For a while IM has recruited players, amongst them Squirtle, Byul and Trap. Now in turn they have to let some players go. IM isn't dwindling at all, in fact this is exactly what defines IM; staying relevant by not falling into the trap of getting complacent, fostering talent and not being afraid to give new players exposure. Though we let go of some old players, we've kept the roster alive by recruiting players and seeing them become stronger while on the team. I do think IM is sorta between rosters at the moment though, there'll be some downtime after which the team should emerge in a strong state. And hey, Proleague is the perfect way to do this. IM hwaiting! | ||

![]() But I'm a bit sad that Yoda is no longer on IM. Their team does not look as deep for PL ![]() | ||

Sorry, I still don't get it. He resides in Taiwan, that makes him a resident, no? Isn't that the very definition of residency? Or is he commuting to Sweden or something? ![]() | ||

I dont remember the exact terms of that, but I know BreakerTV does, you might want to send him a PM if you are interested in further details. | ||

Good luck for the players in their new teams." I really don't understand the Korean language/culture. Everything also seems so self-derogatory, pessimistic and depressing. | ||

Maybe he is staying there on a tourist visa or something like that then. I'm not interested in details per se, I just hope everyone get a fair treatment and that the same rules applies everywhere. Sase will hopefully do well in WCS EU instead, which makes it a lot easier for me to watch him play. ![]() | ||

But if those Koreans think they'll have it easy in EU or NA they will have a rude awakening. There are not nearly enough big foreign teams to support all these Koreans. I guess we'll see a bunch more retirements in the near future which is sad. But SC2 is just not big enough for so many professional players ![]() Yeah I totally agree with this. When Kespa switched to SC2, the influx of new players took the scene past its sustainability point. I think all these retirements recently are less about the popularity of the game declining, and more about the game naturally getting back to a point of equilibrium. | ||
