GSTL Season 2 announced, Team MVP, Prime and LG-IM not par…

Artosis curse too strong. + Show Spoiler + jk he doesnt even cast GSTL | ||

LG-IM don't have as good LoL teams, and their SC2 squad is much higher level, but I guess the money of being in the LoL Proleague and visibility to the sponsor would be good. Maybe if they can get into KeSPA then LG will start taking their sponsorship seriously. The Prime not participating is the one that really boggles my mind. It's kind of a fuck you to MKP, Byun, Creator and everyone on their team. They don't have a LoL team right now and are just going through the recruiting process. I guess it would make sense if Prime can find a major sponsor, get picked up by KeSPA, and their LoL team turns out to be worth it, but right now Prime is a group with no team league anymore, only one relevant player in tournaments (Maru) and no League team. | ||

sc2 is almost dead in korea, from what I hear? this move is like the worst possible thing. GSTL is now basically nonexistent, and without proleague to look forward, things look really grim. | ||

This is just, terrible. It's not even like Proleague is starting up again any time soon so IM MVP and Prime could have played in this before joining Kespa for 2014. I suppose the logical conclusion is that they didn't have a choice and had to leave in order to survive. Terrible for GSTL? Sure. For Korean SC2 scene? I don't think so, unifying the scene is the most important thing and this is (assuming IM, MVP and Prime really join SPL) very important step forward! And with the Kespa opening up, I also believe GOM will actually join them in the end and the unified teamleague will start from next year!

It's just the lack of teams that makes it sad. Yeah and it seems it will be very stiff competition, all the teams basically have a shot at winning! Format looks awesome and everything. I have never cared for GSTL, but I will be watching this season! | ||

It depends on if and when KeSPA will do a SC2 Proleague again. While a CJ, KT, SKT, Khan, Stars, Jin Air, Prime, LG-IM, and MVP Proleague sounds fucking awesome, I'm pretty sure the act of not participating for all three teams is directly related to League of Legends and not SC2. | ||

I think wax twittered earlier that korean teams would prefer it if their sc2 players would just switch to lol altogether. it is really sad, since sc2 is really strong in europe, like ridiculously strong and thriving, but both the korean and na scenes are slowly withering away. | ||
