Remember how I kept insisting StarTale wasn't that stable?

;_;

Might need to find a new team.

Oh dear. I am worried about the scene of SC2- teams folding, team houses closing, free agent market flooding with talent...

I really hope that HotS has new teams come out of the woodwork so we can keep the scene going or even expand it. This makes me sad, Startale is one of my favourite teams.

Good luck Squirtle. And good luck to all the non-Kespa teams that have to compete with the money they have.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

So what's the deal with KeSPA? better salaries? because i don't think they can enter many other tourneys and get money from there since their leagues are so time consuming and demand full on practice?

Wow I read the title of the post and was shocked. Good luck to Squirtle, but this is just crazy.

It speaks to Startale that they can lose both Parting and Squirtle and yet they're still a top 5 ESF team. They'll be okay, no worries.

I hope he doesn't go to Kespa. Didn't Kespa and eSF have an agreement not to take players from each other anyway?

geez, do any of the esf teams offer a salary? I can understand their no-namers only getting room and board but they can't expect to have good players and still not pay anything.

Pretty sure HoSeo is going to be the last ESF team standing. It'll be 2034, and I'm pretty sure jjakji, Tassadar and the rest will just be chilling at HoSeo university, not in any SC2 tournaments but still considered a team that gets free housing.

Can't stop HoSeo.


This. And the former members will rejoin slowly over the years. San, Seal, Freaky, Sting, Sage, they'll all be back as the nonHoSeo teams slowly die out, and the retired members realise normal life just isn't for them.

It will be glorious.

For players whose contract have expired, it does not apply.

Man, I was just beginning to love Startale. This always happens to my favorite teams with a lineup of awesome players. :\

Smart. Kespa teams can only take on so many new players. The ones who can leave esf teams first will have the biggest benefit. The rest run the risk of the league being full and having to make due on their current teams.
STX Fighting!
