Wow...Never been a Rain fan but it would be disappointing to see such a great player join a foreign team.

WHAT? I don't blame Fantasy, he doesn't get much playing time. The others two are intriguing.

Fantasy to LoveTV Starleague?

SKT could be making room for big pickups considering how much cash they just freed up.

The three players declined to re-sign with SK Telecom.

Parting and Rain are probably the two best paid players on SKT, even Fanta might be well paid considering his accomplishments, seniority and wasn't he captain too? Parting is on apparently $66K/year, rain probably similar, maybe SKT were like we'll offer you two-thirds that next season and they're like gtfo.

If the last four years of sc2 have taught us one thing, it's that if a team's best players decide to leave all at the same time, the boat is listing. Badly.

Fantasy without SKT... It's like seeing Flash without KT.

edit: Liquid`Rain would sound good, but I doubt TL can offer a salary close to the SKT was giving him.

But liquid will send him everywhere, and he is good enough to have high finishes in tournaments and make lots of money
Look at liquidhero
He made 8k at a random tournament in china the other day, by beating puck and mcsed

Like any other team will offer them more money....

The only original T1 left is soO This doesnt affect T1's strength much though, they are gonna PigBaby & Bogus and finish top2 next PL with ease. The only problem is whos gonna fill Rain's ace vacancy

MVP.Rain gogo make it happen Choya :3
MVP is only missing a Protoss of decent substance in their roster, they have decent enough Terran and good Zergs, just need that muscle toss.

But please Rain stay in Pro League. However pretty sure one of PartinG/Rain will be on Jin Air next season.

Well, Taeja said he's planning to retire sometimes soon so that should free up quite a bit of money for Liquid...

Nobody can replace Rain. He went 5-0 in play-offs and they still lost.

Paralyze is a "original" T1, isn't he? 'Sides, Fantasy was the only one of these three who was an original T1 anyways.
