Not very surprising, but still nice to see a new team almost officially confirmed for GSTL with TSL dead and Fnatic looking like they don't have enough players to enter. Source: http://www.gamespot.com/news/starcraft-ii-players-heart-and-alicia-to-sign-with-axiom-gaming-6402187 | ||

Nice to see Alicia finally get a team, though. I was worried he had switched to LoL. EDIT: Providing this is true, which it seems to be. | ||

I don't know what I feel about MMA being allowed though; the only reason I felt they allowed MC was because he was the only one on SK.Gaming's SC squad. It seems nice, though, I'd definitely cheer for Axiom if they're allowed to play w/ that lineup. Stephano would have been allowed to play for TSL, Nani and SaSe could have played for Startale, it is not that uncommon to have such an agreement, just in this case the team is a lot smaller which would make MMA much more likely to actually play. | ||

You didn't read properly.... the situation is similar to MC and IM. MMA [might] play for Axiom but will still be with Acer. | ||

That makes....perfect sense actually. Several ex-slayers members, GSTL participation, team house. Cella would be a great choice for a coach. But of course, it largely depends on Acer and a mutual agreement between the players, Axiom and Acer. | ||

Puzzle " switched to LoL " whatever that means, I don't think he's on any kind of professional team. Every sc2 player that " switches to LoL " doesn't accomplish anything it seems. | ||

I hope it ends up being a smart venture for them. They're sort of an ex-SlayerS team at this point, and they obviously have a lot of talent. However, they also seemed to have picked up the group of players who were accused of the troublemaking that led to SlayerS demise (as long as they don't hire "Manager J" they should be okay though ;p). If they can get this crowd back into form though, then they'll have a sick team. I hope they do it soon though, because otherwise they're going to be relying on streaming/merchandise/TB and Husky's pockets for funding. | ||

No one actually knows what he's doing, It's likely he tried to go " pro " in the game for a few months, couldn't find a team and retired from pro gaming entirely. Same with Puzzle, Min, Brave, sC, Grape, and a bunch of other people I'm forgetting. If anyone actually knows a success story for the Korean players who " switch " I would love to hear it, because I haven't seen or heard anything about these guys since they retired from starcraft. | ||

Partnering with Acer would mean both teams joining forces, which would be even better (Scarlett on GSTL, let it happen!). | ||

Ok, confession time. Coca, Puzzle and Min have actually been living in my basement for the past 3 months. We don't play LoL or SC2 all that much, mostly just Monopoly and Looping Louie | ||

I can't imagine that TB is completely out of the loop in day to day things, but you are right in the Genna does play a large if not the largest role in management. For some reason I am seeing TB's fingerprints more so than Genna, and it may just be because I can so distinctly hear him singing Alicia and Heart's praises during casts from various tournaments. | ||

LG-IM Startale MVP Prime NSHS FXO Azubu Axiom I wonder what will happen if the rumors of another Korean team disbanding are true and we will (again) end up with 7 teams. EG-TL joining GSTL would rape their players scedule( PL, GSTL, GSL, foreign events and OSL later this year), so I highly doubt they will also play there. | ||
