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 receive a public notification for waver (T/N: No idea what this means?), 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. 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: Really, Classic, hyvaa, Action, Flying, Grape, 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. | ||

KT's already got a chin. Besides, w/ Flash around he'd never get to play anyway (like Barracks). | ||

Old: 12 teams * 11 matches each / 2 teams per match = 66 matches / 2 matches per day = 33 match days New: 10 teams * 9 matches each / 2 teams per match = 45 matches / 2 matches per day = 22.5 match days | ||
