Chances are pretty good that this will be the case. Although, Squirtle's salary may be lower than Parting's so perhaps more teams will join the bid this time.

So in a year from now there won't be any Korean teams other than those in Proleague.


i really hope that isnt true, i love gom and the GSL still trumps the OSL for skill IMO


Well techincally if KeSPA teams were all that remained they would be the players in the GSL so the GSL skill level wouldnt be affected.

Yeah I think he will go to KT since they lost out on Parting.
But It would be so much better if some of the bad teams would pick up a solid player like this.


wow didnt know kespa teams had that much money

I've had a feeling Squirtle would pick KeSPA over foreign teams. His past with MBC Hero makes him a lot more comfortable with KeSPA, and he knows the players and coaches well.

Considering the main sponsors? It should come as no surprise. They always were in control when it came to the BW scene and now they're increasing the wages so to speak because of the growth.

Bisu? Lol'd sorry


With Squirtle to invent builds for him, Bisu would surely take at least a few GSLs.

He was on WeMadeFOX, not MBC.

STX.Soul Squirtle would be fine.

While I can see more players going this direction, I don't think that we can start saying RIP eSF quite yet. Startale has been fairly unstable lately, with a sort of slow stagnation. I think, even with their success, they just haven't been pulling the results their players want. We need to wait and see for more players from more teams to start leaving before we can call it.

This reminds me of when Puma went to EG and then quite a few players figured they could make money going to a foreign team so they copied him.

I was mad at STX for not entering the Parting lottery. I would feel further betrayed if they then went for Squirtle.

Unfortunate reality where money > everything and you can't blame individuals for their choices.. But you can blame the establishment that has the firm grip on money. Only way to stop this exodus is for existing eSF teams to gain strong sponsorships that are more or less equal to Kespa teams in funding.

SKT and KT are the two largest Telecom companies in South Korea, and you obviously know who Samsung is... I think these 3 have the top budget of them all.
