I feel like this kind of a shakeup is fine, so long as Starcraft 2 remains an eSport. The teams are trimming their fat (in the form of players, what with all the retiring and stuff), and in turn, the scene is trimming the fat (in the form of "excessive" teams). So while it's sad the teams are dying (I realize Woongjin Corp. doing poorly financially is kinda unrelated, but let's not forget that the Stars were unable to secure another sponsor). Some German said something to a similar effect in one of these threads, and I just wanted to second that opinion. Anyway, onward to Proleague and Code S!

PS, Jin Air and SK Telecom are gonna be so stacked now... I'd ordinarily watch a match either of the played in anyway, but now I'm going to be having heart palpitations whilst doing so!

So SKT's Proleague lineup is:
Fantasy
Soulkey
Rain
Parting
soO
Classic

That seems pretty hard to beat imho O.O

RIP WJS indeed, even more sad when you realize they were the one of the oldest starcraft proteam. SKT looking pretty strong for Proleague, can't wait to see them perform.

hmm... too bad it's not a GSTL style league. they could seriously do some major damage in that format. I guess it's more interesting this way, like last when woonjin was lapping the field but lost at the end because of one bad series.

With zero players left, Woongjin Stars will be disbanding.

OH I SEE HOW IT IS. Some Startale fan, jumping ship to go hang with Parting. jkjk skill is cool but I've decided to fanatically cheer for MVP and IM this season. Join me GumBa! :D

Can't help it man. Soulkey, Rain, PartinG, soO, and FanTaSy

vs

Bomber, Curious, Hack, and Life

Bomber is still my boy, but Soulkey + Rain + PartinG + soO + FanTaSy > Curious + Hack + Life

This can only mean SKT will go down in flames. I remember the "dream team" talk last year...

Question, was Woonjin already kicked out of Kespa before this? They weren't going to be in proleague anyways right?
