They have always been in a good spot financially. They are one of the few teams that sends their players overseas without a foreign partnership. They send Polt out a lot yes. But how do you know Polt isn't paying his own way (he's a rich guy post Super Tournament). Almost all the times their other players have gone to tournaments it's been on the tournaments dollar. Coz coach lee is a even richer guy who owns several cyber cafes
The fact that Coach Lee is rich doesn't necessarily mean that he actually sends his players to foreign events though. I do think that he does, because Polt would not have joined TSL without that incentive.

Glad these talented players have found a stable home

This is more of ST absorbing zenex right?

TSL just moved into a bigger house and out of all the Korean teams, probably send the most players to foreign tournaments with MvP and probably now Startale with their Red Bull sponsorship.
Obviously the team most likely to be in financial trouble would be HoSeo. Never send players to tournaments and are sponsored by a technical college. For all we know they might be perfectly fine in Korea and just don't have the extra funds to send players to foreign tournaments, but they would be the most likely out of the teams in Korea.
Hopefully Nada's team can prosper.

Nice zerg pickups for Startale, should make them even more formidable next GSTL. That was their main weakness with just Curious around.

Yes, the reason I used merge was because that's what the article used.

Looks like Zenex never got the "thing".

The deal with Millennium is like the SlayerS-EG deal. They don't pay for players to travel abroad. It just gives them a training facility in Korea and a chance to play in GSTL.

Looks like TREME will have to look for a new ID. Hopefully it isn't STupid or STartale.
|
lol instead of one player, the entire team!

About god damn time, Zenex finally gets their break.

looks like to me
although ST_ripper or ST_ork
would be pretty cool.

What will NEXstreme do with his name now??
I vote for STupendous!
|
|
Does... Does this mean that Line won't have the burden of earning Zenex's food anymore?
|
Line, life and xtreme are going to be solid additions for teamleagues for ST. Stoked about this for sure!
|
This will be quite interesting... Hopefully great performance will be shown
