It is with regret that Team Legion announces the cancellation of our partnership with ZeNEX following their merger with StarTale. Team Legion was operating under a preliminary partnership contract with ZeNEX which expired at the end of ESEA season 11. We intended on making the partnership official after this period with plans to provide gear sponsorship and travel benefits. Unfortunately the situation with ZeNEX required a more profound fiscal measure. In addition, ZeNEX did not communicate the merger to Team Legion until after the merger was announced. This mistake took place without malicious intent, but we feel it requires a brief explanation. ZeNEX manager HeeWon Yun explains...
Originally the news was not supposed to revealed this early We were in dire need of money and security so I was negotiating with StarTale as soon as the preliminary partnership agreement expired. After we had come to an agreement I was planning on speaking with Team LgN Unforunately the article was published too soon and it was out of my hands Personally I love LgN but I apologize for this situation. -HeeWon Yun ZeNEX Manager
Sometimes this happens. Maybe next time only the right people will be informed or it will be made clear when this should and can be announced. Good luck to both sides.
Understandable given the difficulty of translated between people who often have zero knowledge of each others languages. I don't think Legion loses too much from this and Zenex gain an awful lot.

Actually LgN has a korean player on the team that im sure wouldnt mind translating if need be. Plus, most korean sc2 players understand most basic english.

I did all of the translating work.
All conversations were carried out through the ZeNEX manager, to me, to our LgN manager, back to me, to the ZeNEX manager, etc. etc.

A crazy look into the world of translation. Would have have guessed it would be so complex.

they should probably start with their own...their team is hardly relevant to be partnering with pro teams.

Could you please elaborate on this?
I think he was referring to the skill level of Legion's players being far below any Korean team - in the sense, there is no benefit to the Korean team.
Maybe Legion had plans to help them financially? Only way I can see them benefit a Korean team as well.

We have had some significant changes in our roster recently We have also acquired a great sponsor As well as some staff changes
We haven't officially made an announcement regarding these factors but rest assured, LgN is doing well and is prospering

I hope you don't take what I said as disrespect. I wish your team luck and hope the new changes work out well for you. I just posted because I understood where he was coming from.
I always thought the partnership was weird as I never saw legion as a big team with money so never understood how they could help support zenex or fly players to foreign tourneys.

I don't take your comment as disrespect. I'm just trying to clarify a couple of things with playLoud

Well we have several sponsors so money wasn't a big issue.
The issue was was that the contract with ZeNEX was only preliminary. We were planning on signing with them officially, but then this whole StarTale takeover occurred without our knowing
