Coach Lee fighting, TSL fighting. | ||

For my money, there's just too much unneeded drama around TSL. Coach Lee has shown that he can coach a player up, but that he also pushes them out after a relatively short period of time and doesn't seem to handle that situation well. I think this aLive controversy could easily be the one that pushes sponsors out the door. If I was a sponsor of TSL, I'd personally be looking into sponsoring other teams when my current contract runs out. There are a lot of solid Korean teams that produce good/great GSL/GSTL results without the controversy surrounding TSL. TSL won't die tomorrow and it may even get some new life breathed into it with more BW players moving over, but BW pros aren't going to switch over so that they can play for free. If coach Lee can't handle the managerial/public relations portion of his job better, I don't think he'll have the money to entice BW players to switch over. | ||

Yes he was I was very disappointed that their acquisition didn't register as news, and it flew under the radar quite a bit. "TSL.Hyun has shown how brood war gamers are disciplined enough to make something of starcraft 2. I am not going to go into the debate exactly, but I am a close friend with TSL coach Lee. I have been informed that Hyun practices up to 15 hours a day, and on the 15th hour he still has a smile on his face and enjoys himself. I don’t know any foreign gamer who does that, and I know very few korean gamers who do that, at least in starcraft 2. " From http://fxoboss.tumblr.com/page/2 Article: my picks for the fis | ||

I clearly have no idea what is going on within this team but there must be some sort of structural problem with the coach or management. It's not a coincidence when half your roster decides to leave within 3 1/2 months. I know Coach Lee holds a lot of respect in the Korean SC community but there must be a reason that he is the only coach who repeatedly declares that his players are being "poached". Like all of us, I don't have any real knowledge on what is happening with this team, but am curious to know. | ||

I think heart is more in the case of SangHo/Clide/JYP(Who left on good terms due to the change of practice regiment) more than drama. Just seems like this was annouced a month to late | ||

Each was not comfortable with the team house environment. Sheth himself has said he would've stayed longer if he could have other living arrangements. | ||

I was thinking why, as a whole, TSL is falling apart. | ||

I don't think they're getting unlucky, I think its something much more concrete. Given the recently released information, their management is questionable to say the least. | ||

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. | ||
