North America for players of american background and Central and South America for players of latino/hispanic background. 
I don't really like the way Blizzard did it, because different continents have different weight in SC2. Having empty categories is a bit pointless, and they can very easily be added to the 'America' section. The China one could be renamed Rest of Asia/Oceania, but it would be great if people who are knowledgeable in those scenes could post names of some of the notable free agents from those respective regions.

There are enough notable free agents in Korea to make three teams. That really can't be good.

I disagree. I was arguing that OP should change the "America" into North America, since we are talking about US and Canada. I would accept if it was divided into "Americas" at least. That way at least you acknowledge the other continents and dont make it seem that the US and Canada are the only "America."
"but it would be great if people who are knowledgeable in those scenes could post names of some of the notable free agents from those respective regions."
Now that is an excellent point. There should be a system, something like Fifa 13, where you could look up all players,free agents and teams from different continents and their stats. I think this is a good idea whether they are "important" players or not.

PartinG leaving startale is kind of a huge fucking deal, I kind of hope EG Parting just so we can see him in proleague, but I doubt it, with the Suppy Parting tensions and shit.. then again, EG did sign HuK after IdrA/HuK, so, who knows?
I really hope B4 gets a team, but apparently he was approached by some teams already, so he'll probably be fine.
BBB is screwed imo What did I miss? Suppy and Parting tension? Also, they did sign HuK but that also prevented them from getting Nani, or so its been said. Hopefully they can get past whatever tension is there though because that would be awesome But what about TLParting? Think he is refering to the blizzard world cup thing, where Parting beat a zerg then when he went up against Suppy, Suppy had studied the replays of the foreign zerg who just lost, and knew when the timing was coming for the immortal all in, and was blindly building mass SC's at around the time of the all in, thus deflectng it. Parting didn't like that xD
Oh I see xP well that is good to know, I thought they were both some of the more mannered players in the game so I was just a little confused haha thanks.

Wow, that's great for Illusion! Cool to see.

Great for Illusion, dunno whether I should take him down yet though, since there's no information as to what type of relationship he has with Razer.
Naugrim, an academy player for MYM, just retired.
I'm pretty pissed at Karont3 -.- It's almost 11 and nothing so far. After that silly joke of Chicarito, now they keep us waiting -.-

The list of free agents is pretty insane right now.. I feel like if you had sufficient funds you could put together a GSTL winning team from that list alone.. Parting, Hyun, Symbol, Alicia, Polt (I know in reality he's going to be in the US but I'm dreaming here!), Supernova..add in Sase, Naniwa and Morrow if you wanted some foreign marketability and BAM... someone contact Roman Abramovich! :D
|
I think a lot of these guys aren't going to find homes. With KeSPA here to stay, I don't know who will take them in. I think the biggest names will find homes, but I wouldn't be surprised if players like TheStC, Alicia and YugiOh are forced into retirement.
|
Heart wasn't on this list for very long...

As it goes, Axiom will probably be signing Alicia and Heart, and will be using Acer's MMA for GSTL.
AZUBU will be adding two more players, one of which at least should be Terran..perhaps SuperNova, but it would be a good choice to go for Center as well. They should also consider Symbol, who is always an absolute beast in team leagues.
Glon also just joined It's GoSu, and Turuk joined Cascade.
