According to TSG manager Cloudy's saying, It would be Cure. Source update: Got new information from scboy.xiaose during his casting tonight (GTM+8) that JAGW is facing trouble renewing their player's contracts (at least for some of the players, e.g. Cure and Creator I believe) since the team is cutting costs and cannot provide reasonable offers to them. So it is now a good chance for other teams, especially for some Chinese teams like DPG or KZ which can offer a lot. | ||

Or does this simply mean that JAGW didn't re-sign Cure for 2020? (To be honest, I'm also worried for Creator if Cure was not able to continue to stay on JAGW) | ||

(To be honest, I'm also worried for Creator if Cure was not able to continue to stay on JAGW) I'm pretty sure JAGW will live on and you will see them on next year's CTC, but obviously some of their players are on the transfer market and open to offer. (Cuz some Chinese teams can provide good offers, like DPG signed Dark for 4000 usd/month) | ||

I hate to say this but SC2 scene in KR is pretty much dead. No new blood. A ton of high-profile players are leaving due to military service. Even the returned players like FanTaSy are done with SC2. Everyone knows SCBW is actually more popular than SC2 in KR. GSL is still going simply because of Blizzard. Paying salary and housing for 5 progamers in a game that has no publicity and visibility in the market is not a good investment in KR. May as well trim it down to 3 so at least they can continue to support SC2. | ||

Try to remember what Maynard said about positivity in the scene, it helps a lot. I also think, that it is much more likely, that Cure was the one taking the inicitive here.. | ||

Feels more likely to be DPG offering Cure a good deal rather than Jin Air letting players loose. | ||

Yes, there's another rumor given by xiaose that an unknown Chinese LPL club is considering to establish their sc2 team and they're looking for players, but I doubt there are enough players for them to choose right now since regular season of CTC is being played online so signing players from America or Europe isn't a good idea. And in case you guys need: Firefly --> DPG confirmed. TY --> TSG 99% chance (only one step from official announce). | ||

The chinese team owners are rich, it makes sense that JAGW can not make a higher offer if you look at the popularity of sc2 in Korea. Edit: Damn TY getting poached from Splyce too? | ||

Stets is going to the army next year, TY himself is most likely a replacement for herO who's leaving. | ||

Pretty much, makes a lot more sense than JAGW cutting Cure anyway, especially if they’re keeping Creator around. Might not even be purely a salary thing either, perhaps they’re offering Cure more freedom to travel to and participate in various foreign events or something like that too. | ||

What foreign events? oO Cure was just missing at ROG IIRC. He was at Katowice and HSC. | ||

Maru doesn't like to travel, so he was a stand in, but probably from the HSC side of things | ||
