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.


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.

I am almost certain that the Startale players hold Coach Won in extremely high regard.

This doesnt mean startale is falling apart.... contracts expire around this time every year and players come and go. Now, instead of them leaving to go to the foreign scene which is dried up they go to kespa teams. Parting probably told Squirtle how much hew as going to receive from kespa and Squirtle also decided it would be a good idea. Nothing wrong with that.

The players themselves have never breathed a bad word about him. Ace even stuck his hand in the fire during the entire incident to defend him, so I don't think he's nearly as "evil" as you seem to think.

I think with HotS on the horizon, securing a salary is a main concern of the players now, since their success isn't assured in the upcoming months.

ST should still be safe, they have the Red Bull sponsorship, along with Life. Plus, there are not in the financial struggles, team management or player conflict issues like the other three, so I doubt ST will go the way of oGs/SlayerS/TSL yet.

Never argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Besides money, is there any reason that people want to join a KeSPA team. I was under the impression that a lot of people left KeSPA teams because they were like prison.

Was sad when Parting left but at least there was still Bomber and Squirtle!

He is my favorite toss and I hope he finds an awesome team...
