They still have ToD, Nightend, and Rain for their big guns, but they're slowly fading away.

Not sure what this new direction is about...


The only skilled player they've lost is Sen, the rest, TT1, KR and gretorp havn't done anything in so far in SC2.


People have such a skewed version of what skill is. Just because someone isn't winning tournaments every day doesn't mean they aren't skilled.

Rain is really damn good when he doesn't decide to go marine SCV all in, tod has been doing pretty well so far in France and is training in Korea and nightend was great at dreamhack I think those 3 will do the team well and should be able to hold down the team until they can get more players.

TT1, KR and Gretorp were just bad/not at the same level of the other players on the team.

IMHO it's a good thing that teams are starting to drop all those bad players.

Well what they mean is probably more that they really havent done anything i sc2 that makes them worth keeping for a serious team. Ofc they are skilled, GM-skilled, but not placingtop10atMLG-skilled.

Edit: KR did leave on his one though so count him out from that.. but the point about what you consider to be "skill" still applies. Best of luck to KR, hope what ever happens next makes you happy =)

This is doubly funny considering he's fresh off a Playhem Open win taking a Bo3 over TSLRevivaL, who you must consider a piece of shit for never having won a GSL. Clearly KR lost his passion and should switch SC2 for osu.

Seriously though, love his stream and his games. Just remembered this TvZ clinic against ret, http://twitch.tv/gosucoachingtv/b/281303248 (starts around 52:00)

I'm pretty sure fnatic and KR know why there is a break-up, they don't have to disclose it publicly, it makes both parties look bad.

Don't deny it, baddie. They probably saw you couldn't defeat Airman and dropped you like the scrub you are

While generally I'd agree with you... in this case he actually chose to leave the team for his own reasons... Fnatic definitely preferred to keep him

...What? I can't even tell if you're serious with this. Not only was it a mutual split in this case, but in 99% of cases, a corporation doesn't want to smear a players name for no reason. If a player wants to tell the public that he got removed for being an asshole or not performing well enough he (or she) can.
