I'd wait for an accurate translation, from all I could make out via internet translations, it mostly focused on "They will give their all at Blizzcon and HSC and are practicing hard"

I would create 10 different accounts just to watch him stream shirtless tbh
Stats won Olimoleague, I don't think I saw Zest in the brackets.
Also I giggle every time translation software translates TY's name to "former Sun".
It's around the sun for me.... hmmmm
I think it was confirmed somewhere that Stats is coming back next year, but as I don't have a credible source with me, I can't say much

Apparently Canata said during the Olimoleague stream that Stats will still be around.

Oh so it was Canata who confirmed that, great. We need as many player as we can get

Stats does seem active, I feel like he wants to keep going, even without Canata saying it.
Yeah Stats' activeness is the reason i am worried about the other guys^^
Zest and TY have never been big with online tournaments as far as I can tell and especially with Blizzcon coming up they may not want to show their builds so I don't think think them not being very active really means much.

Stats is at blizzcon as well. Dunno the negativity in me looks at this and sees two players who aren't motivated anymore. I hope i am wrong
Ya I guess maybe Stats doesn't mind showing builds. Apparently though the players have known for quite a while that their teams were disbanding and the 3 of them are still going to homestory cup so hopefully that means they are still motivated to play. I don't blame you though it is hard to be positive

I never watch streams but I'm ok with Zest streaming shirtless. And Stats can become a commentator, he's got charisma As for TY... he can safely go back to BW, I think he will find love there.

I think it depends on the wcs system next year. I mean if we end up with 4-6 starleagues like 2015/16 they'll probably stay around

Before Blizzcon and HSC, which our boys are scheduled to play, it's all just speculation anyway. I can kinda see why you'd think Zest lost motivation (although it's not indicative of anything, even now he was doing better in tournaments than during his 2015 slump).
But let me say, TY never really bothered with online cups. He's never played in anything smaller than Kung Fu Cup (which, if you remember, has thousands of dollars in its prize pool). I remember last year in HotS, there was a huge Leifeng monthly where almost the entire Korean scene played, the most stacked online cup of all time, in essence. TY and Flash were pretty much the only 2 big name players who didn't agree to play in it. (And Zest only played marginally more.)
I honestly think someone who's not motivated can't be that much better than everyone else. Even Life - you know, for everything he did - as possibly the most talented SC2 player ever, could only be the best in the world when he was really motivated. The last few times I saw TY play, he was so much better than his competition that I just can't imagine him not caring about the game.
Granted, why he's motivated is an entirely different story.

His games vs INnoVation was super great, I thought he is actually practicing a lot, probably not unmotivated or something. Also the KT bois still get access to the KT practice team house I think? and the coaches are still there to help them
Ok TY seems pretty motivated, i can see that. At least his lvl of play is very good atm. Well we will see and yeah i also hope that we will get info soon (with SKT info already out)

Leenock probably would retire
Also PWS said he's gonna meet with some SC2 this week (not sure who yet), I hope he's going to meet the KT players
Regarding Leenock:
On October 08 2016 18:08 Rocket-Bear wrote: Today I hanged out with Leenock. Went eating lunch and then to a PCbang to play overwatch. Had a good time, fun to play games with friends.
Anyway he's planning on quitting pro gaming at the end of this year and start a more streaming route. He's quite tired of Starcraft at this point which is quite understandable considering how much he has played the game to this day. The idea is to stream different games (but primarly Overwatch) on both twitch and afreeca at the same time. He will still attend GSL qualifiers and see how he does but he won't try as hard anymore.
2017 will be like a different type of gaming year for him and then after that he will quit gaming as a profession probably.
