it's more like that a team like Real Madrid is playing in a league of lower prestige,

like if real madrid is playing in russia (random country, no hate on russians lol), good team, good money, bad environment

korea need to make a step forward in order to keep their sustainability, its a fact that korea is not anymore the mecca of sc2

they need more money in their system (more tournaments and so on)

$0$ won more in a single tournament that the last proleague winner team, oh c'mon!

seems legit no one wants to stay there

Wow, I kind of expected PartinG to go after the twitter name change, but Rain?

A big section of SKT's recent trophy cabinet just left... I hope they can pick up a solid Protoss/Terran, but I'm glad my boiz Dark, soO and Soulkey are still there.
TRUE & Sacsri fan!

They refused to resign a contract, no release happened. And it's fine, I imagine SKT will just throw more money around and get new players (SKT.Innovation pretty much confirmed now)

Rain and Parting should just go to Samsung. Still get the KeSPA practice style, get to play in PL and Samsung is much more liberal of letting their players go to foreign tournaments.

Oh no, this is sad news. Now only soO and Paralyze remain from the old SKT.

I understand that Fantasy is leaving since he didn´t get a lot of playing time.
If he doesn´t find a nice team he could even switch back to broodwar, which is kind of recovering.

But Rain and Parting looked pretty solid and were fielded regularly.
I hope they stay in Proleague at least. Well, TL would be nice as well

CJ would be similar i guess.

WHY? Sad day, I want to go home and hug SKT jersey Now only SoulKey remains (my view, obv.)
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Acer it's time for a Protoss!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Ohwow.

Well for me SKT1 was mostly Parting and Rain... I think they'll do a Dear, go overseas and come back to Kespa.
It's good to be back

with how parting wants foreign fans to cheer him and visit foreign tournaments more often, it just seems like victor needs to call and tell him that the money spot opens up on liquid.

if they then get DRG aswell all is well in the world again.

Now i'm no longer a Rain fan. Not because I dislike his choice to depart, but because I can't bear to see on of the greats, one of the best to play the game be reduced to challenger league or Code A fodder. Not a single KeSPA elephant managed to pull off the level of success they had in Korea when on foreign teams. Even players like the robot terran, the double royal roader came back because of terrible skill drops. Hoping that no foreign team manages to get his interest and he just walks back to KeSPA.
