Can't be JangBi if the above part of Stratos quote is correct.
Where does it say he no longer coaches? The 20th February entry says he became a coach + well, he was an KT bench in the PL semis, so his retirement now would be even more unlikely that Fantasy leaving.

Of course, this doesn't mean 100% or anything like that but does mean that there is a higher possibility of having retiring.
I don't know what they're thinking, FanTaSy is the ultimate Proleague finals bonjwa. Even when people criticized his shape at the time of the games, he pulled wins out of nowhere.
Problem is that you're considering that from the BW perspective. His SCII performance doesn't really stack from what I hear though his vZ is supposedly his best mu. As it stands, I believe the terran race is considered weakest in SCII right anymore and they are getting buffs so that can only help him. SKT is also now loaded with crazy good players. Soulkey, Rain, Parting, soO have all achieved more than Fantasy has (and I believe there are more I've forgotten lol). Also, Classic won a GSL like SK and soO made it to and lost 3 GSL finals in a row LOL so better than Fantasy. Rain is quite the solid defensive player and Parting has been rock solid as well and is Flash's achilles heel from what I've read. I dunno how much has changed in the past several months though since I don't watch SCII anymore. To top that off, Fantasy hasn't even made Code S (I think he's in Code B now >.>) so ya, I doubt he'll make the lineup anytime soon if he stays in SKT. Rumours are he'll switch to the prime team since he'll have a better chance of playing PL (and it would explain the sc2 still in his name) but who knows.
If Dark didn't made it to Code S (imo hes another average zerg) fantasy could have replaced him in the lineup (and hes going against action which fantasy could have a good chance against)
but I doubt SKT knew that KT would put action on that map lol so we can't say they would've put Fantasy out. Either way, there were better SCII players than Fantasy which is why he's out of the lineup and sadly, doesn't compare to his BW glory days. I'm sure he feels it as well like Bisu before him (though Bisu was worse lol).
I'm so out of date with the indie BW revival scene, I just want to see all the top players that retired from SC2 to return in one great coordinated Starleague.

unlike BW where the best koreans are near untouchable, anyone at the highest level can take games off anyone. fantasy may not be the best but with a proper strategy he can still win a BO1 against any of the strong KT quartet of Flash/stats/baby/zest, more so if its any any other KT players.
fantasy have not been in the lineup throughout the current proleague indicate that he might not have been in the proper mindset for some time and have been thinking of leaving SKT, not because of ability. (in the previous proleague fantasy didn't perform badly either) Plus Dark have been a good form making it to Code S. although he has dropped down already.
Although if he's playing on Afreeca now, I guess he wouldn't technically be "never having streamed Afreeca before"...
That is a question one Korean netizen asked and another replied with the same conclusion. Love didn't elaborate. Last has been streaming on afreeca so if she wants to stay true to her announcement he shouldn't be one of the TBAs. If you consider she has 8 TBAs already it's not like she's in dire need of another name. Ultimately we'll just have to wait and see. I would love to see Last play in this anyway.
I don't think she did. And I don't think she'd play considering how busy she is. But who knows, with this amount of anons it's clear these guys have some connections or awesome terms to offer.
Another update: 1 more TBA, with like 100 wins in Proleague. Any guesses?

I don't think fantasy will retire, he's not fielded often in PL but that is because protoss and zerg are just the better races and SKT's line-up is incredibly stacked. Sorry ^^. Curious to see the players announced

the latter is the reason but i still maintain fantasy could have replaced dark in the finals lineup, if not for mentality issues.
In the previous season, we already saw some new faces (like (Z)Jy) make their debut but this time Love already promises us eight new ex-progamers who neverstreamed on Afreeca.
Can't be JangBi if the above part of Stratos quote is correct.
is Jy the zerg player that got nuked rushed by casy ?

This makes 3 TBAs for each race.
Is this inculding Winner's League? I think fanta could be around 100 wins (perhaps slightly above) in regular Proleague. Otherwise it could be Leta I guess? Maybe some old schooler?
EPT
