I also love Bomber, his series vs Idra at MLG Orlando is my favorite SC2 series of all-time. Good luck in WCS NA Bomber. no way startale will shut down with red bulls support.
Startale doesn't have much support from Red Bull, just Life and Bomber.
What will actually save them is that NSL money. Thanks Dota.

Bomber is nothing like Puma, he has a huge fanbase and respectable stream viewership(for sc2 standards)

The face of StarTale goes down -.-...
OT, but what exactly has esF done? I know they don't have the financial backing of Kespa's, but I'm kinda baffled that in all this time I've yet to hear anything come out of esF (outside of the Slayers drama).

Really hope Bomber finds a good team, and ST won't shut down

Must agree here. EG is already somewhat heavily loaded, and none of us see JD leaving anytime soon. However, Taeja has been vocal (on an inconsistent level I admit,) about retiring once he "makes it big"(paraphrase). Let's face it Taeja is BIG. So if Taeja is leaving within a few months, it could stand to reason that Bombalomb would be a perfect fit. Especially considering his inclination to play foreign tournaments.

I really hope it's not EG, but they have the money so they certainly could if they want to. I know they have had success with Jaedong and everything, but most of their players actually end up relaxing. That could quite possibly be attributed to the fact that EG doesn't have strict training regulations as compared to Korean teams. Jaedong just seems to be self-motivated, he's a unique case.
I have nothing to back this up, as I can see neither did you KenZee. However, from my understanding from a few comments I've heard Rotterdam make and Wolf\Brendan, Korean teams pay a better salary, AND the cost of living is cheaper. However, to counterpoint that, foreign teams are willing to invest more money into flights\travel\housing abroad for fun foreign tournaments (which we all love!)

In foreign e-sports, which caster has been fairly consistently allied to redbull????
Day[J] for the win. (After Hours Gaming League; Red Bull Training Grounds; Red Bull Battle Grounds)
I could see Day[9] crafting a team with Bomber, and Life and perhaps other recently released players.... Revival, Alive, Oz, etc... kind of in the style of Axiom and Total Biscuit.
Thoughts?

My wish/dream: LiquidBomber - he is a sick good terran, has a great personality and would fit Liquid almost 100%.
Reality: Money makes the world go round, so it's gonna be EG or Acer.
|
Oh damn x.x I hope he goes to either EG or SKT...
|
Liquid never picked up players right at their top notch level. Whether it was HerO or Taeja. Nazgul picked them up before they were the powerhouses they are today.
Bomber is a great character and would fit in very nicely but i don`t think that Liquid is going to pick him up (even if i would love to see that).

I wonder who'll pick up him assuming he will retire in ~1 year. Don't see why any big korean team will be interested in him very much, there's enough of younger and not retiring talents.
Liquid, EG and Acer... Don't think so. Liquid never will sign a non zerg player ever again or so it seems, EG + Monster + RB = not gonna happen, besides they've got JD who's more popular and got much better results last year (and not retiring). And Acer got 2 top tier terrans already, who are not retiring as well. Axiom and Zombiezubu... don't think so either. Not sure of Axiom is interested in another player or can even afford it and Azubu got 9 players already, which is way too many.
Will be sad to see if some b-tier foreign team will get him though, he deserves more. But even if he will join any of those "why do they even exist?" teams (no names, so I won't start the flame war), I won't blame him. May as well get some easy cash if someone offer you that.

Are EG able to support two top tier Koreans? If so, I am just waiting until "Bomber to EG" announcement.

Bomber is a great character and would fit in very nicely but i don`t think that Liquid is going to pick him up (even if i would love to see that). What about Snute? He was at his top notch level, came fresh of a Premier Tournament victory and was an established name in Europe for a long time.

may be Startale disband

Don`t see him joining Acer. They have two top notch terrans in Innovation and MMA. Why another one? Don`t see that coming.
What `bout Mouz? They`ve already signed a top player in Dear as a Protoss. Why not another Terran since Lucifron is currently not living up to his reputation.

He specifically said that he wants to play on foreign tournaments, most likely to maximize prize money before military service/retiring. SKT1 has sent his aces around a bit in the past, but not that much, and their focus is clearly in SK.
