Eventually the teams will have to dissolve because of lack of interest? hope not but this is what happens from a mass migration | ||

SKT doesn't need you, and KT won't make you their ace player. Other teams don't have money. | ||

I don't think Squirtle can ask for nearly as much money as Parting, the last time Squirtle got a good result was WCS KR way back in August. | ||

Instead of trying to create a bigger scene and unify both leagues, they will try and starve the ESF teams and gomtv if this trend continues I won't renew my PL subscription! | ||

Well, it doesn't really starve gomtv unless they pull out of GSL again, It's not like Parting and Squirtle are dropping out of Code S. | ||

What i think is that it's like having 2 federations of the same sport with the same rules in the same country. It's kinda lame and pointless and will always put them under stress and against each other since they are more then rivals, they will always try and starve each other. Anyways gl to them, I still prefer and root for ESF players and especially gomTV! | ||

Whats going to win out/"get bigger", brand new gsl teams or Samsung/CJ/SKT/KT name recognition (especially as those kids all play LoL now probably). Kespa has the money and wants to reel them back. | ||

Maybe Samsung or CJ could throw their hat in the ring, but KT would be the favorite. Squirtle also kinda looks like Wooki's brother, so it works. | ||
