I wonder how much money they will receive from StarTale since their TSL salary was pretty good during the early SC2 days. StarTale has some sick players now: FD, Tester, July, Bomber, Rainbow, etc.

Hopefully they become more focused on practice, they were great players back in the early days of SC2.

that's what i was hoping, and thought it to be very likely since FD and tester have pretty much left and joined teams together xD

now, hopefully maybe they will remember their days of ownage and get super good again xD

So will July finally get better at ZvZ?

On topic, I'm looking forward to Tester and FruitDealer making their comeback. I believe Rainbow is leaving for the military in the near future. Hopefully he'll make a comeback as well, after he returns.

It's actually weird that they follow each other around so much. Any who congrats to all parties.

these 2 have been left behind by the game and I don't see them regaining their former glory, they will probably yoyo between code S and code A. ALso somehow I get the feeling that this wont be the last team switch for Fruitdealer and Trickster lol.

Does this article mention if they are going to be living in the team house or still with each other?

I see this as a great move for TSL, though. This allows for their younger players to improve faster and develop leadership within the team. (looking at you PuMa, aLive and Smart! )

TSL should be fine. They clearly have some good young players as we all witnessed today

Are these guys like close friends and a package deal? They seem to move around exclusively together. Wonder if thats on purpose or just coincidence, if this is common knowledge then someone please enlighten me and cure my ignorance.

I keep thinking for Bert and Ernie from Sesame street with Tester and FD.

I will wait and see if they actually get back on track or if in 3 months they will be leaving ST as well I hope they get back on track performance wise and stick with a team.

They're really close friends and live together. They're also both apparently good friends with the StarTale coach as well, which might explain the move.

beta monsters might be making a comeback. as is with more varied practice partners i do see them getting better, if they train more.

also, ST.Tester sounds better than ST.Trickster, just sayin.

Startale is a great choice. So far Startale is the most active Korean team in both Korean and Foreign scene.

Its okay TSL are just cutting the bad players out of their lineup, they'll soon be a lean mean GSTL stomping machine.






Half assed trolling aside, congrats to ST for picking up two very well respected players.

Love the news, though TSL has some good players, ST just has a SICK lineup, Squirtle, July, Bomber, Ace and the others this is going to be an awesome addition.
