Symbol had to play 3 matchfixers in Code S once. It's a match made in heaven. | ||

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? | ||

Also, couldn't they pay skt to allow them to recruit parting and lift his moronic ban? Of course they would have to pay his current team too. | ||

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.

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." | ||

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.

It would be nice if they'd get compensation from KT for this, even though it's not their fault (and they didn't know) Edit: But gratz to Afreeca and Symbol ofc | ||

Is it possible they got tipped off about the investigation and tried to get rid of Life quickly? Speculating of course but that's a very interesting theory considering they also offloaded a certain Protoss in December 2015 who was involved in one of the Pinnacle cancelled games as well and no other players on their roster have ever had any suspicion of anything. Back on topic, i've always been a big Symbol fan and hoped he would find success on Jin Air, hopefully he can recapture some form on Afreeca | ||
