It sounds like its pretty hard times and especially the comment about how Pro-SC2 players don't enjoy playing SC2 due to the small fan-base. I mean I've been kind of waiting for the Korean SC2 scene to take steps towards what BW has accomplished but I guess its just taking more time than I expected. I mean yeah its only been a year, but since a lot of the infrastructure was already in place from BW I guess I expected it to happen quicker? I don't know, its concerning to me. just wait till September  | ||

Clide and Killer are two of the most loyal players. I suspect if TSL were to break up, they'd stick together and get picked up by some pretty beastly teams. | ||

It's not the players fault that the management are assholes. As much I hate EG, and prepared to basically not buy anything that sponsors them in the future. This is not the fault of InC, Idra, Machine or even Puma. No one is mad that Puma made this decision, people are just not happy how EG does its business. I sincerely hope all the players in EG the best of luck, while the management gets fired and file bankruptcy. | ||

AlexG is quite shady despite playing within the rules, i mean i hate to say it, but IMO this hurts the western organization's reputation, sure you can say that they are all not that shady, but korean organizations are going to label and generalize the western community, and with SangHo and Clide coming out with how they were approached by western organizations, korean teams and organizations are much more likely going to be more tough with their team reguations, force contracts, and most likely more of the Koreans to Western teams will happen much less (or untill contracts expire). Also, the KoT debate with Milkis and AlexG.... come on Alex. Its almost the same thing as me asking him "hey dude, you like strawberry ice crream?" and him just saying "well i like fruit flavored ice cream". I thought it's been "Hey dude, you like strawberry ice cream?", "If you want to know if I like strawberry ice cream, you see, you have to remember the underlining problem is...... blah blah blah....... So, to answer the question. What's the question again?" | ||

Because they have bad business sense, it was a foolish decision for one league to own all the rights to SC2 in korea. so fucking true in order for korea to really flourish they need more than just gomtv league vs league? damn crazy | ||

I feel sad for the other 6 that are now contracted but oh well it's never too late for coach lee to enhance his management skills. FruitDealer and Trickster left because TSL wanted to become more serious in practicing. Even FruitDealer, who left TSL, called Puma out on his Twitter. Rain left because he actually has a father who lives in the United States. Why would you feel bad for the six main players who are getting contracts? Lee is a great coach and has been for a long, long time. Clide and Killer have turned down foreign offers without contracts because they believe in TSL. I find that highly respectable. | ||

This needs to be solved in order for Starcraft 2 to flourish as an e-sport. Is this true? It is no secret that the SC2 korean scene is small in Korea, SC2 is not popular there at all, especially when you compare it with the giant that is BW. Still, it is good to see another statement from Coach Lee, hopefully this will put somet things to rest. | ||

Aren't they doing well in GSTL? Even after losing three major players now, I feel like SangHo Clide Revival and Alive surely isn't the worst lineup. You have to understand, Clide is the man who picked Nestea instead of Huk in the group selection, just to avoid having Jinro and Huk on the same group. Then proceeds to crush the group 2-0. After that event I'm forever a Clide fan and supporter, not only because he's a good player, but also how fucking nice he is. | ||

With this much passion for the team TSL is definitely going to be a beast team again. I just see chumps. I hope this isn't 'here have my money' thing and they actually negotiated something tangible they get back out of it. Such as, portion of winning, portion of sponsorship money, something to pay back their sacrifice. There is no honour is sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice. | ||
