The only other person on the team I've heard of is Gatored. Don't know if it's a good move by pokebunny or not.

Looks like a good move for pokebunny, I see lots of good previous players on ONE and NrG on the roster and with the shift of focus to Reign, it seems like he got a pretty good deal.
Good luck to both Pokebunny and GoSu!

I just want to let people know that did not think it is a good move that I thought for a long time about what I wanted to do. This was not a decision I took lightly and I truly believe that It's Gosu is the best place for me to be right now.

when did ONE become gosu? 
I missed that
Congrats to poke
|
I chose you, marine!
Pokebunny evolving!
|
grats to pokebunny.
never heard of 3/4 of those players but good luck to them in the future 
|
Parting with VT was done because we were not quite on the same page and did not have the same goals regarding the future. I assure you that it is nothing negative about the organization overall, we just had different feeling on some things that I completely respect.

Super glad to have Poke on the team. Welcome again man :D

Would someone add this to OP?
Poke:
I guess congratulations are in order. Good luck!

It seemed VT was moving their focus towards Reign in terms of allocation of resources, even in the announcement thread there seemed some bitterness from other VT players(although not from Pokebunny), so this isn't too surprising.
It's Gosu seems to have accumulated a lot of upper-mid tier players, with a fair bit of potential, now it's time to see if they can really start growing their skill, they have a pretty good group to work with.
