Has anyone ever left T1, aside from going to ACE?
this is my quote.

July, but I don't know if you can even count that as a player left because he was there barely for a few months so he wasn't exactly someone they were dedicated on having.

Now that I think about it, what a huge mistake on giving the guy away, just after that he won OSL and (yet again) became a strong zerg to count on winning proleague matches.

OGN is always bringing ridiculous numbers of players to PL - I'm glad they're finally downsizing with the promotion of rookies like Horang2 and TazzA. Hwaseung really tended to bring a line up half the size of OGN to each match - when they played against each other it looked as though OGN had brought 2 teams instead of one (lol)

I remember seeing some decent games of Spear in PL way back when...like when 2v2s were still around. Nothing spectacular, though.

I have some inside information, the next player trade is gonna be (Z)Clay going to SKT1

I really hope that's true, SKT keeping up with their tradition of strong Zergs.

Spear is only going to make Hwaseung's Protoss lineup weaker, though. What's with these weird player trades that make no sense. Let's get a Protoss, which team should we look at? OGN, of course, duh.

For a very little money they're hoping for a small chance of him becoming something, remember even Flash was bought like this from WeMade before becoming a huge star.


Flash was in WeMade before KTF ? Source ?

Maybe they think that if spear was given some tips by lecaf's current toss line then he could grow into something really useful. I dunno what protosses he could've really been mentored by in ogn. Except perhaps zeus hyung

OZ doesn't have any protoss players that could really mentor him either, unless Anytime comes back to OZ. Backho and Young both need mentoring as well.
Go SaviOr and Stork!

What the hell, is there really a point in buying such players? Well they know what they are doing but.. it's been quite long time since some really big trade was made. Bisu probably?

I think its more that Oz saw some kind of potential in Spear. It's worth the speculation to grab a player on the odd chance that he might become a star like Flash did for KTF.

It's sort of like the MLB when a team trades for prospects. They trade for prospects because they hope that the prospects will become great players in the future.

Wow, i've never heard of him, but he beat GoRush, Savior, and Iris back to back to back............................... although all 3 were old or slumping i suppose. Guess it gives Oz an average number 3 Toss player, maybe they suspect Backho will get injured again.

imagine if flash were still on wemade. he, mind, and nada would make for the sickest terran lineup....

as for spear, maybe he's a really good practice partner, but never performs well in competition? or maybe jaedong just needs more flesh to feed upon in order to dominate the osl and oz figured they'd rather buy a new (useless) player than lose one of their own?

Why did ArtofTerran move to hexatron? I imagine the salary on SKT1 was far superior.

ArtOfTerran moved from Samsung to Hexatron.

I believe he was referring to kOs (because he wouldn't accept a pay cut so he left and joined eNature/eSTRO, he sucked anyway).
