What, please next time before you that kind of a statement make sure you know what are you talking about... 1) Prime will be participating in next PL 2) They are not disbanding 3) They got a new main sponsor KTC and for the first time in their team history pay their players a proper salary 4) Maybe you doubt that they will live much longer, but they are in fact getting new players, and just recently got Myungsik | ||

Now they're actually looking better than ever (got salaries for the first time ever), they just need the players/results now. | ||

How surprising, I guess I haven't been keeping up. That's good, I'm happy for them but this is very unexpected. I mean they did very poorly in proleague, their lineup is terrible and they have players leaving, I thought they just couldn't keep the miracle going anymore. I mean they survived TSL, IM, FXO, Slayers and a long list of better teams. | ||

Take MarineKing.Prime, back in the days of WoL, he was a consistant Code S player, even placing 2nd in 2011 by losing only to the "King of Wings" Mvp. Not to mention he won an MLG arena, a tournament in which all players at the time were Code S, except for Huk, he was the only foreigner. Creator.Prime is another example. He place 2nd in the in the first ever WCS global finals which took place in China. He lost to Parting, who is a ridiculous protoss player. Creator ended up winning $40,000 for his efforts, Parting took home the first $100,000 ever given away in SC2. Maybe Prime is not the greatest team now of days, but there players are still certainly Code A material with Myungsik still in Code S and Code A consistently. It's obvious State wasn't getting the help he needed over the past 6 months. He couldn't even make it in the GSL Code A qualifiers. This goes to show that it is not the players who are "fail", but perhaps the coaching and staff that needs improvement. It appears that Prime lacks practice as team, and it seems more like "every man for himself". The players probably don't practice together alot, share ideas and/or strategies, it would explain why Prime did so poorly in Proleague this year. I think it's pretty clear LeLfe was referring to 2014, in which State had just as much GSL success as any non-choya member of the team. | ||

On average it takes 2 years for Korean training to result in a break through. The fact state is still willing to continue training is an excellent sign! | ||

Yes, leaving when Prime gets salary for the 1st time in 4 years. Clever | ||
