that's sad. why didn't afreeca pick off someone from JAGW, SKT or CJ? y u heff 2 ruin my KT

on the other hand, it's not like KT's gonna miss him in proleague, but that's 1 less potential gsl champion.

edit: they could've specially requested someone from SKT cause their roster is insanely stacked.
why do you not believe it? the legend has alived!

I think the player has also something to say in this regard. And Life seemed to like the option to return to Starfreeca Tareecs and being the best player there. While Leenock finally found a Team, that will give him solid practice against Terran and Protoss but also will field him as a Zerg player.

2 days till media day! Raise your arms and give Kespa your power to announce Bo7 Group stage, Bo9 Playoffs, the super secret mega 8th team not even Kenzi know about and free 1080p stream on Afreeca.

well yeah, I understand player has a say in it. I also understand that team has even mroe of a say. they could've told him to gtfo with request :D but yeah, life's absence won't make a change in proleague as he was never any good in team leagues anyway. it's just that I won't be able to cheer for him in individual leagues.

also, free 720p ain't bad as well.

I wonder about that. KT and Afreeca/SBENU made 2 player trades this off-season. I rarely ever see teams trade players tbh. The teams must be close

yeah, same. well i just really hate kt seeing lose high profile players and bring in players who most likely won't make an impact in proleague and definitely won't make an impact in individual leagues.

Leenock used to be amazing in both team and individual leagues, he just has to get back in form. And especially in Proleague, last year he did more for SBENU than Life for KT

dno, while he used to be amazing, i think the last season was just a one off flash of old self. hope i'm wrong tho.

I don't think its as significant as people are making it out to be. Life has never been more than a slightly above average team league player. Leenock gets around the same results in team leagues save from when he was on Prime.

It's just the "But it's Life GOAT Zerg player!!!!1" effect I think. Yeah Life is probably more likely to win a tournament this year than Leenock, but KT doesn't really lose fighting power in Proleague.

I wonder how close StarTale and KT is, it says that KT was the first team that Legend approached, and they did 2 player trades already.... hm, I would freak out if suddenly Afreeca receive a player from SKT tmr.

WHOAA, best SC2 related news in the last 12-14months. So cool. I really didnt like Life`s play after he joined KT. He got a lot worse and KT seemed to have something against his heavy upgraded Ling style. Hope he gets his form back and kicks ass. And since SoS took his #1 from him at Blizzcon, he has something to say about that i hope :D.

This had to have been one of the prerequisites to Afreeca buying out SBENU. I know Life isn't the best Team League player but I'm guessing Afreeca went to KeSPA and said "No Marquee Player, No Deal"
