TSL has announced a major restructuring of the team.

Coach Lee stated on the 28th "In order to become a stronger team, TSL plans to undergo restructuring. As a result we will part ways with Clide, Killer and JYP while at the same time signing former Brood War professional HyuN, in an attempt to start fresh."

TSL has been widely rated as a small group of elite players in a family-like environment. However they have produced no GSL winners since FruitDealer (now in StarTale) and while favoured to win the first season of the GSTL could not advance past the playoffs.

Although the signing of Polt has added a champion to their current roster, Coach Lee determined that under the current team system it would be difficult to produce another champion. Thus in order to produce champions and to win the upcoming season of the GSTL he changed the team's training regime among other things.

During this process the opinions of the existing ace players were respected as much as possible. The existing players also wanted change, and the direction of some players and the team wanted to take did not align; as such, they decided to part ways to further the interests of both parties. At the same time, the remaining players expressed their support of the team in order to create a more structured and efficient practice regime than previously.

Coach Lee stated "I anticipate that the departure of many key players from the team will cause many fans to worry and a number of rumors to be perpetuated. However I would like to emphasize that this decision was not made on the base of a rift within the team or contract issues and was entirely mutual, based on both the players' and the team's respect for one another and desire for further progress."

Indeed, when this decision was made Coach Lee, Clide, Killer and JYP all expressed their grief at having to part ways. But Coach Lee did not want to forcefully drag his players into the new team system and the players also did not want to interfere with the team's restructuring.

As such Coach Lee decided to respect the player's wishes and ended their contractual relationship and the players, wishing TSL the best, decided to embark on new challenges. Clide has transferred to SlayerS, and Killer and JYP will seek out new teams while remaining teamless for the time being.

In the meantime TSL intends to add further new players to their roster in order to increase their depth and produce a GSL champion in 2012. The first such new player on their roster is former MBC Game Hero player HyuN, who decided to switch over to StarCraft II after the disbanding of MBC Game Hero and his inability to transfer to a new team. He particularly wanted to join TSL because of his prior relationship with Coach Lee while in MBC Game Hero.

What the heck? We need more e-sports yellow press, how did that happen? Background info pls. I guess they'll need to get another 2 P at least. No way this lineup will do anything in GSTL. Also, SlayerS is getting big. They'll have to share beds soon^^
