Although it's possible with stx looking to trade their whole roster, Kal has been informed internally that they don't see him as part of stx's future. And rather than getting traded around and join a team he might not like, he rather goes to ACE.

Because he seems kinda young for ACE.

Surprising that it needs to be a choice between the two. Both are fine protoss.

Don't know you can say that about Pure, his PvP can be decent, but here's a list of his wins in non-mirrors this past 12 months:

2-1 vs Chavi in MST prelims
1-0 vs Alone in proleague
2-1 vs hon_sin in MST prelims
2-0 vs SonGDuri in MST prelims
1-0 vs Skyhigh in proleague
2-0 vs SonGDuri in MST prelims again

Kal could definitely use a revival in ACE.

I think its due to Fox being disbanded and STX putting their lineup on sale. Kal and Pure became benchers and it is not surprising that they have fewer chances to be a admitted to some other team and getting a chance to play. So they chose the easy way to stay in a rooster.


Maybe to a certain degree. But both of them will have to do their military service eventually maybe they both see it as the time/opportunity to finish it while still playing BW while the opportunity (ACE) still exists. (

I think people should be aware of the "ace aura", people who has been mediocre or even second string usually find themselves with a sudden boost of relevance in ACE, examples include Ruby, FBH, ggaemo, piano, peace, etc

If I'm not mistake, both of them were born in same year (1990). I wish if both of them were accept to ACE. But next season, ACE will look different.

By the way, thanks for the news nitdkim.
Learn,live and love it.

I've lost all respect for pure after that abomination of a game against Leta in I believe an MST. It was one of the worst things I've seen from a protoss perspective in a PvT.

Kal on the other hand I have no idea what happened. The guy's not that old as he came onto the scene very young. He has had a lot of success for a long timer, was even part of the 6 dragons back in 2008-2009. Was protoss of the year last year. And then just fell off the face of the Earth.

But overall, Kal >>>> Pure even if he just doesn't care anymore.

Maybe Pure/Kal will have the ggaemo/FBH effect and suddenly improve a lot.
I don't need luck, luck is for noobs, good luck to you though

neither of these particularly surprise me. should hopefully regenerate ACE's protoss line. tbh really surprised that Midas isn't doing the same, he's what, 24 now?

Midas has a.. condition. I doubt he has to go to military, so he can take it easy, or well, as easy as he can with the disbanding problems.


What's wrong with Midas?

I'm afraid that if Kal gets accepted, that Pure will end up retiring :<

I hope Kal can rediscover his form in Ace, maybe the special training routine of the team would fit his style.

Still, it's weird to see the youngest dragon join ACE first - actually, he would be the youngest player on the entire team if he ended up being picked.

All in all, ACE has always been a team very close to my heart, this year they made awesome progress with FBH, Ruby and Iris, and I'm looking forward to seeing great and Kal there. ACE fighting!
BW fighting!

Brotoss to ACE, I'm down with that.
Something happened to him and he obviously wasn't enjoying himself. Those interviews were painful to read and he's one of my favorite players.

His PvT is one of the most entertaining ways of playing I have ever seen.
His PvZ, when spot on was just brutal and his PvP was absolutely phenomenal when he was on his game.

I just don't know where that game went.

And Pure can take a leap. I don't know what it is about him but I could not care less what he does or where he goes.
The mystery of life is not a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. **Hang in there STX fans!! Kal Hwaiting!**

Ace is fucking stacked. If FBH can teach kal and great how to stop slumping and be awesome ace could actually get close to .500.
