Uh... I thought for sure that when TCM let go of Yoda and First, they were gonna pick up foreigner talent...but I guess it's nice to see SK finally get picked up

Woah what, this is a surprise. How will Soulkey compete in WCS Europe? Will he apply for a visa?

He will play in GSL.
Statement just says that TCM ain't focused on EU scene anymore and focused on global scene.

I hope he pulls an Innovation and eventually returns to Kespa, where he belongs. After getting that 'I want to go to foreign tournaments' bug out of his system.

wow, um...I don't understand why they would have kicked Yoda / first then, I guess only because they can't afford soulkey AND first + yoda...SoulKey is the best out of the 3, but still....kinda shocking...

Not as surprised as I should be though, so many random pick ups recently. :-p

So TCM thinking they are trading up in talent per salary I guess. Sucks that basically 1/3 of the last Proleague finalists are gone from Proleague this season.

fruity.

This is intriguing more than anything. TCM just got rid of Yoda and First because of the new region lock, now they sign Soulkey? I'm not entirely sure what the difference in circumstance is here.

Weird huh, maybe yoda and first wanted to return to Korea.

Soulkey hasn't been getting great results of late, individually. Always feel weird saying something like that, he's still a great player.

edit: Hence him wanting to move to Europe then.

I think it's a fair trade for all parties.

YoDa and First get better and more stable salaries with Proleague team. Now that they can not win tournaments anymore, why care about oversea exposure.

Soulkey gets his chance now. Glad that he does not return to BW T.T

All is right in the world if tomorrow Prime announces First.
