Wouldn't StarTale still want him representing them? Have you guys talked to them about this? Just interested if you worked something out or not. :/

I felt bad after seeing Torch fail again, seeing his slightly disappointing performance in GSL1. Failing a GSL twice in a row must be very heartbreaking, regarding dreams and stuff... but wow he got recruited by ST! Who would have known! I'd have to say i'm jealous ^_^

Nice Torch! Live the dream! xD

Yeah, seems very weird that he would represent another team outside of Korea...

Nothing is concrete, but it was mentioned as a likely possibility by ST.

lol that GSL3 interview with artosis, torch was pitching VT hardcore so this is definitely a surprise. I'm also surprised torch is the first non-korean to join a korean proteam. Not saying he's bad or anything but there are so many better non-koreans imo.

but of course congrats nonetheless.

I did just realize though poor VT they had like some of the best players but they all left for sponsorships or something and still seems to be happening to them .

I know you guys said Torch will still represent but I don't see how startale would agree to that but who knows ^^.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Congrats to Torch and props to ST for some clever forward thinging. He will be a great rep, is very eloquent and he has done very well as a rough diamond. Given a few weeks of honing down with some Korean practice partners he could have a lot of potential.

Maybe it's possible that Startale let him in to train ( similar to a practice partner) but not recruiting him per se.

Thus, he might still be a VT-Gaming member who trains in the Startale house.

Gonna have to wait for official confirmation i guess.
