On one hand I'm happy for Losira since MVP --> KT is essentially moving up in the world but knowing KT he'll become a PL practice mule and won't be fielded plus his individual results will dip as a result. I will hold out hope that he'll do well for KT though ^^ Also congrats on finding a nice landing spot Trust  | ||

Ignore the "new" part about Forte. it's Salvation he just changed his ID https://twitter.com/proxywolf/status/671969587429158912 They still have MarineKing. Just a little bit of work on minimap awareness ... | ||

But maybe if we're lucky, we can see Losira get fielded every now and then for Proleague. | ||

Trust will probably be stuck sadly in the same position as Speed, Believe, and Penguin, another practice partner. But maybe if we're lucky, we can see Losira get fielded every now and then for Proleague. Well Believe has never even been seen with the team and according to Silvana PenguiN actually left the team (he wasn't at Flash's goodbye dinner either). I really hope the coaches decide to mix up the lineup more this year though. | ||

I believe he was in KT, then went to SKT, then back to KT. | ||

 I think he and Life can work pretty well in the same team. Hoping for them to produce crazy builds and games. And Trust is a nice addition too. Now that Zest is the Ace I guess we needed another PvP sniper. I'm really liking this. Happy! OP: PenguiN is not on the team anymore I'm 99% sure. And Believe I assumed too I didn't even bother to ask... anyone knows for sure? | ||

More likely though is a rotating fourth of TY, Trust, Losira, and Jjakji with TY still getting the lion's share of starts | ||

As long as PL is a Bo5 then CJ shouldn't really mind losing some players haha. If they can field herO, Bbyong, Byul, and literally any player on the planet as their fourth they will still do pretty well tbh plus Hush is a pretty good PvP sniper and I've always thought Ragnarok had some potential. CJ should be just fine | ||

Life or TY I could see being rotated, especially if they have important individual league matches upcoming | ||

So I could imagine that he rotates one of them out every now and then if the other players have the right level. | ||

Those last two games were filled by TY with Zest and Flash playing in every match. So it wasn't so much that he started "rotating" those three as much as he gave TY a few charity games but for the most part played his four best players, which I think he will continue to do. Losira and Trust will get some charity games but the lineup should still be Life/Zest/Stats/TY Unless someone gets super good at LotV and gets to a level they haven't been to before | ||

He's going to have a really hard time competing for a starting spot with the likes of Zest and Stats, not to mention there's Believe as well. Believe doesn't live in the KT teamhouse and has not been seen or heard of (in terms of SC2) since 2014.

So for Proleague, he certainly is a heavy hitter. (and let's be honest - it's unlikely that any really big name leaves their team and joins another Proleague team, they're probably getting paid very well as is) | ||

No need to be salty, but Flash wasn't really that strong in proleague 2015. Below 50% winrate. I wouldn't consider that performance to be worthy of the title "big-hitter" The years before that aren't really important for this comment imo. | ||

But one thing I wanna say is, I don't like looking at the year-end winrates, I prefer the winrates per round, imo that's more informative than saying "X% winrate" as an average over 10 months of play. E.g. Zest went 6-5 in round 1 with some pretty bad losses. In round 4 he went 7-0 and was the most dominant player in Proleague. There's a pretty clear development there that his year-end winrate doesn't do justice. | ||
