I hope the new environment makes him better at the game. His NASL qualifier performance wasn't that exciting. I don't think there has been official confirmation, but it would be good for Trickster. Didn't think ST needed another Protoss but hey, why not

well, making it out of that group really ended up being luck tbh. He got a freebie vs. rain that July didn't have the chance to have.


+ Show Spoiler +
but July had 2 shots to qualify for RO16, while trickster only had 1 shot, which he took and succeeded. I don't understand why people think it's unfair for July. Fanboyism, it seems


+ Show Spoiler +
Trickster actually also had 2, he lost the first game to July.


Well he only had one... As soon as July won Game 1... July only needed 1 win to go through... he had a chance against Nestea, didn't win... second chance against Tester... same thing... while Tricksters* performances have fallen according to his haydays in the beta... his PvZ has remained pretty decent...

Cool, I would love to see Trickster and hopefully FD on ST.

Can I ask why Trickster is 'stale'?

Isn't he one of the most diverse players? Able to cheese, macro and all-in you within a moments notice, I think that's his market. His good at all things, instead of just being a god at one thing. Dunno'

Someone explain please?

I disagree with the term stale. In Beta the guy was a beast but it seems as though he is playing a lot less or something. He was so unpredictable in beta it was fun to watch!

Well, Trickster would have most probably beaten Rain... sooo if you analyze the probability... he would have still gotten out of that group... your 1st game is not as important as your 2nd and 3rd... in the current system


you can't say that trickster would have beaten rain, he lost to the bestfou in the super tourney in the first round -.-

If this is true, I'm partially sad. As a fan of his forever now I was wishing he would get on a foreign team. However I believe he will do just fine with ST. Hopefully whatever issues there was with TSL won't be a problem for him anymore.

Because he's one of these guys who are in Code S for ages, yet never really have had any results. He produces some decent games, he also has his share of terrible blunders, and he's never really looked like a potential champ.

For most people (myself included), when you look at people like MKP or Losira or sC or Top or whatever, you can see the potential, and it's obvious that despite their lack of big titles, they are always contenders for one. When I look at Trickster or Fruitdealer, I can't help but wonder why are they in Code S while someone like Hero or Leenock is in Code A.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Trickster nor FD or anything like that, I just think that due to how GSL works, simply staying in Code S for a while isn't much of an achievement, and frankly, he hasn't done much more than loiter around the fringes of Code S.

Staying in code S isn't much of an achievement? I don't know about you, but if I could play on code S levels of play, and stay in code s for multiple seasons I would feel really good. I think it's a hell of an achievement.

So stale means he has no potential basically? I see a lot in him really, and I hope he goes far just to prove it too.

It's no easy task to even get into code a, and you say it's no achievement to stay in code s for multiple seasons. I really think you're underestimating the Korean scene. I guess everyone in Code S that isn't NesTea, MC or MVP are really just lingerers in Code S and should be replaced because it's not an achievement to stay in code s without that high of results. kk.

People leaving is quite simple I think. The team was over-rated for a long time, and since GSL 4 they've been pretty much washed up. The team continually fails to produce results, very easy for me to understand why players would be leaving it. StarTale actually produces solid results, consistently.

That's actually the shirt GOM makes you wear if you're not associated with a team.

I think it's done or otherwise you may be wearing some shirt that conflicts with their sponsors. Only a pro team are allowed to bare their sponsors.

That's really interesting. Makes sense then that shinystar had the same one on.

Pretty clearly he just quit TSL in order to get the free shirt.

Wasn't there just a post about Tester and FruitDealer joining Complexity based on some information?

Seriously, just wait for an official announcement, it's too hard to tell what's serious and what's not.
