Estro to disband
Translation by konadara

eSTRO, who was under IEG (International e-Sports Group), a e-Sports centered corporation, has dissolved.

KeSPA announced on the 12th that eSTRO will officially be dissolved. Thus, the team's players will be drafted into the remaining progaming teams.

IEG did not decide to extend eSTRO's operations in August, and from the middle of September, eSTRO's members have been living in an officetel (T/N: Korean term for an "Office Hotel", a type of hostel for working adults in cities, etc) and practiced in the Yongsan e-Sports Stadium (T/N: OGN's stadium), with the help of KeSPA.

As such, the former team's players will be given a chance to be drafted into the remaining teams. However, players who fail to be drafted will be waived, or realistically have to end their careers as progamers.

The method for drafting was not announced, but it is speculated that rankings and past performances in the 09-10 season will be involved in the drafting process. A method involving bidding is also in consideration.

Regarding this issue, KeSPA stated that "the dissolvement process has not be finalised", and that "all details will be officially announced through the press."

eSTRO's players are now: (T)Really, (T)Classic, (Z)hyvaa, (Z)Action, (P)Flying, (P)Grape, (P)Dear and another player for a total of 8 players for the Brood War side, while the Special Force team's draft details were not announced. Special Force players are said to be continuing their practice in a house provided by Dragonfly.

Source: Daily E-Sports

While the idea of a draft based on a team's finish last season had been floated, a system much like an auction has been selected to decide where the ex-Estro players will end up.

KeSPA will first set a minimum contract for the Estro players, where the bidding will begin. The minimum contract for a player is the average salary of all other players who performed similarly during the 2009~2010 season. The player will be contracted to the team with the highest offer.

Here's to hoping KT can pick up mafia zerg and strengthen their zerg lineup.

Wait, are they going first to last or last to first? Because giving an already-strong team the choice to get the best player really doesn't seem fair.

Any speculation on how losing 2 teams will affect the length of the seasons?

He explains in the second sentence that drafting will be done starting from the lowest ranking player.

well from what OP says, i'd say last to first. (see below) i'm very excited to see who goes where.

I hope the players can strengthen the weaker teams rather than the already top tier teams. GL to those involved.

I hope KT gets some good left overs, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

Well, if hite get to draft first, I guess it goes all to plan for the pro-teams.

hite - Action (need a Zerg)
KHAN - Really (need a Terran)
Hwaseung - Flying (need a Protoss)
Woongjin - Classic (need a Terran)

etc etc

Anybody else feel like the other players won't be drafted? Outside of Action, Really, Flying, Classic, and hyvaa the team was pretty weak.

Draft for the teams is to be ordered based on rankings of last year, lowest to highest (no idea how CJ-hite will be handled, as hite was 11th, CJ 5th IIRC).


"선수들의 드래프트 일정과 방법은 아직 알려지지 않은 가운데 지난 프로리그 09-10 시즌 성적의 역순으로 지명권을 부여하거나, 경쟁 입찰을 통한 방법 등이 논의되고 있는 것으로 알려졌다."

They're actually still trying to decide how they're gonna do it. what you have down is just one method considered.

This is all pretty interesting. As much as I love PL a good thing is this will reduce the amount of matches I need to follow given there are less proteams now. Hope they're all happy wherever they go.

I just really hope that the estro players stay in BW and dont exodus to SC2. And if khan get really i might go back to supporting khan. In form stork + really jangbi and great could be a pretty strong lineup. And if stork can fire maybe they can make it through the playoffs.

go khan!

I like the ranking based method best. A well-rounded pro-league is the best counter to predictable matches (with the exception of poor ACE). Then again, I feel sorry for the eSTRO players for splitting up.Proteams are a close knit group, if the interviews can be trusted.

If I was any eSTRO player I would strongly consider either retiring or moving on to SC2 (when the alternative is being chucked on to a new BW team all by myself...). Hope those of the eSTRO gamers who do want to continue playing BW can succeed on their new teams.
