Korean Protoss Dear will be leaving Chinese team KaiZi Gaming by the end of his contract. He has been with KaiZi for half a year.

Interesting shrink down from them for the coming season. Dear just wasn't very solid last season, so I can see where this is coming from. TIME, Inno, Solar all season long every match then.

Hm kinda expected it with His performance, still not Sure if not having a (in theory) good toss might hurt. Hope He can find a new Team soon.

Edit: also feels Like He hit Kind of a downtrend recently, Not so good Performance and health issues (might be related) and now teamless again, Hope He can bounce Back.

Not happy about this for Dear. It seems an awful lot like the Dear graph is approaching readability lately, and not in a good way.

Maybe Kaizi figured it's not worth it to try to bye the league, only to keep players away from other teams. If you don't need them to play anyway it's not important enough. Still, three players seems too few, especially with all the tournaments that are going on these days.

Hope all the former Kaizi players find new teams soon.

Kaizi is suddenly now one of the GTC teams with the least depth in their roster alongside LP and BSG.

And still if the format stays the same they have the best Chinese and 2 of the best Korean players in the league so ultimately they're still favorites.

With 7 rounds only this season any form of successful lineup counter or mistake will be more impactful.

How do you lineup counter Solar-Inno-TIME? Most teams can't hope to do that.

The same way you counter linup dear-inno-time Solar imo has the same weakness to underperform Like Dear, so If you sac your weak Player to inno Beat time and then solar is Off, voila.

I think Solar is more reliable than Dear (he performed better last season too) and also even in that situation TIME+Solar would only need to win a combined 1 game for ace and 2 for outright win as long as Inno does his job. And against a lot of teams you can expect that much from them.

So I don't think Kaizi's position in the tournament changes much from this. I mean more options are nice and all but if they're on the bench every week anyway... well. I think Jin Air coming back affects them more.

Is there a cap on the amount of players you can have in the Chinese team league?

Cap as in a money cap.

Whether this is true or not why would it be "hilarious"?

Americans do it in their leagues, doing it or not is not a key to fix or not things.
