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


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.


Not samsung, the team samsung Khan is one of the poor team in proleague.

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



Of course we hope this won't be true, but from whats been happening so far this really seems like the trend that will happen


Maybe the lucky ones will get what they want but what about the rest? Eventually the teams will have to dissolve because of lack of interest? hope not but this is what happens from a mass migration

Come to STX, squirtle. They are not as cool as SKT or KT, but they are still rich, and need you.

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

Well, KeSPA does have nice salaries. I think it's only worth going to a KeSPA team if Squirtle already practices a ton a day.

if kt and sk were the only ones to offer a bid for parting, does this mean kt is most likely to snatch squirtle?
since other teams werent going after parting (i assume), i'd imagine they wouldnt go for squirtle either.

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.

So sad, it's really lame what kespa is doing.

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.

I'm not saying kespa should give money to gom of ESF teams. Neither i'm saying ESF players shouldn't go there for a better salary or atleast some salary.

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!

i'm just the opposite...only because i grew up watching bw.
i'm rooting for kespa teams and players XD

and kespa isnt doing anything. squirtle and parting shows interest in joining kespa team, for money mainly i guess, but is kespa suppose to say "no, you belong in esf"???

and this doesnt hurt gomtv. gsl is a league.

they are trying to get a bigger scene. proleague/the chaebols that own proleague teams are much bigger than gsl ever would be and the teams hope to revive what BW had (except for LG being the only gsl chaebol).

also all those chaebols picked up LoL teams which is gigantically huge right now (CJ, KT has 2 teams, SKT, LG) and the proleague teams had/have special forces teams (where LoL and special forces are #1 and #2 in pc bang rankings)

don't know how you can get bigger than the leading chaebols that give players 100,000,000 KRW salaries.

edit: those 21% of high school males (age 16-19) that watched the 2011 proleague grand finals in south korea are only 1.5 years older. 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.

Cool that Parting joined SKT T1, but I love Squirtle, so I dearly hope he doesn't go to KT.

He probably will if the salaries are similar. 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.
