After negotiations KeSPA announced today that he has signed with KT Rolster.

Flash is the cake and KT would be an unsponsorable team of underdogs without him. Besides, it's the offseason, a month or two ago he was easily a top 3 terran and will be again once team houses are back in full swing for proleague. 3 consecutive Code S Ro16's is also pretty good for a player that's meant to be slumping. | ||

Its a good pick up but Jin Air really has an awful roster. I wonder what is going on or are they just leaving the SC2 team as just a bit of a lower level team intentionally? | ||

I'm not discussing Flash's status - how possibly could you extract that kind of sentiment from my original statement is beyond me - but rather pure skill at the moment. | ||

TY may very well match him in terms of performance and results if not outshine him. All this BaBy talk. I was tired of it back in BW. The kid has never truly lived up to the hype, ok? This pick-up by KT is lukewarm for me. We used to praise the guy all the time back in BW and he did well but he never really broke out back then and he hasn't really done anything noteworthy yet in SC2. With that said he's a solid performer, but considering teams are cutting their rosters down to the bare bones? I don't know. Long gone are the days where you sign a few big stars and then surround them with guys like BaBy. KT wanted another Terran so they got another Terran good for them, but in all honesty if the rosters were staying the same size I don't like KT's chances anymore than I did when the last PL season started. That's the truth and I'm sticking to it. | ||

Calling Flash a "cherry on a cake" player is very unfair. Until the time Stats and Violet stepped up and backed up Flash, the KT was a liability to Flash. He was known for being probably the most overworked player in KeSPA. Having to practice for two Proleague games per match, plus OSL and MSL, Flash was hardly sitting comfortably on top of a team able to support him. | ||
