Because they need to make money?

That's sad. I hope he finds a new team.

For a stable salary, especially for those long breaks that happens between seasons.

I guess this is do to his weak showings lately? I mean...you still have Scarlett, Dream and Cyan...which is a roster that (seems to me) can really put up a good fight versus any team in the league...

At first, I thought the timing was a little strange. But, its the one year mark, so looks to be just a normal contract wrapping up.

Yeah, "Stable": "Player X has joined," 1 Month later: "Player X has Left".

Solo player are sponsored by a single and or smalle sponsor, not by teams. How many Tennis/Dart Player are in teams?

Quite a few tennis players are on team actually, altought the "main" sponsor that has a squad of player and coaches are not always the only one.

It's quite obvious that most esport players don't have the ability to reach out to sponsors and for the sponsors a team can be a safer bet since it's a single package for a bunch of players. Sports players have agent, SC2 player can't afford that. Team can also book flights and hotel so you don't need to do it.

Also someone better make a clean version of that Hurricane picture, it's a good one.

Oh come on now, that's a bit pedantic. Of course it's the sponsor who gives a team their ability to pay players. Hurricane is a pro and wouldn't join a team that didn't pay him because otehrwise what's the point.

The new post of "SC2 teams react to War Chest Team League" write about what contribution the team have, read that.
