Damn it. I hate seeing teams have to downsize. Startale held out longer than many of the other teams though. I hope these decisions help in the long run with keeping the team together.

I mean, Bomber was the only reason I stayed a Startale fan for 2013, but I didn't realize how much the team relied on him to bring in revenue

Makes sense though. When there's no GSTL, why would you keep so many players. Startale has always been a bit of an oversized organization, it's not necessarily a bad thing that they are downsizing, if it means that the remaining organization is more efficient and stable.

Hell Axiom-Acer won GSTL with 7 players, you don't really need such a massive roster.

Damn, this really sucks. Makes you miss the old days of Bomber, Squirtle, PartinG, and Curious.

It'll be interesting to see where they go from here. Maybe pick up one or two of the free agents that are around? Bomber's departure probably opened up some good salary money.

Also Pet and Panic. They both played in GSTL a lot; Panic actually looked pretty good (Pet not as much). I hope there's at least some limited GSTL like was suggested a few days ago so we see some of them in a team league again.

I doubt "downsizing" the team is very compatible with picking up free agents. Sad to see Avenge go, he had been around for a long time and was just now really starting to make a mark.
