I do think that he does, because Polt would not have joined TSL without that incentive.
Coach Lee pays for his players to go to foreign events out of his own pocket, this actually makes some of the other Korean teams Jealous of him because he can afford to send his players to events, and many of the other Korean teams can't or won't. Coach Lee also put up a lot of money to get TSL a nice new teamhouse a couple months back, its actually the largest teamhouse in Korea.
Coach Lee cares a lot about his players. He always tries to do what is best for the players.

Exactly. Its also one of the reasons he gets so "crazy" or offended when teams poach his players or when a player betrays his trust. He has also willingly released players from contracts when he feels he cannot provide for them what he promised or what they expect (JYP, Clide, SangHo/Killer, TesteR/sSKS, FruitDealer).

Looks like TREME will have to look for a new ID. Hopefully it isn't STupid or STartale. ST_EXTREME looks like to me although ST_ripper or ST_ork would be pretty cool.
It reminds me of the id NEXcrement or ZeNEXcrement, which is hilarious

StarTale now had 10 players who have been in Code S. 11 if Life gets in. (And perhaps 12, if SaSe gets a seed)

Reading this made me so happy! :D

Wasn't ZeNEX already a merged team?

11(this season)-1 (zenex) = 10 which is an even number, I don't understand what fnatic has to do with this

Happy for the Zenex guys. always loved their logo the most!

Make that a possible 13 if Hack qualifies.
