http://aligulac.com/teams/?sort=ak Startale is still #1 in the AK format, but they lost out in the PL format. In both formats, Startale, MVP and SKT seem to be very even, and a bit ahead of the rest. | ||

Gradually drain all the ESF teams of their best players through lucrative contracts as their current contracts end. Then pull all KeSPA players out of GSL on the basis of being "too busy". This didn't work last time because ESF threatened to pull their own players from OSL, but if KeSPA already has most of the best GSL competitors then that kind of threat isn't going to work as well for ESF. I just hope I'm being massively overly paranoid, but I wouldn't put ANYTHING past KeSPA. -_- Regardless this is sad, PartinG and now Squirtle; but if it means they get good money it was probably the right choice for them personally. Although there is one mildly amusing spark in that whenever I read about moves like this I have that "elephant in the room" article in the back of my mind; almost comical how wrong that has turned out to be. | ||

Dirty money ripping teams apart. Kind of expected though. Hope he finds a good team. | ||

Well. They still have Life, Bomber, Hack, and the Code S Guardian. So they won't get smacked around in GSTL but still. Sucks to see how kespa sucks the life out of ESF. But they just got the better organized and well funded teams. Maybe that was the elephant in the room after all. Maybe Kespa players will never dominate in SC2 like they used to, but Kespa teams sure as hell will. (Or Squirtle goes foreign team^^) | ||
