oh man, that really sucks. I was hoping Kal would stick it out a little longer in STX and see if he could un-slump . IT WAS ONLY 8 MONTHS AGO HE WAS A TOP 5 PLAYER! Hopefully ACE will do for him what it did for FBH though and he'll be better than ever.

what will happen to the player that doesn't get picked up by ACE? just retirement and going to military? :\

Pretty much, yeah. The player will just end up serving their mandatory time in the military.

Sign up to be a gamer and end up with real army gear. Ironic.

KaL is an amazing player... Ace would simply be lucky as hell to have em.
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

with all due respect to pure, it would be an absolute tragedy for the BW scene to completely lose one of the most entertaining players of the era, as well as one of the more influential (in recent times at least). please ACE, TAKE KAL

Why cant ACE take both?
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Please don't speak like that of anybody.
Every player is essential to BW.

Are you really a fox fan?

more of just a shine fan

i could never like protoss :/

but you're right, i shouldn't talk like that. pure still needs to get his act together though. maybe if he does get into ACE he can work something out.

yeah especially given the fact that a protoss player who has been in the similar slump has basically just + Show Spoiler +
won a Starleague.


I'm thinking of putting an ACE icon for the next season Because I don't know for what team else to cheer.. with all this uncertainty where the disbanded teams' players will go, I can only be fan of some players, but who knows what the teams will be like...

Ace = firebathero+Iris+great+Kal... hmmm really impressive lineup.
For the Swarm!!! Jaedong & Neo_G.Soulkey fan.

Why can't both of them go? I don't understand, it's not like ACE has Stork and Bisu already.
