Selective translating of rumors. Because there are always more rumors.

not in: ZvT, TvT, ZvZ
So basically, remove protoss from the game.

That's being generous tbh.
TvT is watchable, remove other races from the game. Plus makes it perfectly balanced.

hyvaa was asking around for a team recently, so unless he suddenly changed his mind he hasn't retired
Looks like Hyvaa is really only "jobless" for now

You all know that this is going to happen sooner or later anyway; such is eSports.

No, it's not.

I can agree that his exaggeration is a major problem with the game. I just don't understand how people can say this while massive crowds enjoy watching people farm NPCs for 40 minutes with ~5 minutes of actual player vs player combat sprinkled in during that farming phase. Especially when you add that the game snowballs horribly and the team that is winning at the 12 minute mark has close to an 80% winrate.
Games like dota/lol are fun to play but are not really fun to watch.

So it's a reorganization of the Kespa teams, pretty much. With the news of the changes in that entire organization (mostly due to the changing nature of the eSports scenes), that's really not a surprise.
The loss of a few teams isn't too surprising. Title sponsors actually come and go pretty quickly, if you look back through Kespa's history.
GOM will still be going, while doing their other bits, most of the GSTL teams are still around. The foreign scene is going pretty strong and the big events are doing well. There's a very active European scene and there is still plenty of money left in the Korean scene.
We should probably be more concerned about the lack of top-tier Americans and tournaments Stateside. Apparently we need to grow more Plott Brothers.
