What the hell is happening to Startale? Is the coach really that unbearable or do all the star players want to join kespa teams?

Startale, I really hope things work out for them, they're one of the few teams that have been solid recently

Oh no. Did you just Fionn curse Startale?

Sigh
I thought Startale was gonna be one of these teams who would resist this.

The Khaldor documentary about Korean pro-teams showed that the ST players were really happy with the house, the coach and the players. I doubt it was conflict over the team itself, but likely PartinG and Squirtle knowing ST was a bit too small for their britches.

Man, I wish they had a trade block for eSF players whose contracts expire (to KeSPA, I mean). This is sad.

Why? There is a trade block, but playrs will always look to get the best deal they can. just business


Yeah, exactly. The trade block only blocks people that are contracted to an eSF team. And of course, but having the KeSPA teams drain all the eSF teams of the best players they have isn't great for the scene either. Kills competition and makes it even harder to raise the upn'comers that are on the KeSPA teams. I just feel bad for the teams tbh.

natural selection dude. And dont worry theres supposed to be a Rookie League, a Courage Tournament of sort

you cant blame him with the transition of SC2 he needs money in case his progaming carrer begins to go down, with so many new players and kespa players playing full time WoL and now HotS incoming.

Its a risky move but maybe a good one for him

I only mention the coach because he was the old president of ESF and did the whole practice block thing with slayers, so I called him Evil Coach Won.

But on the other hand, this may be a golden opportunity for new/lesser known players to shine

Very nice.
