So does this count as the retirement thread too? It doesn't seem like they will ever give the effort necessary to produce results again. Trickster never looks particularly convincing and FD well disappeared though he'll always be in our hearts.

Thing is with TSL they were getting salaries and their housing/food paid for... and income tax in Korea is nothing. On top of that, they got income from each GSL by staying in Code S. There isn't nearly enough money outside Korea (that they can actually win) to make up to difference, unless a foreign team wants to pay a huge salary.

They are no longer top players... Tester made his name in the beta and has done nothing and FruitDealer has done nothing since the first GSL. Younger teams could use them as coaches but other than that their places in SC2 seem rather vague at the moment.


That's what I thought. When it was formed it was lined with sponsors. Did TSL want to stray away from the casual approach FD and Tester wanted? Their attitude comes off as lazy; I like that they want more free time and not be slaves like in BW, but I don't know it just does.

I don't care about Tester anymore and never did for FD. Oh he got a lucky run to the finals and got an opponent he was 90% sure he'd stomp. Undeserved hype.

TSL is a bust anyway. It was thought it'd be a powerhouse team, but they never deliver and somehow still cling onto their spots in the GSL.


I don't agree with that at all.

TSL has problems, theres no reason for Rain, Fruitdealer and Trickster to leave all within a short period of time ^^

well if they're planning on starting a new team, they don't have the impressive tourney results that they had back in gsl 1 which got them their major sponsors, maybe they're looking to join one of the bigger teams for better practice partners?

They'll probably join one of the weaker teams like ZeNEX or HoSeo.

Lol at all the Fruitdealer hate. He hasn't done anything since the first GSL? I suppose that's correct...But he's been in Code S every single season. How many players can say that?
Real action, my dream.

Whoa, interesting timing by both of them. Perhaps they will be jumping to more international teams to participate in other tournaments.
As is everyone else, I am also wondering what will happen with Fantasy GSTL. They are both on my anti-team as well :o

Until FruitDealer gets past the Ro16 for the SECOND time in GSL, he can't be considered a top player. He's like a famous version of jookTo.

probably TSL increased their practice times to start keeping up, and they don't like that. So jump off ship!
