I mean, Life isn't great in team leagues, but wtf.

I guess KT got pressured into doing it by KeSPA to make Proleague more competitive. At least that's an explanation I can live with

I personally don't like that change because i like Life and KT haha
But sure, for KT it might not have a negative impact on spl, i can see that.

yes i know i was showing the weak part of the team" , still even with a fresh game to xploit , and peak of thoseyou mention , those players arent capable of going far in proleague.. just beign honest . we know they can beat top players and sometimes make deep runs every 2 or 3 years.. but thats not enough to be competitive in proleague

As far as I know, the level of practice partners don't matter. I remember all of the best BW players like Flash and Jaedong had super mediocre practice parnters.

Well I don't know if Flash and Jaedong being Flash and Jaedong proves that mediocre practice partners are literally equal to great practice partners...

I remember Bisu saying that he played against some random zerg and lost and then found out it was JD, so i guess they also played online (fish server maybe?)

Really surprised but then it makes sense when you think about it.

Afreecs look quite good now. Alive looks promising so far, Keen did quite ok (as always), Life can be a beast if he wants to (he was valuable in proleague for startale before) and curious got significantly better last year. Even Billowy and Super are solid (resultwise at least ^^) and they have two of the very few real rookies on their team.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

I agree with pretty much everybody... what?

Perhaps Life didn't like the KT environment, but seems like KT's roster isn't strong enough to simply hand over an ace caliber player.
the absence of evidence, is not the evidence of absence.

I guess joining KT was just a vacation for Life.

And if Life was transferred at Afreeca's request, I say why? Life's never been that great at Proleague anyway, they'd have been better off taking an ace from SKT instead of Life.

Life really started to underperform in individual leagues once he joined KT, so it was likely he wasn't a fan of their practice environment. I just hope he doesn't end up like PartinG and gets blocked from playing in Proleague. Not too familiar with KeSPA's weird transfer rules.

makes sense, honestly. Leenock has always been a good team league player. presumably he can fit in with KT. meanwhile afreeca gets the star to put in front of their brand, and take the gamble that Life can be in team leagues what he is in individual leagues.
