Do we know why he left though?

He wanted to be more like his idol


Not even so far off, I think. Innovation simply doesn't need a team to back him up, he gets his consistent share of prize money out of the Korean tournament scene and some other online events, so he doesn't even need to travel and all that sweet $$$ goes right and 100% into his pocket.

I guess Byun just felt he doesn't need a team environment anymore and can do pretty much the same


But Innovation is on Ballistix, unless that changed since Blizzcon?

The Ballistix sponsorship is only applied during BlizzCon time. After that, it is over. Innovation remains teamless which probably what he prefers.

Yeah, I bet some bucks he will take a break. I think he is never as good as when nobody is waiting for him.
Maybe the actual balance is for something ?

does this mean teams get a cut of the players prize money?
i wish there was more clarity/transparency for the fans on how player contracts really work.
how can young players who aspire going pro one day plan and pan out their dreams if they have no idea of what they are walking into
I watch more starcraft than i play it

KeSPA teams do/did take a portion of players' prize money, and according to Inno, almost all the foreign teams do as well. He said they take ~15% (and that for him personally the math didn't add up). I'm not sure what percentage KeSPA teams take.
