About time! He was being held back by Prime for a long time. I hope he joins another KeSPA team or finds a good foreign home.

What is going to people that have him on their FPL?

People only leave Prime for two reasons: They're retiring or they got picked up by SK Telecom.

Honestly Prime really needs something to right for them. They are beyond a joke in their current form and really hurt the integrity of SPL as a whole. I'm not really sure what they can do in their current situation though

I just realized I have Creator on my FPL anti-team!

Fuck yes

Seriously though, this is bad news. There's no way Prime doesn't fold after this. They actually have no one and no hope now

Creator gave 5 years of his life to Prime, the last 2 of which he probably could have left at any time. No one can say he wasn't loyal.

Ok so Prime's not going to win another PL match...

Wonder if Creator has the ambition to join another KeSPA team, a foreign team or just retiring. Could he reach full potential with better teammates and coaches? He's still very young.

GL to him!

Why would you feel bad for Prime? They should have died a long time ago. To me, it feels like Gerrard really screwed it up.

prime active roster

b4

tangtang
keen

(this assumes that iG players arent in korea due to mers/other commitments)

kespa should just step in and say "if you can't find players to play for your team, we're going to just forfeit you every week"
having only 4 active players is just downright embarrassing.

Foreign teams make very little sense, as Creator hasn't been to a foreign LAN in absolutely ages so he'll have little pull there. SBENU or Khan are the only 2 teams I can see him going to really, unless something out of left field happens like Axiom stepping in. Honestly, I think it's going to be retirement :[

I think Creator might stay on FPL. It would be a huge mess since I think a lot of people have him on their anti-teams.

I'm happy for him because a new team will do him a lot of good but damn, RIP Prime. You lived far longer than anyone could have expected.

I doubt he's going to retire, he's even been streaming a bit lately

EDIT: I hope he joins Maru on Jin Air

I just hope the move will energize him. He used to be a top of the top level player, he was still getting a couple wins in PL, and you could still see the passion in him, win or lose.

As for Prime...I think the team's time has finally come. They've already outlived just about all of their original eSF comrades, but by now they should just accept that there's really no hope for any meaningful improvement. Any even halfway decent players have left, they don't appear to have money for buying established players, and their rookies never amount to anything...


That's the sad part, their rookies DO amount to something, and then get taken up by better (richer) teams

I translated as best as I could. I think it's decent:

https://twitter.com/kenzi131/status/622999506225889281

[image loading]


Creator has left Prime.

According to Coach Gerrard, Creator left the team after the end of Round 3. Creator was with Prime since the launch of StarCraft 2, but is now moving to be independent.

Creator's last year was his worst ever in terms of individual league results, but was often able to save his team in critical moments as Prime's "ace" in Proleague. Even so, Prime was completely defeated in Round 3, and appears to be in a big slump.

Gerrard said "Creator has stagnated in his results and wants to go move beyond that, so he decided to leave. I wish him the best in the future".

Prime's current roster for Round 4 includes four players, plus the Chinese players from Invictus Gaming- JIM, Macsed, and XY. However, due to the MERS virus, they've returned to China but are planning to come back to Korea around August.

Do you understand, Prime?

You have no savior.

No more hope.

No - More - Creator.


But wow... It really does suck that Prime is in this position....

I will definitely miss the moments when Creator was so happy to win the ace matches

Do you know why they deliberately say roster for round 4 instead of full roster or is that just the rough translation? I mean in regards to Byun not being listed on their proleague roster but apparently "still on the team" or left with literally zero announcement to anyone anywhere

Every round a team has to submit players that are going to be in their roster by a certain date before each round begins. If ByuN is still on the team but won't be able to play for one reason or another, they won't put him on their round four roster. He can still be on their team without playing, though.

It's inconvenient to change his value and force everyone who already signed up to change their teams. Plus it would be really hard to do. So 99% Creator stays as is and everyone gets a freebie.

Well, even the ones that got snapped up by other teams (ex. Zoun, DeParture, Salvation) have yet to show anything particularly noteworthy, though at least they are definitely not as bad as the rookies that stayed (Terror, Tangtang). Even Myungsik kinda started sucking once he got on SBENU, which makes me wonder if his Prime results were just luck...

I suppose the question from here on out will be if Creator can have a better post-Prime career than Marineking, who after all did get second in Hot6ix Cup, but nowadays has a Solar-esque SPL record...

It is hard to watch someone or something die slowly, every temporary improvement in their condition sets you up for more crushing despair later.

Still there must always be eight so it will be interesting to see what new life eventually comes to proleague.

Well I will definitely be tuning into tonight's game versus Team 1. I hope Wolf is casting, SC2 historian that he is.

Edit: I guess I should change my flag from ACE to Jin Air soon.

Might have a higher win rate than Prime if they let TL field Snute for every match.

This is getting genuinely sad. The last months we saw Prime getting dismembered one member at a time, with helpless tries at compensating the losses. I think at this point it would be better to just end the team.

Bye bye Prime and Proleague. Proleague is already so stale with 8 teams, and will be gone with 7. Kespa really should have given ESF more support when they left GSTL to join Proleague. Instead they just showed favoritism to Kespa teams, allowing them to freely pick the rosters of ESF teams clean while ESF teams struggled to put food on the table. It was ridiculous for them to let SKT take Zoun or KT to take Life freely (and all the other cases). Some kind of protection is needed for the poor ESF teams.

We've seen with Jin-Air that money can make a team work, and ESF teams never got any money or support that they were promised when they're giving their all to keep Proleague alive. All ESF teams get are penalties and restrictions that prevent their players from playing.

Business Tip: To the teams that potentially will replace Prime, ask for A LOT of money. They need you way more than you need them in order to keep Proleague alive. And ask for the money up front. You can never trust the way Kespa does business.

All in all, good luck Creator. I hope you find a nice foreign team to give you support and opportunities.

Did...my anti just get a lot better?

I guess this is the end for Prime pretty much . Maybe Axiom+deadpixels combo can fill their place or something.

It's a wonderful irony that Prime today plays SKT from all of the times. Also not sure what is more dead, Prime or passion, as there is not even a LR of that to laugh at their cruel destiny.

I never really got the creator buzz myself - he has been on my anti's forever and I've never really regretted it except one season. I get that he had a brief flare in 2012 but it was mostly just weekend foreign tournaments; there were plenty of players who looked way better doing those including Polt; MC; Taeja; ForGG; Life... he never stood out to me as anything much more than a 'good' player, possibly peaking in the top 10 at one point.

Axiom has connections with teams that aren't as bad Prime, if Axiom enter SPL I'd expect AxiomDPix, TRUE and Patience live in the Axiom house currently so it'd make sense. Depends if DPix want to go into SPL.

Yea but I would think that kespa want's to "save" prime with a collaboration instead of just replacing them with one.
But you're right about Dpix and Axiom, so maybe Axiom-Dpix-Prime then

Heart just isn't performing at the moment, while I can't even remember the last time I saw Alicia in something important.

Yeah, the real issue is that most teams have big and deep rosters already. What we need is not more teams of the level of Prime, what we need is Bo7 PL.

Tbh Ryung's TvZ and TvT are still pretty damn solid from what I've seen of him this year, but his TvP really gives him a lot of trouble.

You guys don't understand that sometimes staying on a team cause you love it is more important than making money... that is why Creator maybe didn't left before. Would be nice, if some of these "eSport-journalists" would finally do an interesting interview and does it with Creator!

I'm pretty sure with enough motivation and the proper coaching Axiom could rise again. Right now without a regular team league they seem to be suffering, but when they had GSTL they where really good. However they indeed do need a partner, and someone that is serious and actually willing to commit players for long periods of time to Korea. And yeah foreigners do not fit the bill at all.

Liquid`Creator, pls... This kid was one of the best WoL players out there, he's fallen off the map since then... I really hope he goes to a team with a solid proleague line-up or just a team with adequate facilities and experiences in developing premier league players. (not saying prime isn't one of them, but after so many years watching Creator's experience in SC2 i can't possibly be the only one that think Creator might not suit the Prime house/environment)

I'd like to see Samsung/SBENU pick him up, maybe they'd be able to foster his talent in a better environment and it'd help knock either of them up a notch.

RIP Prime, tho.

Creator was as faithful as possible and stuck around Prime during their lowest times but finally saw it fit to leave and move on. Hopefully he gets picked up by a team that realizes the talent that's still inside of him and pays him accordingly and gives him the proper practice regime and partners needed. Creator can be/was a monster when he was in form so when LotV comes out, who knows...? Maybe it'll be the return of Creator

I feel so bad for YoDa though. He did so well when he was with IM and TCM. Suddenly, he dropped off when he joined Prime. Hopefully, if this does mean that this is the end of Prime, YoDa finds a KeSPA team where he'll re-find his form and show his dominance as a Terran.

well shit, prime just keep on bleeding players left and right. Shame that one of the last two remaining former esf is slowly dieing. Probably good for Creator to leave prime to have fresh start and a new gaming environment to rejuvenate his once promising career. I expect him to join one of the establish pl teams, if he is planning to join a foreign team, than good luck.

I feel so bad for YoDa though. He did so well when he was with IM and TCM. Suddenly, he dropped off when he joined Prime. Hopefully, if this does mean that this is the end of Prime, YoDa finds a KeSPA team where he'll re-find his form and show his dominance as a Terran.


I think YoDa is a prime (no pun intended) example that something is horribly wrong with Prime as a team. He joined, did well for a while, even making it to the RO16 of the GSL and then his form just disappeared. Myungsik went through a similar phase when he was on Prime, he was starting to get solid results for KT, then he left, joined Prime and his form dropped off monumentally until he joined SBENU where his results have started to peak back up again.

As sad as it is to see Prime in such a state, this is good move for Creator, it's less pressure on him to win and I can see him finding some form if he joins a team that can provide a good environment, maybe somewhere like SBENU, Samsung or even CJ (although Trust seems to be improving for CJ) who could do with a solid back-up Protoss.

I agree with Prime having some hidden demon that steals the skills and ability of players when ever they join and they have made a name for themselves.

With Creator, however, I think it puts more pressure on him: he left the team he's been on since his start and shown some of the best Protoss ever. Now, if he does join a foreign or KeSPA team, eyes will be on him to see if it really was the environment of Prime, which it most likely was, or if he really has lost his touch and should retire. The next however many days or weeks or months it takes for Creator to find a new team will dictate a lot, from my perspective. Creator isn't getting any younger and the field of Protosses right now is extremely strong (Classic, Rain, Stats, Zest, PartinG, etc.) so he has to prove that he has what it makes to be back on top.

They had him play an ace match in Shoutcraft recently, he's probably pretty good. <.<

I think they have to play TANGTANG 4th a lot so he doesn't get poached as fast as Zoun was.

Hope Creator finds a good team, whether it's a Korean team or a foreign one.

I hope KeSPA uses the "integrity of the league" style ruling that Riot always uses and allows Prime to sign new players/let byun play. Having a 4 man roster but sticking to the rules is bad for the whole league

Wow this is pretty crazy because for a long time he has been THE face of prime. I know he can become a force to be reckoned with in the right environment for him. Good luck Creator, hope we hear more from him soon.

I very nearly choked and died on my tea when I read this, BD. Well played

OP: I wish you well in your search for a team, if that is what you are doing, Creator. You hung in there, took some serious beatings, shed blood, sweat and manly tears, and did the best you could do. No one can do any more than that. Unless they are Maru.

Choya was on Prime though. He jumped ship with MKP and Salvation and joined up the "new" MVP team.

Prime should just throw together the old oGs, TSL, IM, and SlayerS teams and make one, big, messy run in SPL

You mean he created the one true path After all. There is no jumping ship. There is only Choya.

Its not even "doing" proleague. He has been listed on Primes roster once

Never played and has been promptly reremoved from the roster. But never officially released from the team

Kespa need to let Prime partner with someone, having a team that loses 0-3 every week and has no money (which leads to some of their players likely throwing matches out of necessity for money) or players (they can't even maintain a full roster) is a joke. Prime will go 0-7 this round and could easily go 0-21 in maps, i'd expect something like 2-21 on average. That's unacceptable in a supposedly legitimate league.

Some combination of mYi/DP/Axiom would be a more legitimate alternative, at the very least PL should let/encourage Prime to partner with at least one of these teams to make their proleague matches watchable.

You would need teams who are willing to cooperate with KeSPA rules to make partnerships. Besides, Prime isn't exactly the most compelling team to team up with, especially after their best player has left and their 2nd best player (YoDa) is basically nonexistent. That would mean whichever team, teams up with Prime would need a semi deep roster to carry Prime. I don't see it happening, especially since Prime is the punching bag of KeSPA teams.

SC2 probably isn't popular enough for this to happen but KeSPA should just take over Prime and re-make 8th Team. I'm sure there are various players out there they can recruit to at least make it respectable (though MVP and SBENU have scooped up most of the teamless eSF veterans).

The Korean government should just issue a "Prime Law" that forces every Korean company making more than a given amount of $ per year to pay a very small percentage of their income to Prime. A Prime Tax, essentially. That way we would have Prime "sponsored" by Samsung, Kia, Hyundai, Korean Air, MBC, Hankook, LG, etc

Haha a prime tax, brilliant. As crazy as this sounds PL is more interesting the more teams that are involved. It's possible in the future that 1-2 teams buy up all the good players. You could argue it's already happened.

Maybe if proleague enforced a salary cap and each team was allowed to reach that cap, we'd have something a little more even.
