Hero will have no problem joining Startale as a mercenary considering Life's ZvP is as awful as Hero's. Just kidding

Maybe could AxiomAcer join the side with startale?


TB has stated many times Axiom won't be in PL just because of how long PL lasts. Most of his players play in WCS AM and can't be in AM and KR at the same time to do WCS and PL matches, I'm pretty sure he said it's not viable for sponsors either, Axiom doesn't have KR sponsors, PL is best for teams with KR sponsors. Plus if the players themselves don't want to play in PL then he isn't going to force them to.

Only way we're likely to see AxiomAcer players is if some kind of partnership deal is set up for Impact or Inno with one of the PL teams given that they're the only AxAcer players who play in the GSL currently.


Depends. If the landscape changes in 2015 and Proleague needs a team to fill out the roster, we would play for the benefit of the fans. It is so important that Korean Starcraft stays alive, a collapse of the infrastructure over there could easily doom the game.

As long as thats the criteria for you to go to PL I hope you never join the league. Would really like for a not doomed starcraft!

If Axiom were to do that, would the partnership with Acer continue?

Way to go Startale! You used to be the biggest and baddest, I hope this leads to a resurgence in your form as a team.

Good question. Axiom probably does not have the depth to sustain a season of PL by themselves.

I beg my pardon, but all this partnership/merging stuff is no good for such an established league as SPL. I really hope that Kespa does everything to prevent such things in the next season. Eg/TL (with park) was fun to watch, Stim was such a joke. Overall, STIM was the worst team in the season. The IDEA behind the team is essential. ONE GOAL ONE DREAM. Best example of that was PRIME. Struggling in every round they showed so much passion and hunger for victory, creator/Mkp combo just made my cry several times. These guys played as one. On the other hand, temporary unions only bring disorientation and blur both tream's goals.

You do realize that Prime was way worse than IM in PL this season, right?

Anyway, I kinda agree with you but mostly because partnerships are temporary and we all want stuff that goes in the long run...

Great stuff.

They used to have a rookie draft for BW right?

I wonder if that would be a good thing for SC2?

I mean, any player that ST develops will get a better contract at one of the 5 brand name teams. So the brand name teams get the hype, so they get the sponsors, so they get the dollars, so they get to poach promising rookies.

Or was it always like that?
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

Rookie Draft worked differently than this, more like NBA draft. It would be fun if it came back but I'm not sure if it would work in today's SC infrastucture

Nono, Prime was the "joke". Prime was basically a shitty amateur clan trying to compete with professional teams. Players like Terror, Kassia, Departure couldn't even have made a debut in proleague if they were on other 'pro' teams. Look how they used Creator who should've been a PvP sniper rather than being dragged out to every ace match (if Prime somehow made it ) hoping for opponent team to send a protoss. Their roster got slightly better after MKP returned from retirement. but even MKP couldn't save Prime from being the worst team in proleague.
