I see Symbol and Hyun as quick pickups. Center and Shine are also doing somewhat well and coming up now watching them from GSL and IPL | ||

Then seeing 2 key players leave, one of them being your major Star Man is a huge blow to a small team like TSL. It's pretty understandable to disband it at that point, because it would require some investment to make up for the departures of Polt and Revival while running the team. That investment would have to come directly out of the pocket of Coach Lee. And to see a major part of his key players leave the team again might have finally pushed him towards this decision. | ||

Let's face it, long term only IM and ST seem financially stable out of all eSF teams, and right now it's a question whether GOM will have enough teams to run GSTL. Kespa teams at least seem financially ok, with a good marketing skills and scene positioning. What do you think IM/ST will do when there's no GSTL to gain exposure? They will apply for membership in Kespa and most likely get it and Team 8 and EGTL might not be participating for the long run. I only feel sad about GOM, they did so much for SC2 but now eSF scene seems falling apart and I feel Kespa teams will in the end be the only sc2 teams in Korea remaining. | ||

Remember the whole money crap where fruitdealer and tester said they outright lied? and how many people here were attacking Coach Lee. | ||

Well that depends on the LoL scene as well, MVP for example has some success in LoL (like IM or KT) and it makes them much more stable due to the big viewership numbers in Korea. No doubt Sc2-only teams are a thing of the past, only the best should survive now that the LoL train to sponsorships departed a while ago. | ||

that is certainly not a good thing. I really enjoyed watching TSL perform well. Hopefully all the players will be able to transition to another team! | ||

I also highly doubt FXO is going anywhere anytime soon, they have Euro/NA branches too so I sincerely doubt they're doing poorly. | ||

Its a matter of fact that the team has been surrounded with controversy for a while now and most of it centered around the coach. I'm sure he means well but is probably not fit for management. I hope he lands on his feet as a coach but never again should he be responsible for managing a team. I'll say this again, I'm glad TSL is finally gone. The remaining players can now go to a better team. Fascination over this poorly ran team has always been carryover fanboyism from their early days or the fact that they had immensely popular players like Polt. | ||
