They might as well switch teams before HotS, while they are still marketable, because if they aren't as successful on HotS they will be stucked.

Damn, Startale's two best protoss players gone. Does Squirtle plan on going to a Kespa team too, or will he go to IM (since he's good friends with Losira)?


I'd be shocked. IM probably has the most bank of the ESF teams but I highly doubt they can offer Squirtle a good salary and keep sustaining everyone else. They've done a good job with pacing themselves on adding new players and nourishing they're weaker players. Just seems unlike them, they tend to go for smaller names like Byul, First, and Fenix.

edit: actually, doesn't FXO have a lot of money too? Maybe he'll go there >.>

Damn, what the hell. Parting - ok, but Parting and Squirtle - fucking terrible.

That would be kinda awesome, but I highly doubt it will happen. IM is one of the healthiest teams in terms of money, but the only free agent they (ever) recuted was Byul and there were alot of teamless players this year.

When someone like Harrier or Brain tell ST to fuck off, try to join KeSPA, and then watch when no one bids on them, then we can say it was a stupid move. Squirtle and ST couldn't come to terms with money and we'll see if he can get a better job elsewhere.

So we can quantify personality now?^^

I assume being a KeSPA A teamer is the most prestigious thing you can do as a starcraft player, especially if he was a former BW b-teamer (not sure on that) o also the matches being on television and the exposure helps.

In close cases, no. But it doesn't take a genius to figure out someone like PartinG has more personality than say, aLive.

jesus! seriously Squirtle? Why don't you ask Blizzard to pay you for playing StarCraft II?
Those "smart" guys think Cannabis Oil can treat some pain and that's it. They have no idea that Cannabis Oil will actually completely kill the cancer, cure and recover the body to the full. Do a research and be amazed how easy it is to kill cancer.

Yes, I can qualify that Parting's personality is more desirable than Squirtle's.

LOL at all the StarTale is collapsing crap in this thread. (you know what would be funny, if they announced HyuN & Symbol as new members next week or something lol)

Yes they lost 2 great players... but...

They still have 4 players in the upcoming season of Code S (Life, Curious, Bomber, Hack)
They still have one of the deepest teams in sc2 (alongside Incredible Miracle)
They still have Life (their best player)

While losing Parting & Squirtle is a significant hit to their team its nothing ST can't recover from.

Maybe we'll see more use of TREME in team leagues

Squirtle was a former BW B-teamer on WMF.

Damn, would suck to see ST being the next eSF team buckling to the allure of kespa teams.

Yeah, ST isn't down for the count at all yet, but it's just sad to see a major household name leave one of the most established ESF teams. Squirtle's been on the team forever, so I see this as a much bigger hit than losing PartinG.

This is almost a bigger downer than when Genius left MVP after all his bromance with DRG :/

Wow, ever since PartinG...I think other contracted players in other eSF teams will do the same. Startale seemed like such a good team though, w/ Red Bull and all...
