They created TSL and left OGS because they didn't want the rigid training schedule. They wanted to take it easy. Remember?

That was ok before, but to produce results NOW, with teams like SlayerS you need practice and discipline. Guessing TSL wanted that and FD and Tester didn't. Their performance reflects their position on the issue.

Isn't TSL the only team that's giving their players salaries anyways? If so, it doesn't make any sense for them to leave on that basis, since ... well, FD and Tester would be giving up even more money leaving than staying. I mean, even if their salaries took a dive, at least they're still getting paid.

I dunno. First Rain, now FD and Tester.

This is quite unfortunate news for TSL considering FruitDealer and Tester were two of their more consistent players. On the other hand, maybe they will join a team that will provide them more opportunities to compete in tournaments outside of Korea. I'm really curious to see where they both land and what the state of TSL will be now that Rain, FD, and Tester are gone.

So what does this mean for fantasy league, do the people with FD and trickster get screwed over/really lucky depending on if they picked them?

So they basically left because TSL does not want to fully support them in playing at foreign tournaments?

I doubt that is the case since all of TSL is playing in the NASL open bracket except for Cool and Tester.

I don't know if Fruitdealer should really try to continue his career. He hasn't performed well in so long and I don't know if he will be able to turn that around.. I really hope the best for the both of them. I always loved watching him play. Seeing players like Fruitdealer, Haypro, and Dimaga in a slump break my heart. Best of luck to the both of them.

Haypro was never really that great, but he's actually improving recently. He played well and took a game off Losira, I think he took a game off Bomber. His ZvP is still questionable, but he's definitely picking up pace. FD was good when the game was new and has fallen behind. Dimaga I can't speak for though.
Never argue with an idiot. They will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Tester and Fruitdealer were salaried players on TSL

guessing TSL/sponsor did not want to renew their contract/salary and Tester/FD decided to leave TSL because of it

alot of you say this but i am quite sure it will not happen and would be bad

cause if they really leave tsl because not wanting hard training schelude like ogs (reason they left there) then teams like FXO who WANT this schelude would be horrible pick

Their first payday was the first week of April. I really doubt the contract was for two months...

Just saw that too. Sad day. Hopefully WMF SC1 doesn't disband, and it would fucking suck if WMF jumps ship on SC2 as well. (Especially for ThorZain and NaNi.) Not to mention, Moon is just starting to hit his stride, SocceR looks promising, and Lyn is a very solid Terran when you discount his somewhat questionable decision-making at times.

Goddammit, the past few weeks have been pretty distressing in terms of teams disbanding and/or getting absorbed, and players leaving. What a bad month.
