Well this is not the first time that happens, tester and cool < aka trickster and fruitdealer already left oGs before and found TSL, so something is going on with them.

Hahaha me too. It's sad, but TSL was really a struggling team anyway, and none of them were really getting great results.

All the Koreans are interested in doing foreign tournaments, it's just that some teams don't get invited.

2 of TSL's greater players, combined with Rain, leaving the team? I smell something more going on in the background here =/

Best of luck to both FD and Trickster. They are both great players, but haven't gone well lately. Perhaps there is something in TSL which can be attributed to this?

I think this is more to do with the coach wanting the players to put in more practice time and focusing on the GSL.

FD and trickster on the other hand have never been ones to practice a lot. They also probably want to go to the "easier" foreign tournaments for more money.

Ouch, TSL is in a bad spot right now.

I hope FD ends up in a fitting home, though. Maybe that'll give him the motivation he needs.

From the translator I understand that TSL wants to be more team-based, so they are getting rid of their team? I'm not sure I understand.


tester/cool were known for their lack of effort in regards for practice. Was their main reason for parting with ogs iirc.

Who ever is heading the team probably wants some form of structure so they can hope to produce results.

That's just my take.
I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying

Guys, I don't think Tester or FD would join a foreigner team. They could join Fox or just make their own team.

The issue I have with this is that TSL was the first pro SC2 team to find sponsors from my understanding, and do they have a lot! I mean Coke n such. Big names, and they are lucky that they are the first to have regular big salaries (30-40k approx for FD and Tester) i mean thats a lot of money in the sc2 scene in terms of salary. To leave that, what are the chances of them making that much money in the future? Its really odd.

So we can begin to see the reason why Rain left TSL earlier

I very much doubt they left of their own accord, considering the salary they had at TSL. The announcement has a rather diplomatic wording anyway.

Every rumour we've heard so far had it that they just weren't too committed to training and improving their game. My take on it is that TSL tried to fix that by giving them the highest regular salary, but it obviously didn't work out at all.

It's a shame though, both are (were?) really talented, and I very much doubt they'll get better terms and treatment than they had in TSL anywhere else right now. As for foreigner teams, I just don't see either of them really fitting in and contributing much to the team - and they'll probably be even less motivated to practice themselves.

best of luck to fd + tester. hope fd finds himself and tester lives up to his beta hype!

edit: such a shame really, these guys were such beasts in the first season or 2 of the gsl. TSL was the scariest team by a long shot. Now they are nowhere near the top
