I am going to celebrate because both Trickster and FruitDealer are on my anti-team for Fantasy GSTL! Wonder if TSL is having money problems and cannot afford the salaries for these 2 as they likely have the highest salaries in the house.

It's a smart move by FD. He seems to have fallen from grace in the Korean scene, not being able to keep up with the new generation of SC2'ers. He has a better chance competing in foreign tournaments, but we'll see how he does.

Hopefully we haven't seen the last of him.

Good on TSL. Trickster and FD are probably the most inconsistent players right now, and it shows with their mechanics, they probably only practice when they feel like it.

I have to say, i've been increasingly disappointed with these two players and how they have performed lately. I wish them luck though.

I support Cool and Tester in whatever venture they decide to go into. My guess is they couldn't find their right place within TSL, to the point when it seemed more beneficial for them to go play as free agents for a while. Maybe some teams will use them as mercs.

Who can TSL field next Thursday against Prime with Rain, FD and Tester gone? They're pretty much left with Alive and PuMa, can't think of anyone else. Hope they have some unknown talent to fall back on.

However, I hope Prime does well this GSTL


Sangho (code S), Clide (Code S), Revival (Code A), and JYP/Smart (been doing decent lately - beat leenock in LG special)

this definitely hurts their depth but they are still a pretty competitive team. really interested to see what happens to ssks/FD.. I know in an interview around season one they both said they still had to do their millitary service and they are fairly old

even though their results have been disappointing relative to the expectations both have actually been pretty consistent. both have been in code S every season which is hard to do

FD could join fOu as he was a member of the fOu clan in SCBW, i have no idea where Trickster will end up,

oGS is certainly not an option i would think.

That's what I was thinking. I mean... 30k isn't the best thing in the world, but I can't imagine any other team is going to match that.

well it's only a 1 year contract

I'm guessing TSL wasn't willing to renew it (and for good reason) so they decided to leave

there sort of were signs of TSL struggling as well

never had many members and they even held tryouts

Welp. What is up with Fruitdealer and Tester leaving teams, this is the second team so far I think.

i always wondered why KR players don't seek out foreign teams and compete outside Korea. Obviously people capable of winning the GSL will still stay in Korea but for people who can barely scrape code A could compete in online cups and go to LANs in Europe.

I remember in wc3 top Chinese and Korean players like Lyn, Moon, TH000 etc would play in international teams and compete internationally. Obviously it's kind of different in SC2 with the GSL being the tournament everyone wants to win and compete in but if you aren't likely to get deep into code S then it would be better to compete all over the world (and probably more fun too, job satisfaction is important).

I mean, just look at AcE

True but.. Has it been a year already? I thought that salary thing just came up a few months ago? My perception of time is really poor, haha.

''What will happen to the Fantasty GSTL?''

The question has been asked.. But still unanswered..? I have Fruitdealer in my team.. What will happen to him now? Will I get to pick a free replacement?

They are supposedly pretty good buddies - I could see that happening.
