http://www.thegosucrew.com/starcraft-2-player-announcement/

This organization was built on StarCraft 2 back in 2010. We ran the Justin.tv Invitational tournaments that helped Twitch.tv become what it is today. Our co-founder, Eric, got his start as an esports caster and Jeff our other co-owner a tournament admin for StarCraft 2. We have also met esports legends like Total Biscuit, Day 9, DJ Wheat and pros such as TLO and WhiteRa. We have waited 8 long years to return to the game that started our esports dreams. Today we are beyond thrilled to announce we have signed:

Nice! Classic was too good not to be on a team.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

It's usually the opposite. The strong players make enough out of tournament winnings not to sign contracts.
Classic is now out of GSL though.

You'd think being a stronger players means teams want to sign you more, and hence offer more $ to go along with it.

Glad to see Classic on a team! Really hope he does well for the rest of the year, before he essentially retires.

Gogo Classic!

Probably goes both ways. If you're strong enough to be a contender (attractive to teams) but haven't actually been winning enough money via earnings alone (need extra cash), you probably will get appealing offers.
Jung Yoon Jong fighting, even after retirement! Feel better soon.

Here is Valencia last year.

Here is Valencia this year.

Average went up around 15k and peak doubled or went up by 35k. This does not include the 10k on the taiwanese stream.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Heard whispers/rumors not too long ago that he was gonna join the military soon. Guess being sponsored kinda dispels that?

Edit: Oops, should've watched the video first. So I guess next year is his last year? Will be sad to see him leave, Classic's one of my favorite players.

Not to derail the thread (grats on the signing), but could anyone point me towards a discussion I'm sure I've seen before: didn't (P)ChinToss get cosmetic surgery at some point?

Am I spooked or did each of Innovation and Classic have freak knock-outs of the GSL by foreigners right after signing with a new team?
