I don't understand why some of you guys like Prime so much
I get that they're introducing some players into the progaming life, but they can't even pay them a minimal salary. If, after all this time, Prime still hasn't been able to secure themselves as an organization that's worth playing (and paying) for, then the players have every reason to leave that team.
but #passion I guess
We like the underdogs.
Prime have been around since the very beginning, always surviving without a major sponsor. They've stayed as SC2 declines, they've seen much bigger and more important and successful teams die, like Slayers, IM, TSL, STX Soul, etc.
And other, richer teams take away their players as soon as they show promise. And yet Prime continues to fight, as hopelessly as a small child tries to kick the waves at the beach. One can't help but cheer for the child.

Prime, two steps forward, one step back. New team motto.

Prime is actually paying salary since they got sponsored by KTC.
And the reason I cheer for Prime is because I always did. They used to be the best team in the world.
I'll stick with them at the highest highs. But also at the lowest of lows. That's when they need it the most

Wtf? Kespa has an anti-poaching rule that is agressively enforced by SKT against Parting, but SKT is itself free to poach into oblivion !? That rule was already dubious at best and now this. That's so unnerving...

If I'm not mistaken the rule applies when you break your contract (Parting's case) but not when it expires (Life's and -prolly- Zoun's case).

Expiration in the middle of Proleague year? But yeah I'm probably missing something. Though I doubt Parting contract would still be running. Meanwhile, Apple, Google & co are facing hundreds of millions of liability in California for no-poaching agreements.

Well I fully support big companies monopolizing the SC2 scene. It's better than some little team trying to fight for nothing. The big teams have resources that little teams don't. I don't get people who support small teams. It's like support those small mom and pop shops. It contributes nothing to anything in the long run. Yes, you are helping out a few people, but it's nothing sustainable. Do you think they will even remember you when they hit it big? You'll get treated as another ATM machine to them.
It's much better to let big companies stomp out or buy out the little companies. The little companies have so few resources that it does not even put up competition for the big companies to bother putting money towards R&D to innovate.
