With Soulkey moving on (with his salary off the books no doubt), perhaps a combination of better contract terms + maybe worse than expected offers from the foreign scene, is a rethink that impossible?
Maybe, but it depends Rain and PartinG may have already signed contracts with other teams it just can't be announced until their contracts end with SKT.

Hasn't it been confirmed that PartinG's received a couple of offers already?

Dream/Dark could become a good rotation as 4th player. And yeah I hope he just needs to clear his head a bit and will come back stronger
I don't really see Dream as any better than Bravo though and he never got used.
How dare you compare dreams sexy play to HONSIN...

Considering their star driven team only won 2 games and was defeated in a resounding manner, it's not like they are breaking up an unstoppable juggernaut. Their lack of a viable Terran option(s) was painfully exposed. As was the power of KT's cohesive, albeit less talented roster.
SKT still has a great lineup even with the huge losses of Rain and PartinG, and I'd be surprised if they aren't in the mix with Jin Air and KT for best Proleague team next season. Soulkey despite his recent inconsistency is still a top level zerg, and his departure would really hurt their depth.
In a BO5; INnoVation, soO, Classic, and some combo of Dark/Dream is still quite lethal. Maybe they will give ParalyzE more playing time (who hasn't impressed me), but it seems they may be in the market for another top Protoss. Especially if Classic continues to disappoint. If Soulkey does end up returning that obviously creates a much deeper overall roster, but if not another backup Zerg as insurance would be smart.
SKT would be wise to use the regular season to practice and prepare their 5th, 6th, and 7th options for the deeper playoff format which they should easily qualify for barring utter unforeseen disaster.

Happy as fuck !!!!!!
