It seems that the trend of korean intrest in western esports is getting even stronger with FruitDealer and Trickster joining Complexity Gaming.

But unlike Rain it seems that they will still be competing in the GSL.

I thought trickster went to star tale? Honestly should just let complexity make the announcement officially imo

Wow, sick and unexpected. So they'll stay in Korea ? I think it can be good, I mean, Koreans seems very poorly informed about western opportunities (see the first nasl season 2 qualifiers where only one korean team seemed to knew of and they nearly all qualified for a 100k tournament with only beating weak opposition)

Yeh lol not sure how legit the site is.

I think FruitDealer had a salary with TSL? Wonder how much $ CoL threw at them.

If this is true, complexity has become the strongest team outside of Korea with the acquisition of Fruitdealer and Tester, along with the merge with most of Root.

WHAT!?!??? No way, this is awesome! I guess coL really wants to get some of the best of the best; I wonder how much incentive they gave and how everything's gonna work out with them still playing in GSL. Regardless, it's great how Koreans are realizing the potential and amazingness of the foreign community and how powerful SC2 outside of Korea is :D.

That's pretty strange if true, congratulations to Complexity for a pretty big signing that I wouldn't have expected if so.

Wierd i dont think this is a good idea for trickster or FD to be honest especially if they are going to stay in korea. They will have no one to practice with in person and no team house. Sounds like a terrible deal for them

I hope its startale and not COL

not to mention that they are leaps and bounds ahead in skill then anyone else on that team, meaning that no one on that team really has much to offer them.

I would say that CoL will fly them out to things like MLG and Dreamhack

hmm im not sure how legit this is especially considering in the NASL qualifier trickster signed up as startale trickster so we will have to wait for an official announcment from someone in coL
