Wait, really? I don't follow LoL news much, but didn't Samsung win LCS?
Their teams were top-1 and top-2 teams in Korea, and one of them won World Championship. Now all 10 members are gone.
Was there a reason behind this?
Well, I'm not sure, but as far as Korean LoL goes Samsung wasn't the only one that suffered, almost every KeSPA(Korean) LoL team lost atleast 3 of their members. From what I've heard, lot of players want to move to Chinese scene.

You need to spend an hour watching his games before making such absurd and ignorant statements.
Now when it doesn't matter anymore you become a fan?
I despise(d) Roro for winning the GSL that I always felt Life should have won and I didn't always particularly enjoy his games, but I'd never gloat over a player retiring (most likely because he doesn't feel there's enough opportunity for him anymore) or call a GSL champion "anti skill" or "abusive" in an attempt to discredit his achievements. There's a line of basic respect here.

RorO was a very good player. Accusing him of abusing winfestor deathballs in WoL is meaningless--every Zerg did. Even Life who did it probably less than everyone else doesn't beat Mvp in the finals without it. And yes, he eventually became one of the few heavy swarm host users in Korea, but he didn't need them to play at top levels. In honor of his retirement, here's my favorite RorO game--against PartinG on Whirlwind in the WCS Korea 2013 Season 1 Placement Matches, which is probably on my shortlist of best PvZs of all time (and not a swarm host or brood lord in sight):

It feels like Life should win every GSL. But getting beaten out by his rival PartinG was also a fitting story I guess?
Reality and Turn (Turn especially) have another thing coming if they're looking for foreign teams unfortunately. They don't have the marketability of Rain or Fantasy and neither of them have been successful in finding a new home yet.
