oGs told Tester and Fruitseller that the GSL winning money (most likely a huge % of it) would go to the team. Tester and Fruitseller, knowing they had army service soon, didn't want to leave so much money to a team they'll leave for a year or so. They know they are the favourites to win, thus they left the team to cash in the whole price before going to the army. Not so pretty a picture, I know, but for me it's what makes most sense. | ||

Although I prefer some of the Prime guys, Check and Maka.. the oGs guys are strong too, Korean Ladder is dominated by both teams. Will be interesting to see how this all pans out. Players switch teams and alliances all the time, E-Sports tends to be even more mercenary than normal sports, at least judging by the way CS players used to team hop. Huh? tester and cool aren't defecting to SC2 only teams. They're leaving a SC2 only team to become more casual, stress free players. | ||

There isn't even a shred of evidence for that, is there??? Was there some tournament I'm not aware of?? Some set of replays that shows their "best in the world" skills??? Apparently you just have to be Korean with a known name to be the "best in the world", huh? Sorry I just don't understand it. There were number of tournaments (and King of the Hill matches) in Korea, just like how there were many tournaments in US and EU. Tester and Cool are considered to be the best of Protoss and Zerg players in Korea from these tournaments. From what I know, Star2Gether - a King of the Hill style tournament - was one of the major tournament in Korea, and Tester won the tournament with undefeated record. | ||

Most likely they think about their future and their upcoming military service. Both being under the top contenders for the gsl win they probably thought that splitting all earned price money between both of them is way better than splitting with the whole oGs team ^_^ By the way when do we finally get some articles about TL in korea? When i read about them flying to korea i thought that there would be a huge coverage about them on this site. Would really love to read about the life in a pro-gaming house from a foreigners perspective. | ||

I must have understood wrong them, someone earlier in the thread made mention that they maybe were being forced to continue playing SC:BW too, I wasn't aware they were a total only SC2 team, I thought they were a SC:BW team that also had an SC2 team under their umbrella. | ||

And no, none of the conspiracy theories are correct. Fruitseller and Tester just got tired of the strict regiment in the team. They felt it was hindering their enjoyment. BTW, he says: - 저그 종족이 매우 힘들다고 하더라. ▲ 타종족으로 해도 지금 저그 잘한다는 사람들을 이길 수 있을 정도의 자신감을 갖고 있고 그 만큼 저그가 힘들다. 저그 같은 경우는 아직 세세한 부분이 정립이 되어 있지 않다. 나쁘지는 않은데 중후반으로 넘어가면서 힘싸움에서 다른 종족을 이기기가 너무 힘들다. Is zerg underpowered? I have enough confidence to beat any zerg, no matter how good they are, with a different race. That's how difficult it is for zerg. Zerg are lacking the small details at the moment. It's not terrible but it's very hard to win the brute force battles against other races after mid-late game. And for all you foreign hopefuls who think they can make it in SC2. Fruitseller says: 스타1에서 안되는 친구들은 스타2에서도 안될 수도 있다. If you're bad at BW, you'll probably be bad at SC2. | ||
