I'm glad Afreeca got a replacement after getting screwed over by Life, but I really wish CJ Entus got some new blood to replace their dwindling roster.

Well, they did sign Life, and we all know how well that worked out.

Incidentally that transfer was really timely for KT. Is it possible they got tipped off about the investigation and tried to get rid of Life quickly?

This thread has nothing to do with Life. This thread is about Symbol. Let's not start a derail

I hope this is not too off-topic, but how do teams nowadays get new players ? I always see the same name reappearing or transfers happening.
Is there still something like the courage tournament to get a pro licence as it was in BW ?

Symbol was my fav players back in WoL not only because of his incredible team spirit (see old TSL runs in GSTL) but also for his incredible innovative play he showed in Ironsquid1 (victories against MKP, Nestea and MVP iirc)

I always felt sad he couldn't end up at the top.

He still can be an extremely good sniper IMHO, if he gets is confidence back.

totally of topic but + Show Spoiler +
according to both KT and Afreeca, this trade was made after Life himself asked for it and both team were very surprised. Source : somewhere in the "life arrested for match fixing" thread, about 2 months ago

Don't forget how Symbol hated Prime back in the days, always trying to set up team kills in GSL groups whenever he could.

It isnt just me that thinks KT knew about this and said to Afreeca "Please let us get away with this bad publicity and we´ll compensate you."

They're signing players they see potential in and hoping they break out into a super star. All of the top players are locked into contracts.

More so they are signing players who have already broken out. And if that's the case, no one has done that better then Stork.

Exhibit A!

So this means Symbol's career will continue. That's good to hear.

Maybe Symbol can make a come back and break back into the scene.

I'm sure he can make something happen.

I, for one, would be very happy to see Symbol return to his peak. Hopefully Afreeca is the place for doing so.

Rofl so Life decided that fucking over Afreeca was more worth being busted while on KT? No, put your tinfoil hats away. He would have just simply left the team. He was still planning on playing his Code A match at the time he was arrested.

Hope to see some good games from Symbol in proleague.

good news for Symbol but I doubt he has the potential to make Afreeca Freecs take it to the next level.
