ST really needs to kneel to SKT to release Parting from kespa jail.

Looks like KT finally decided to get a top tier Zerg player too. This must also be one of the biggest transfer ever in SC2? Either way this is pretty awesome!

You all speak as if we know 100% that within the contract life worked out with KT he wants to be able to still travel and do some foreign tournaments here and there. That could very well be the case as I don't think life would be willing to give up all that foreign money when he is dominating right now in every scene including Korea.

Top3 transfer for sure
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

People think Startale pays better then KT?


It's pretty safe to assume that KT pays better than ST. At the same time, we've had a small exodus of upper tier SK/KT pros leaving for what seems to a more free lifestyle (judging by the interviews at least).

My question is, did Startale benefit from Life joining KT, and by that I mean get a huge payoff? Back when KeSPA teams were signing ESF players, there was no protection for the teams, but now that Startale is in KeSPA, do they benefit from the same protection that SKT did when Parting left?

Okay, now that I've collected mysel-- WHAT THE FUCK!

No, but really. Is this the end of Flash? He'll have to compete with TY, Zest, Stats, First and now Life for lineup space in SPL.

Zerg problems solved for KT.

Also sad that yet another long time pillar of a team is gone. Not much identity for teams anymore, too much shuffling :/

I imagine that besides IEM Katowice, KT will want Life to focus on Korea; he has the opportunity to win dual starleagues, and such a feat would immensely boost KT's prestige as well as public perception of their business acumen.

People forget that Korea has 9 premier tournaments this year as well, so foreign travel isn't as necessary as it was.

And just when I was becoming a huge fan of Life...

Startale isn't Startale without Life.

NO
Man this makes me really really sad. I mean it's great for Life I guess since he's probably making bank now. But Startale was just such an awesome team, I hate to see this happen when core members like Parting and Bomber were sort of returning.

wait, aren't players not allowed to do this during the proleague season? aren't kespa contracts generally structured to end in like November for this reason?

Wow. So even if Startale made it to their match, Life wouldn't have been sent out? Kenzi said he heard of this since IEM Taipei so it's been established for a while now.
