, STX's former top players have become quite mediocre)

Well, i guess STX won't be able to player-trade effectively in order to become a better team.
I mean they have 3 potential trades, Kal, Calm and Bogus.
Kal and Calm slumping hard, Bogus showing real promise.

I can't imagine a team risking trading for Kal / Calm.

I could see Woongjin taking a gamble on Kal. Their Protoss line is their weak spot right now. I could see Oz maybe showing interest as well. Protoss is hit or miss with them, I don't think Anytime has much left in the tank, and the rest of their lineup is still tbd. Bringing in a veteran presence can foster some growth there and he still has a chance of returning to form at some point/being a valuable role player.

MBC might give some initial offers for Calm, see what it's going to take - they'd be foolish not to. Khan will definitely make an offer, I'd bet big money on that.

FOX could make offers on either and potentially get an upgrade.

CJ's set in those departments, really (especially with EffOrt coming back soon). KT could try and pick one or the other up, but they seem committed to developing Stats/Action and don't have much to bring to the table. T1 should probably sit pat on those two.

While both are slumping, both have also showed some extremely high level play. Not for nothing, but STX at one point had 3 viable aces (pre-Hwasin being a scumbag) who were all high A-class players. These guys are both still capable of getting back to form, they just might need a Midas-type situation, where a change of scenery does them a world of good. It remains to be seen as to what the teams can swing here in terms of trades.
