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? | ||

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 :/ | ||

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. 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.

Well KT have shown a willingness to send their players abroad and most kespa players are allowed to go to any event they qualify unless say an important gsl or pl match is on, then it just comes down to priorities. What I'm saying is with the korean scene looking healthy the necessity for these players to travel isn't there so they can comfortably stay in korea. Also I don't get where this he's now on KeSPA rip ever seeing him abroad again comes from. Kespa players have been to plenty of foreign events. | ||

KT wouldn't have signed Life if they knew he couldn't play in proleague. I'm sure there's some technicality that will allow him to play: perhaps because he signed his latest contract with StarTale before it was a KeSPA team and so the same rules don't apply. Also, Parting could play in proleague with the permission of SKT1. I'm doubt StarTale will be as dickish as SKT1 and hopefully they will allow to Life play in proleague even to the detriment to their own chances. | ||

In any case, PartinG can always be granted permission to play by SKT; it's just that they've chosen not to. Given that the fee from KT must have been massive to acquire Life, they'd probably have put in a bit in the contract about PL availability if necessary anyway | ||

Will always be a life fan, and will always cheer for KT in the battle of the telecoms, but I hope JinAir take down the two juggernauts this season. I wonder if KT will auto-play flash every week now... Stats is their best player at the moment despite lacking the big name, Zest and Life are ace-caliber players and when TY's wrists recover etc from whatever happened last week he's a better terran than flash on merit at the moment but I can't see KT not playing Flash even if he continues to lose every game like he's been doing. TY to Startale in an exchange would be cool? | ||

this is the kind of thing I love because it makes SC seem more like a legitimate sport. Teams coming in and poaching the big players. Did they have to pay a fee or was life just like "contract not real" and left? I am sure it is all private but I would be interested to hear how a move like this works behind the scenes. | ||

It's been answered several times in this thread guys, Parting can't play because he broke his contract with SKT and thus they "owe" him, while Life's contract just expired so he is ok to play for KT next round without them paying anything extra. | ||

As much as it sucks to see Life leave his trademark team, I think this might benefit everyone (except Startale). Not only he gets to practice against some of the top protoss, the KT house also gains hugely from this. Zest and Stats have the best zerg teammate to practice with, Flash will stop sucking at TvZ, TY will not lose against Dark again, Action and Miso (was it? I forgot the second zerg player) are going to learn so much from life. | ||

I'm interested to know their decision behind this both Life and KT. Is it purely money for Life and will his joining help him improve even more? KT I guess their decision make sense since they are missing a top zerg player, not saying that Action and Sleep are not good, but they are not soO level and Life is certainly on top along with soO there so. But the price must be quite a lot to get Life to join? But I guess that will help other KT players quite a lot too in practice sessions? | ||

Soulkey, Classic, and Parting additions played heavy into that. I would say the SKT is less merc now as Classic and Dark have been part of the team for two seasons now. Innovation is the only first season player who has a starting role. This is the first time in 3 season SKT has retained the same coaching staff from the end of last season. Therefore, I'd argue one that SKT in no form resembled last seasons team, but also has a roster that is now looking more home grown instead of imports. | ||

I don't know what are you referring to in terms of trash talk, seems to me like SKT were always more venomous and biased (lol disciple) and the worst you can say about KT fans is that some are Flash fan boys (bandwagoners???) and the "God" talk got annoying. But I don't think KT fans ever doubted FBB as being good players, they only ever said that KT could still beat them regardless and that it was great only BECAUSE SKT was a good team. If KT fans honestly thought SKT were just a bunch of scrubs why would we even celebrate beating them, truth is Fantasy had better micro than Flash, Bisu and Best could beat anyone on KT on a good day, and KT zergs only out perform SKT zergs in playoffs; YET we still beat SKT in finals. | ||

So yeah. Hyped. | ||

Point being, while the speculation about if Flash gets benched is premature, it's fascinating because whether it happens or not, it's meaningful on a level far beyond Bisu leaving SKT, Stork's fade-out, Jaedong's circuitous route, or anything else that could happen to any other player. Sure, Flash never lived up to the impossible expectations in SC2, but he's been pretty good for a pretty long time, and when you combine that with what he has done for KT as a progaming brand, there's just nothing else like it from the past ten years of BW / SC2. To see even a sliver of possibility of this changing really is something.... (*) technically Flash was taken from WeMade's practice squad, but this was early enough that he was pretty much KT from day one and never played in an official match for anyone but KT. | ||

How do you feel about your transfer to KT? It’s an honour to join one of the oldest and most prestigious teams in programing and winners of last year’s Starcaft 2 Proleague season. How long had you been discussing the transfer for? We’ve been discussing it for the past month and I moved into the team house yesterday. What’s the atmosphere like at the team house? Are there any players you’re already familiar with? The atmosphere seems good, and since I’m younger than everyone they were very welcoming. I’m familiar with Lee Young-ho (Flash) since everyone called us rivals, and I plan to gradually get to know the rest of the players too. KT won Proleague last season, but they were unable to reach the playoffs of Round 1 this time. Actually, I think of their bad results in Round 1 as an opportunity. I’m due to start playing for KT in Proleague from Round 2, and if their results start to improve after that would it not be seen as the effect of me joining them? I’ll work hard so that the team can win a second consecutive Proleague. KT is seen as having a weak Zerg lineup. I think that is only true up until Round 1. I will help not only my fellow Zerg players, but also the Terran and Protoss players to achieve impressive results. Do you think you can halt KT’s recent downward trend? I’m aware that other than Joo Sung-wook (Zest) KT haven’t been able to win any Starcraft 2 solo leagues in Korea, so I’ve made it my goal to become one more player to have won a solo league in the name of KT. It seems like you’ll no longer be able to participate in foreign competitions as freely as before. I need to accommodate for the Proleague schedule, but just like before my thirst for foreign competitions isn’t that big. There are now two solo-leagues in Korea, as well as competitions like the KeSPA Cup etc. which I can participate in, so it looks like as long as I get good results I can still earn WCS points. I know that the association gives you the chance to go play in foreign competitions if you’re chosen as Round MVP in Proleague, so I think I will try to aim for that. Is there anything else you’d like to say? I will try my hardest to be a player who lives up to the name of KT. | ||

It’s an honour to join one of the oldest and most prestigious teams in programing and winners of last year’s Starcaft 2 Proleague season. How long had you been discussing the transfer for? We’ve been discussing it for the past month and I moved into the team house yesterday. What’s the atmosphere like at the team house? Are there any players you’re already familiar with? The atmosphere seems good, and since I’m younger than everyone they were very welcoming. I’m familiar with Lee Young-ho (Flash) since everyone called us rivals, and I plan to gradually get to know the rest of the players too. KT won Proleague last season, but they were unable to reach the playoffs of Round 1 this time. Actually, I think of their bad results in Round 1 as an opportunity. I’m due to start playing for KT in Proleague from Round 2, and if their results start to improve after that would it not be seen as the effect of me joining them? I’ll work hard so that the team can win a second consecutive Proleague. KT is seen as having a weak Zerg lineup. I think that is only true up until Round 1. I will help not only my fellow Zerg players, but also the Terran and Protoss players to achieve impressive results. Do you think you can halt KT’s recent downward trend? I’m aware that other than Joo Sung-wook (Zest) KT haven’t been able to win any Starcraft 2 solo leagues in Korea, so I’ve made it my goal to become one more player to have won a solo league in the name of KT. It seems like you’ll no longer be able to participate in foreign competitions as freely as before. I need to accommodate for the Proleague schedule, but just like before my thirst for foreign competitions isn’t that big. There are now two solo-leagues in Korea, as well as competitions like the KeSPA Cup etc. which I can participate in, so it looks like as long as I get good results I can still earn WCS points. I know that the association gives you the chance to go play in foreign competitions if you’re chosen as Round MVP in Proleague, so I think I will try to aim for that. Is there anything else you’d like to say? I will try my hardest to be a player who lives up to the name of KT. Thanks for the translation! | ||

To be fair, Team 8 deserved some payback for their struggles :p And they got only 2 players, that's not a lot. KT/SKT of course are biggest spenders historically, there is nothing bad in it.

Considering that we have only 2 big foreign circuits in IEM and Dreamhack with first being open for any Korean player and even second isn't out of question, Life is going to attend probably almost any big event anyway. | ||

I thought proleague players had a 4 years contract minimum with their team ? Since it's startale first year in proleague, doesn't this apply ? Also, I didn't know it was possible to switch team during a season ? I don't really see how startale can not be 7th/8th now too... | ||

Important to note in this interview is that Life seems very humbled by the opportunity to join KT. He wasn't the biggest team player on ST, but he seems much more interested in contributing to the team effort on KT. Naturally in part because KT are very focused on Proleague, but from what I can tell he seems genuinely happy to have been given the opportunity to play for a Proleague-winning team. | ||

I must admit I never saw him as a player dedicated to his team, and I even thought he eventually would go the solo route a la Bomber. Glad to know I was wrong! ^.^ | ||

While he did show signs of slowing down, the transfer to KT seemed to have given him a boost in motivation, so I don't think his results will dip soon. | ||

It's not like Stats, Zest, TY or Flash struggled against Zerg throughout their careers, excluding recent Flash form. There is just simply no reason to think that addition of Life will make KT Rolster undeniably #1, it just doesn't work like that.

This isn't really true. EPL, the most popular league in the world has all the talent stacked into the top couple of clubs. NCAA Football and Basketball both have a couple a programs that are consistently stacked with the top talent. The NBA is notoriously top-heavy. And the MLB is at its most popular only when the Yankees are "stacked". Now you might come back at me and argue that popular does not equal good, but I still think there is enough evidence out there that having a league where a couple of teams are "stacked" helps to develop rivalries, dynasties, and underdogs. The three ingredients for a great league. For the record I think Proleague qualifies. KT/SKT is a fantastic rivalry that just got a little bit better today. That makes the league better, right? | ||

I do not think this automatically translates to better results for KT though, Life has always been a bit hit or miss, before this season he has always underperformed in SPL. What makes everyone think that he is going to keep being a beast, Life has always felt like a person that flowers with some freedom. Maybe KTs establishment isn't going to work for him at all. we don't know. Secretly (and a bit openly) I'm hoping Life falls off after this. He was my captain for this round and helped me get the best FPL placement I have ever had but what the heck why KT =/ | ||

It's part of the reason he slumped - the coaching staff didn't really tell him to shape the fuck up until way later than they should have - but also part of the reason he usually does so well. It's his own recipe, one that has worked (for the most part) for 2.5 years, and KT recognize that they'd be fools to change a winning recipe too much. Naturally, I think we'll see some priority changes - maybe fewer overseas tournaments, maybe more serious qualifier participation - as a result of his joining KT, but I don't think they'll be enormous. I only caught Life for like 4 sentences after the contract was signed, but he seems really giddy, so I think he got a great deal | ||

Way more than those things make a good league. Personally I don't give a shit about dynasties or rivalries when it comes to Starcraft. I'm simply in it to see good games and to be honest when it comes down to it proleague is quite good right now EXACTLY BECAUSE 50% of the teams are serious contenders. Your last sentence doesn't really go against what I'm saying. The person I quoted said they wished Life joined SKT to which I have to reiterate the pretty blatant observation that that move would make the league worse. In no way does SKT need Life...but KT needs some help dearly and a Zerg is perfect. Hence why further stacking of an insanely stacked team isn't good. | ||

Perhaps he's had enough of being in the spotlight outside of KR. Maybe he feels like he's achieved everything possible outside of KR, and now wants to officially test his mettle against the best. I mean it is human nature to never satisfy with what you've got and seek more. Eitherway I wish him the best of luck, and is actually looking excitedly forward to see him in action! Edit Im not trying to undermine GSL here, im just pointing out that he might want to compete with the top players (again). | ||

He has a fair chance of getting one in a few weeks though, and a lot of that is before joining KT. | ||

Yeah there were some lesser players there but it was a stacked field nonetheless. | ||

Not many Zergs were able to win a GSL in HotS, after Soulkey won the first one with all-ins. | ||

Why would you not root for KT I just kind of decided to start rooting for KT instead of usual SKT. SKT threw all their chances with Soulkey / Rain / Parting leaving. KT only looks beter and beter esp with Life on board now! | ||
