IM, Prime, MVP leave eSF

LG-IM, Prime, and Team MVP have cancelled their registration to the eSF.

Soul joins eSF

Soul (former STX Soul) has joined the Esports Federation. Head Coach Kim Kim Gi stated "I'm very happy to join the eSF. We will work to create a good esports culture, and we'll try to attain the greatest result in GSTL alongside our Proleague victory. I believe the eSF and Soul can do a lot of things together."

The eSF stated "We welcome SOUL into the eSF, and we will help help the players so they can stably compete in the GSTL and participate in foreign tournaments."

So the GSTL champions are going to KeSPA.

The KeSPA champions are going to eSF.

While this whole mess is extremely bad for SC2 in Korea, you have to admit its fucking hilarious.

It's funny how all you people assume IM is going to proleague since they're not participating in GSTL. They have great money problems wince they have no main sponsor, that's probably the reason they're not participating in Proleague. Most IM players don't get paid, and those that do the money from from the Coach's pocket. Everyone's making all these disbanding rumours, they should be making them for these eSF teams...


EDIT: NVM, ignore that, didn't read IM and Prime quit the eSF and the other new rumours/dvelopments.

IM has two League teams. They want to join KeSPA to play in the LoL Proleague. They just rearranged their entire League roster and their #2 team made the Code A finals of Korean LoL.

Perhaps the Benny Hill theme would be somewhat appropriate?

Why would IM leave GSTL if they're not joining proleague/kespa, the only reason would be they're disbanding. They're not disbanding so they will join proleague/kespa. Seems fairly obvious to me.

I wonder how they will do in GSTL without Innovation, Classic, Mini or Hyvaa. This could be rather interesting.

It's all on you trap. No pressure you'll probably be the main reason whether soul will find a sponsor or not.

Yeah, I guess it will be. I'm also a bit worried that, without a sponsor, will they even be able to last long enough to reach the GSTL finals?
