TSL players join TSL... Cool!

At least this means we will see Fruitdealer again. It would've made a million zerg players cry if one of their heroes just 'disappeared'. Life in the GSL is hard enough when half the players are terran.


Whut? TSL is not ST.

Among Koreans, FD is like BoxeR now.

Loved by everyone but performs poorly in recent times.

;_;


What is wrong with you? In absolutely no universe is FD is anything like BoxeR.


He just meant they shared one characteristic.

The "Loved by everyone but performs poorly in recent times." part.

He doesn't mean in terms of accomplishments/stature... (duh)


But he's not loved by everybody and he hasn't performed since the new year turned.


Clearly its a generalization -- FD is well liked by the korean community (generally speaking) for his cinderella story run to the title. And yes you are correct, FD has been underachieving for over 7 months, which is more than just "recently."

Pretty sure I've read a number of times that Tester and FD were more interested in entering non-Korean tournaments, but TSL players don't really do that. Puma is really the exception that proves the rule, I think -- can you name another TSL player sent abroad?

Anyway, I don't think Tester and FD will change at all -- neither is going to win a GSL any time soon. But we will probably see them in more MLGs, Dreamhacks, etc (less competitive events with good prize pools).

I miss the times when these guys were the best their races had to offer.

HUGE news. Congrats to both FD and Tester for joining such a wonderful team, and congrats to ST for acquiring two amazing players (: I have yet to lose faith of FD since the early GSLs, and I hope he climbs back to the top!

Huge pickup for ST. Looking forward to July and FD sharing ideas with eachother, both such dynamic playstyles.

Crazy!!

SSKS and FD used to be my favorite players for their races, but seriously? They have disappointed way too much.
I can't believe some of you think this is a good thing for StarTale... If anything it's good for TSL since Puma RevivaL and aLive are goin to get more opportunities AND higher salaries. FD and SSKS aren't goin to be leeching like half of TSL's payroll lol. It's kinda bad for RevivaL though since FD and SSKS were rolemodels and supporters of him.
If this was just after the BETA, I would say July Rainbow Cool SSKS dreamteam, but this is kinda dumb.
TSL fighting!

They will move to a new team within 6 months, don't worry. So, it doesn't matter whether they will be successful or not in ST.

Yay Rainbow, Tester, and Fruitdealer all on the same team makes me remember back to the beta days when they were the kings of their races.

Good times. Shame they've all fallen to such lengths. ST has a sick lineup now though. I can only imagine the more experienced players will serve more as player coaches than players, don't expect them to do much in the GSTL for example.


One day, FD, Tester, Rainbow will rise again, sc2 scene isn't stack, heart of the swarm will bring them on the top!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I applaud the players for leaving if they strongly disagreed with the team, but I question ST's decision to sign a has-been and someone who hasn't done anything since the beta, neither of whom want to practice hard.

These two guys used to be my favorite Zerg/Toss respectively, so gl to them with their new team. I actually dreamed that Tester would win this season of GSL, so maybe that will come true. Doubtful, imo, but a possibility given that he's still in the running.

Tester did make it to Round of 8 this season... maybe even further if he does beat Losira.

That's pretty good.
