Were the financial issues bound to KeSPa sponsoring or is the deal with JinAir actually so "bad" that they needed to cut 4 players? Just being curious! Maybe Jin Air wanted to pay less money to sponsor the team. | ||

IM and MVP are not in Proleague for other reasons than the total amount of teams. Proleague used to have 12 teams. | ||

I think JinAir is mainly in for LoL, and Team8 is the slot they can fill in, so they pick up team8 theorically. It doesn't mean that they will support SC2 team financially as much as LoL team. | ||

Yeah, they sponsored Brood War team WeMadeFox in the past and 3 OSLs including the second to last OSL but they were absent from SC2 till now so it makes sense that they are in it for the LOL team since its being added to Proleague. | ||

As to cutting players, even though their official statement is they didn't have money for them, it could be that they wanted to raise the standard significantly for the remaining players, so they can fully focus on the game. | ||

Well done Team8, going be strange not seeing them as Team8 though haahah. Should be great for them and the SPL and such. Can't wait for them to be able to sign some more players again. | ||
