Yeah this made me a little curious too. Any backstory?
No idea why. He was an SKT trainee. Anyway, this has happened before at drafts.
Edit: Okay, according to Fomos, Coach Park said that Yourosia could not adapt well to the team or harmonize well with the players so that's why he requested to give up his nomination by SKT.
I bet it also has to do witb being able to actually play on proleague :p

I just like this cos it might indicate Samsung is taking a larger role in the whole esports sponsorship thing. Samsung is a MASSIVE company, but their capital contribution to khan seems to have been pretty small compared to the 'richer' teams so far, hopefully this means more power to khan :D
well... i guess now SKT could play 5 tosses at once. i don't know what the real situation is, but it really seems that a new terran would be better, than a new toss.

HiyA wants a lot more salary than a random rookie costs.
I'm not surprised he turned down SKT, there's almost no chance he'd get any play time with their line-up. Surprised they picked up Requiem though, since Bisu and Best (as much as I dislike him) make SKT's Protoss line stronger than any other barring Khan.

Their licenses are valid for a few years. Not sure how many. If you're not successful at your first draft, you can try again. But you have to take part in the subsequent Rookie League tournament(s). There are a couple other criteria to fulfill but I'm not too clear on this.
