This is great news! I love FD and I felt TSL was holding him back, like the team just wants to all-in or something.

Good luck in finding newer and better teams for yourselves! Fruitdealer hwaiting!

So do we have any update on this, any reason ?
If I had to speculate, I'd say that FD and Tester are now burden for the team, they must have high salaries and have no real value anymore, so TSL just kicked them out ?

As much as it pains me to say this, I think your on the right track... neither of them are challengers for the title... They have way too much talent to be free agents for too long though, they are veterans from BW so I'm sure they will attract interest.

I really don't think FD and Tester will be that highly sought free agents... all they have going for them is hype from beta/season 1 and little else since then. They certainly don't seem very motivated to get better results.

I think TSL is preventing the team from foreign participation. Startale/Prime/oGs/Slayer are active in both Korean and Foreign scene.
Also it came to my mind why FD didn't attend MLG? Team issues might be the cause? The reason Rain left the team is foreign tournament related aswell.

They haven't been performing as they are able to and as many people said they seem to be just lazy so there results shouldn't really come as a surprise. Them actually leaving the team because the team wants to them actually TRY just doesn't make sense.

I really wonder who will pick them up, it would be great for FXO to grab them, going to be interesting to see where they go. I guess I now need to change TSL to a different team in my GSTL fantasy league.

FD and Tester have been under-performing badly for a long time now, maybe switching teams will wake them up. I see this as a good thing.

So they were kicked or the left?

I understand from TSL's twitter that changes are coming to TSL and they kicked them out.

But from the translatoin here i understood that They left...


Could some korean guys come here and translate this ? ...

sounds like a good move to me, TSL was going no where and you could tell. This is a good chance for FD and Tester to get back to pro level like in beta with a new team and a new perspective on the game. I wish them the best of luck and can't wait to see them in future tourneys.

For those speculating about these two wanting to participate in more foreigner tournaments, get this:

The only two Koreans on TSL who DIDN'T sign up for the NASL qualifiers were FD and SSKS.

This situation smells like TSL wanting to improve and buckle down with a tougher practice regimen to get better results, and these two just balked and backed out.

Honestly, if these two have the mindsets that we're all speculating about (that they don't want to practice that much), then I can't see any team that would be interested in picking them up. The heavily sponsored teams that are serious about results and competition will likely see these two as cancers, and I doubt they would join some insignificant team with no sponsors/salary. All the foreign teams are starting to understand how important a "Korean" practice regimen and mindset is with all of the recent Korean domination. EG is setting up a serious team house, FXO was willing to move to Korea, and I'm sure more foreign teams have plans to do similar things. Picking up these two guys would be the absolute worst message a team can send out.

Although, who knows. If Artosis was willing to roll the dice on Princess, anything can happen.

Lol please go and do some research before you spew shit from your keyboard, FD and Trickster both have NASL application videos on youtube. If I can remember correctly FD made it to RO 16 in Code S last season losing to IMNestea, the god of ZvZ that's not a terrible result.

I think its a work ethic thing. They dont appear to want to work that hard and maybe TSL's new direction is to practice more. Ive followed FD quite a bit early on and he just doesnt seem like hes a consistently hard worker. Just speculation dont quote me.

I'm talking about the situation right now, bro. That was, what, over 3 months ago? Obviously, their motivations have changed.

He's obviously talking about the open tournament running right now, in which all of TSL but FD and Tester are participating. It is legal to think before you post.

For the record I cant see any good reason any top foreign team would pick these two up. Couple of has beens that show no signs of getting better as of now. Better invest in talented, up and coming, younger players, then.

Players were going no where not the TSL.

Take into the consideration that in GSTL, TSL failed both times MAINLY to ACE's not playing to their expectations. FD, trickster and Killer not doing their job.

So If TSL kicked them out, i would say that it was good move and invest the money to younger players.
