Wow, of all those retired players the only ones I've ever heard of were Sparta, Harrier, and Sound.

Well to be fair I have been expecting them to drop a few players ever since they picked up all of Zenex, was kinda hard to imagine a team supporting two teams, even with redbull money.

ST will be fine and afaik the head coach has been talking about this for a while now. Plus didn't they have 3 coaches + Ace?

Exactly, other than Sound, most of the retirements have been the former Zenex players. This is still a team that has a big roster and coaching staff after adding Zenex; if II'm not mistaken the old Zenex head coach is still there, maybe he'll get a promotion now.

Some drama definitely happened to ST.


It's just a joke / humble thing to say. He probably yells a lot (like a lovable angry, but not violent, dad) in the house or something.

10!? Now i am seriously confused.

Keep in mind that out of the ten or so that retired, most people probably didnt know half of them

It is actually 7 players:
Hoon
Brain
Balloon
Sparta
Harrier
Sound
SoN

Sound was really the only notable one. The others were pretty much ex-Zenex players who transferred over and never did too much :/

Sparta took nestea out of the GSL. Never forget

Yeah, sounds like a term of endearment to me, I wouldn't read too much into it. I do think it's odd that he's announcing retirement so early though. Considering ST's position in the GSTL isn't certain yet they probably could've done without any potentially demoralising news.

Yeah, I think you might have heard about Sparta. There is also one famous movie about Sparta..
