Free Agency Period Starting Soon? - Page 3

Potential Losses: sAviOr, Iris, Much
Needs: There isn't much that CJ needs right now. Even if they lose one of those three, they have a solid or developing replacement in the wings to take over. Much seems to be the most likely to go, and they may want to pick up an experienced Protoss, but there aren't any that they'd be able to snag in the free agency.
Best Fit: None


Potential Losses: Tester
Needs: eSTRO needs a superstar to really gear them up. Right now, they consist of a bunch of mediocre players, no one person stands out. With Tester going, they might want to pick up a leading Protoss, but they've got two good ones in SangHo and NonY coming up. They should just focus on grooming someone like the young Really to develop into a possible star.
Best Fit: None


Potential Losses: Luxury
Needs: KTF needs one thing: a Protoss. They desperately need someone to fill that void, as their young guns just aren't developing. There's plenty of Protoss talent in this field, but not enough is going to move. KTF is going to have to go big on this one and chase down either one of the marquis players (Stork, Bisu, free) or they're going to have to settle for someone like Much or Pusan and hope their guys develop.
Best Fit: Pusan - A replacement that won't break the bank, but will be competitive and around for more than a year or so.


Potential Losses: None
Needs: Lecaf's strong race is Terran, where they have fOrGG, Lomo, HiyA and captain Dongrae. They're also fine at Zerg, where they can pitch out Jaedong every match. Their biggest hurting point is Protoss. They have the offensive GGer himself, FailHo, and that's it. BackHo is a decent option, but they've got no fallback if he slumps. Young hasn't proven himself useful yet and there really isn't much more there. With Anytime gone, they need to acquire someone to back up BackHo. Not necessarily a superstar, but someone solid.
Best Fit: Much - A solid, second string/alternating starter to buy some time while they develop a younger player like InteR.Young


Potential Losses: Pusan, Sea, Saint
Needs: Lets face it. MBC will NOT be able to secure all three of those players, and that's their bread and butter right there. They already lost Thezerg earlier this season, so they're shallow at Zerg, and odds are a team like KTF will be able to buy out Pusan, or someone snags Saint. The only guarantee they have is Sea's going nowhere. The problem is, I don't think they have the power to replace these guys. They might get stuck with someone like JiHyun.
Best Fit: Keeping their guys - Otherwise, they won't have the power to lure some of these heavy hitters away


Potential Losses: Zeus, YellOw[ArnC]
Needs: OGN needs depth to their lineup. They're also lacking a solid Protoss. With Leta and Yarnc carrying the team right now, they can't afford a departure of Yarnc without filling the gap or snagging a top-tier Protoss. They need a fix and a fix now, and they'll probably have to cut someone like Zeus loose to do it.
Best Fit: Saint - Although it's improbable that they get him, he's a young Zerg who can help shoulder the load with Leta.


Potential Losses: Stork, TT, JiHyun, firebathero
Needs: KHAN needs a solid Zerg. great doesn't seem like he has the moxie to cut it and they need someone they can rely on as a consistent starter. They're lucky in the fact that there's plenty of Young talent at the position. KHAN could easily snag a Yarnc or a Calm or a Saint if they so choose. Cutting JiHyun and TT loose wouldn't hurt the process, either.
Best Fit: Calm - A solid young Zerg who can also step into the pressure of an ace game if need be.


Potential Losses: Bisu, Midas, Canata
Needs: T1 needs a lot, really. They need a Zerg and a steadfast Terran wouldn't hurt either. Their Zerg department has been shaky at best and could use another addition - it seems that Thezerg didn't cut it. Their Terran lineup as well hasn't been all that great outside of fantasy. Dumping Canata and dishing Midas are two very likely things for T1, as well as picking up someone to bolster the once Terran powerhouse.
Best Fit: Saint and Iris - Saint would be a great addition to their Zerg lineup and would provide a spark. Iris, although is unlikely to leave, could provide another option to go to in order to let the stress off of fantasy and BoxeR.


Potential Losses: SoO, Hwasin, July, Calm
Needs: STX doesn't need much actually. Hwasin is slumping right now, but that's not a terrible problem. The biggest need will be a replacement for Calm, but they have a strong B-Team lineup ready for Action as well. Of course, securing Calm would be ideal, but it's highly unlikely that they'll be able to do that.
Best Fit: None


Potential Losses: Rock, NaDa
Needs: Another team that's in the market for a quality Zerg player, but they could use a Protoss while they're at it. Again, I don't see them snagging one of the big 3 Protoss on the bench, but they could be in the running for a Much or a Pusan. Honestly, there's no need to keep Caveman Toss around any longer, and disposing of him wouldn't be a bad idea.
Best Fit: Much/Pusan or Saint/Calm - Pusan and Much would be great opportunities for improvement, while Saint or Calm would give them a reliable Zerg player for the time when RorO and keke stop winning.


Potential Losses: free, GGPlay, Max
Needs: Woongjin is perhaps the one team in the market that is looking for a Terran and a Terran only. They need one desperately, as their best options right now are MVP or PianO. They're actually in luck because there should be a dumpoff sale by T1 and they should stumble into a Terran or two.
Best Fit: Midas - A usually solid all around Terran who may need a change in scenery who can start automatically and fill in a gap.
