This. He's still shown flashes of brilliance from what I've seen, but it's just that: unreliable, not sustained solid play. Maybe he will operate best as an individual free to practice at his own leisure. Still, even without great results he produces exciting games and is one of my favourite players. Best of luck to him and Trickster in GSL and other tournaments.

I would die laughing if Cliiiiide soon announces his departure from TSL in favour of sixjax.

WOW, big news. Fruitdealer's victory in GSL is legendary for the fact that Z was considered UP at that point and he dominated. Having said that, I have to agree that he's slipped behind and I hope he can find another team and catch back up!

it occurred to me that if FD joined Complexity and moved into the old ROOT house in Florida, he and Catz would be like he chillest zergies together ever

Well, I love FD and Trickster even though they don't have too good of results recently. However they still should be good enough for any foreigner team/tourney. <3 gluck hf

They are both code S players I assume they don't lose that and don't want to stop playing in GSL.

They just had a disagreement over the direction of the team.

Speculation just on stuff I've read, this could have been potential disagreement points:
- TSL are holding tryouts and trying to expand the team. FD and Trickster may not have agreed with this. They're both known to have a rather lax practice schedule and bringing in younger players may have required them to not only practice more, but coach as well.
- FD and Trickster want to go to foreign tournaments and TSL are unable to provide that to them. The recent cancellation of FD's trip and Rain's departure makes me believe so.
- FD and Trickster feel that they're coming closer to retirement and don't really want to interrupt the growth of the team.

Again, it's all speculation...

I think an American calling a Korean lazy is the funniest thing I have ever heard.
If you're mad that someone else is brazenly trumpeting their beliefs with ignorance, perhaps you should be mad that you are doing it too.

Well TSL was the team mostly known for having extremely talented players that have been under performing for the last 8 months so its doesn't really come as a surprise that they want to change things in their team.

They have both been in slumps for a while doing enough to stay in code S but never really impressing with it. I also hear a lot of other people saying they want a piece of the foreign pie, but that seems unlikely. They left oGs and possibly now TSL because they didn't want to practice as much. Yes over all pool in this tournaments is less talented but still the top players practice heavily and to say just because other koreans are winning them they have a chance is iffy. The koreans winning these tournaments are people like MC, Bomber, Losira, July etc. These are the players that are also showing consistance and recent results in the GSL. They can't beat them in Korean so i don't see much hope of them beating them at MLG, Dreakhack etc.
