If IM somehow miracle their way out of disbanding (which seems unlikely given that they only have 1 player in Lucky, but there have been some rumors), I don't think it would be impossible for there to be a tenth team. It could either involve a lot of convincing TotalBiscuit or other foreign teams joining together, sure, but it's still a possibility.


You gotta believe


With this announcement, Prime is dead.

IM only have 1 player in Lucky for their SC2 squat.

Unless those two teams decide to rebuild their squat, then PL is down to 6 teams.

Startale is in.


With what lineup? Life + Hack won't cut it for PL material.

Listen, as much as having more teams is good. We got to be realistic here. There is little chance that ST + MVP can perform up to par with CJ, Khan, T1, Rolster, and Green Wings.

What the former ESF teams should do is to come together, formulate one team with the best leftover players in order to even have a chance at reaching the playoff. That will improve the level of the games and competition. Instead we get sacrificial lambs


Should be okay, though. Think about all the walk-over teams in the NFL or the NBA.


Yeah those teams shouldn't exist either.

Yeah because teams that were once bad never work their way up to being good over time. That never happens.

Total fluke. Rain's team has more money so 99 times out of 100 he wins

Well DRG is gone. But with all these other players (not even including players outside the team just being mercs for MVP). MVP's overall roster is quite huge. At least they'll have a large in house practice roster.

@mongmong I think all the former mvp players are gone but can't be 100% sure.. The article says that the former MVP players were tired of playing in proleague, but did not leave on bad terms or anything.

Didn't notice that myself, but if that's the case. Then it does make sense. No matter how you look at it, if ALL their former players left, that can't be good. I can see some leaving, but all?

i would think DRG left because he didn't want to paly for MVP anymore. if it was a performance issue, well, DRG is easily better than every single newcomer MVP got here (was the only player from MVP to make it to code s).

Symbol, Seed and HerO are probably comparable overall. DRG isn't the one-and-only team league bonjwa any more, nor does he have the individual league results to back up such a decision. Hopefully he has something else lined up

DRG is at least still making Code S. I don't see how a player like Seed who wasn't able to make it past Code A in like over a year is comparable. Symbol yes. HerO has been really hit or miss ever since winning IEM

DRG can do whatever he wants, really. One of the most desirable players in every way. He sometimes streams, he loves going to foreigner tournaments, he's super personable and has a huge fan following, and he has a strong history of wins (code s, mlg, dreamhack, maybe more) and while he doesn't dominate as he used to, he's still a very relevant player. One of the players who has been in code s the most seasons, period. I've been tweeting at him for a while to try to encourage him to move in with Polt and Violet

Startale is recruiting atm, also if they want to get into PL, poaching the free agents is a very realistic move. Plus Axiom's Olimo was talking about IM's future (someone stated in the earlier pages I think), it looks good according to her.


They still have Pet, Panic and can get Curious back to Korea because he hadn't qualified for WCS America anyway.
And it's without new recruits.
It's not like people were arguing hard against AirForce ACE in BW days, so it's ok.

MVP will be ok, if Proleague doesn't change format back to bo7, you have to have 2-3 stable players and considering that they're having HerO, Seed, Leenock, LosirA, Symbol and YongHwa already + it's not confirmed that Super, Billowy and guys like Swagger left the team.

On the other hand, considering that they left because they were tired because of SPL, will be interesting to what foreign team do they go and if they go there at all.

Compare it with Prime last season who had 1,5 players until MKP came back and still were getting wins and just think about how volatile is bo5 in teamleagues.
