Congrats on being the Korean team with the most depth again, IM... Sucks that ST lost it's two best Protoss players in less than 2 weeks. :\

I thought hidden drama for sure, but post clarifies it out very clearly.

Too bad for Startale though, two protoss heavy hitters O_O
Still a strong team to say the least.

Sad to see StarTale lose another good protoss player. ST still has quite a large roster since their merger with ZeNEX. Hope Squirtle can find a decent team that suits his needs.

Not every ESF player is a Squirtle/Parting.

Most KeSPA teams are already saturated enough with talent and contracts. A Parting, Squirtle, or a top end player can do this, say no to ESF, and try to get a contract from KeSPA. If everyone does that, KeSPA will just stop bidding and those players will have nowhere to go.

Life is on contract until mid-2013 apparently, so no leaving for him.

Because Koreans haven't left their teams before for lucrative foreign contracts that didn't exist.

So we can quantify personality now?^^

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

Parting is ofc really extroverted and feels comfortable in the spotlight, while aLive does not. That's right, but that doesn't mean he has "less" of a personality(being shy also shows personality) and I think it's extremely arrogant to say things like this. I don't care which type of personality you prefere, but please don't talk about it in such a manner. You can't do much about your charakter and I doubt aLive is happy that he's so shy/introverted(atleast most people don't enjoy being shy). Just imagine how he has to feel, knowing there are dozens of people on the internet claiming "I don't like this guy, he has no personality!".

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)?

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.

Parting has more personality and better recent results than Squirtle, but he'll still probably get a nice salary from a KeSPA team if he switches now.

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?^^


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


And you are free to do so, but saying "x has more personality than y" sounds like "Hm, X has 15 personality, while Y only has 9, therefore X is a more likeable person."

I dont know if this was mentioned but bomber yday said on his stream that this will be his last gsl (i guess because of army, he got summons not long ago as he mentioned in his up and down interview), meaning that startale's core will be shattered in a few months.



Bomber later said in his streamchat that he was just joking.


Yeah never believe bomber when he says he's going to the military. When he goes I'm not going to believe it until several months after it happens.

I remember saying the same thing in his fanclub once, lol. It made everyone really really sad.

Most heartbreaking april fools ever >.<

Virus!

There's been surprisingly little speculation about where Squirtle's going now. Given that he didn't resign with ST due to money, Kespa seems a likely answer, although I don't know what other teams would have a higher budget than StarTale.

Here's for hoping that Squirtle and Parting both get onto Kespa teams, steal all their awesome training secrets, and come back to ST in 6-12 months in an elaborate scheme to cure StarTale of inconsistency.

its not a big deal to me
weren't squirtle and parting essentially kespa b teamers back in the day?

hypothetically If kespa switched to sc2 right away these players would be on kespa teams anyways shredding it anyways
so we shouldn't be that surprise... salary from a stable corporation or a foreign dependent team? not that hard of a decision

remember kespa is not as evil as this forum makes it seem

Is Startale taking up the Zenex torch most recently carried by the late TSL?
