Woah, this is huge. I was originally going to write both teams off since they lost so many key players, but now they might actually have a chance. They'll probably get crushed by stacked SKT and KT though.

starcraft 1 is really going down hilll....
estros gone
hite + cj
effort gone
rigged matches (a lot of players missing since then)
KESPA is going to run out of money soon

seems like this new Hite Entus will be the Anti - Flash team... if they train well... they
have pretteh good potential

CJ lost Effort, but picked Leta, Hogil and Horang2?

I dunno, CJ still seems weaker than before to me.

If Effort was still in CJ, I can expect KT and SKT fanboys to cry CJ imba. But...meh.

Effort...why did you have to leave?

EDIT: Whoever said anti-Flash team...LOL! It makes me feel even sadder about Effort.

CJ definitely needed someone to replace effort when he left, I guess this season will tell if leta will be the one who does. Good job by CJ, merging their teams together, because apart, neither team would do well in this upcoming season.

"hite entus" (omg such a lame name) is also going to make this PL very interesting now. SKT has lost the boxer/oov morale boost, woongjin's loss of mvp ( D: ), ace with a fresh batch of players... this is gonna be exciting! (as long as KTFlash doesn't destroy everyone in 2011)

Leta/Snow/Action/Skyhigh 0.o

Although I was hoping to see SKT1 pick up Action, that would be awesome too.

Hite Entus is a terrible, terrible name. However, the thought of Leta on the team makes me very happy... if only we still had Coach Cho, Effort, and Iris.

And of course, the one who will forever be in my heart...

This (the merger) is pretty fucking awesome IMO. The situation with the name really isn't that confusing. Since OGN and CJ are subsidiaries of the same company, CJ. They're just merging their properties into one, which makes sense. Also because they technically sold the naming rights to HITE for OGN Sparkyz they will need to name the team HITE _____, in this case HITE Entus. Look forward to seeing Leta/Snow/sKyHigh/Movie ~! If only EffOrt was still playing, this would be a sexy line-up.

EDIT:

Realistically, Sparkyz was done. People expected them to be worse than ACE next season. Also, one less (I guess technically 2 less) means that they pro league schedule will be less demanding, which will be great for the players, the teams, and potentially the situation between Gretech-KeSPA.

Although less teams sucks, I'm hoping that the cannibalisation of Estro makes a lot of the remaining teams stronger. Hopefully Estro remains though

. Teams always have a chance of growing from weak overall line-ups... but once they're gone, that's it.

Edit: This feels like a real slim-down, baptism by fire, tightening of the belt etc etc for SCBW. Even with all the losses, if it comes out alive and kicking, then I'll be happy.
