That's what I thought about Slayers and oGs as well. With iconic members like Boxer and Nada, and fan favorites like MC and MMA, how could these teams possibly collapse?

But if Startale wants to survive, they needed to reduce their roster. Too many players when they don't compete in a teamleague, it's simply unnecessary.

Thats not how you "survive". It seems that Startale's management simply doesnt have the vision to develop and sustain the team. Their LoL squad disbanded, dota2 disbanded and soon will the sc2 one. Meanwhile look at Prime & IM, after steering through hardship, they compete in SPL, own 2 LoL teams and are exposed to more potential sponsorship (the very first reason Gerrard wanted to join KeSPA).
I expect the team to go kaputt in a few months.

Red Bull Stars to join Proleague in the second round and still somehow make the playoffs and take the championship. The money buys back Naniwa, Squirtle, PartinG and Bomber.

One can dream.

The team barely manages to get into the all-kill sections of Proleague, after hard victories over great teams like IM, Prime, and MVP.

Now, to win the championship, all StarTale must do is win the all kill. Life, on his seventeenth birthday, decides that he's bored of screwing around and it's time to play seriously. He proceeds to singlehandedly defeat the entirety of the Korean scene over the course of two weeks.

StarTale is reinvigorated, and SKT players begin to defect to ST for a better contract. All is right with the world.

dont know but it kind of feels a bit like blizzard was by far to laid back with their starcraft 2 release/setup of the game to build enough following to be really competative with all the "new" games. now they opening up the arcade and all that for free at a point in time where it feels kind of too late.

all the rest, the team problems and all that just follows from that and i fear it will get worse
I might be wrong but I'm not.

Unfortunately we haven't had a star of every race for almost a year now.

Also, I would note that before Red Bull was in love with Bomber, they were in love with Life, even tweeting about his championships on their main (not-eSports) twitter. So don't be so surprised if he gets a big enough salary to stick around.


Why sponsor Life through Startale when they could just sponsor Life, especially now that being on startale has no benefits.
