This is a great lineup...Wow. You get this idea that the team has now only crap players, but then you look at that lineup and you're just so surprised.

You may just not be up to date on what name he's using now.

Best?
It helps when you don't alienate your players.
Can someone please validate this for me? I've heard several time that Coach Lee is one of the best, but he hasn't produced any champions (Polt was not TSL at the time of his victory) besides Fruitdealer. And despite having the first SC2 champion, and the sponsorship dollars that came along with it, they have never commanded as nearly as much of a presence IM, oGs, or SlayerS.
Can we have a list of all former TSL players please? haha.

I just don't understand why people keep claiming he's the best / a great coach when he hasn't produced any top players and his team is continually hemorrhaging players. Where is all this Coach Lee love/hype coming from?
I'd blame Artosis but Coach Lee isn't a Protoss player.
This news sucks so many of the good players leaving TSL, although they still have a formidable roster (assuming the rest stay on). I feel bad for the team and Coach Lee to an extent (although the printing of Alive's Skype chat is strange).

maybe they're leaving because coach lee is a true BW coach.
Then why hasn't he produced any championship level players?
If his style is alienate so many of his players without producing results then I really don't see how he's the "best" coach at all.
Just looking at current and former rosters it seems to be a really deep lineup: Revival Polt Hyun Alive JYP Killer Clide Rain Puma Guineapig, all fairly noticeable names.
He doesn't seem to be an OZ coach who wants to focus on players one at a time.

Evidence points to him being a bad manager and leader. As far as his coaching is concerned, there's nothing indicating that hes a bad coach and to his credit, TSL has always had notable players getting good results.

TSL_Polt
But I'm really curious if there isn't anything else going on. I mean, so many players left TSL because the don't felt comfortable anymore.
yeah, and then lee allegedly goes thru private skype chat logs. sketch, he needs to account/answer for that before outsiders can analyze this situation any further
TSL will always find more players. Whether or not they will pan out is the question! I feel the team is much less attractive since top players such as Fruitdealer, Killer, Trickster, and Clide have all left.
