DRG's statement:

First of all, I would like to thanks Invasion esport and Sebou (Korean manager of Invasion eSport team) for taking good care of me and their understanding. I sincerely wish them all the best for the future. This is a hard decision for me to take in the middle of a contract, and to be clear, it has nothing to do with the management of Invasion eSport.

Recently, my gaming style went down as my motivation to train on Starcraft II. I joined Invasion eSport to force myself to participate to foreign tournaments. Unfortunately, the number of those tournaments and my performances are lower than my expectations. My motivation to train is driven by my tournaments participations. I prepare them with a lot of work and a high motivation.

Today I think the best solution for me is to play the proleague in a high level structure to get back the level I had and only the Kespa can provide this. Invasion eSport don’t have the budget and they are already tied to one Kespa team. So the only solution that i could find is to leave this team and go back in Kespa to play proleague again. I know this is a sudden change of mind and I would like to apologize for it.

I thanks all my fans and Invasion eSport for their understanding. I hope to see you all again soon in proleague and in future tournaments.



Invasion eSport's statement:

How sad is that?

We are of course disappointed by this “good bye” from DongRaeGu. We were proud to have him in our ranks and to provide him the best we could.

But at Invasion eSport we are focused on one thing: having a lot of fun! We achieve that by supporting players like DRG at the best we can. Today, since we’re unable to participate in Proleague, the best we can do for him is to encourage him to follow his instinct and join the KeSPA. We understand his choice and of course we will let him go without any problem. He’s gone of our team, but he’s still on the Starcraft II scene and we will keep cheering for him. He is a great player and we wish him a big success on his new structure.

I'm guessing Super leaves too. As far as I know they live together, so they probably made this decision together

He's doing well in individual leagues, don't think he needs PL.

Now then, which team will pick up DRG?

I'm fairly sure a KeSPA team will pick him up, he's still good enough that most teams would want him. Especially the weaker ones.

The people leaving Invasion are ones who are looking for Kespa, going the Innovation route.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

I wonder if this was a good decision. Most - if not all - kespa teams are already "full" and if I remember correctly he has been without a team for quite some time before IE picked him up.

The drama continues!
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.
