Things aren't looking good for the ESF if all their top players keep on going to KESPA teams if that's what Squirtle's intent is.

I recomputed the team rankings after the recent changes.

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.

I'm really sad to see StarTale lose both Parting and Squirtle
I hope they still keep on trucking and not more players drop off.

Man, poor Startale. As much as I like SKT1, they already picked up PartinG. I really like Squirtle, but for the sake of competition, I hope he ends up on a different team.

I hate to be really, really cynical...but given how KeSPA has decided to "arrange" the seeding of players to their own teams one could almost see this as yet another move in the war against GOM.

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.

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

Startale got no protoss now. I mean. Brain and Ace might be alright, but not on the same level.

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^^)

or: good players are going to be given good contracts for giving good tournament results.

it would be REALLY weird if all of a sudden esf players and kespa players weren't competing in each other's tournaments. the fans would get angry, everyone would get bad PR, kespa would be committing suicide.

really don't need to be jumping to conclusions here.
