Team GP announced on January 16th that their contracts with (Wiki)Ryung, (Wiki)Prince, and (Wiki)NightMare had ended (it was also revealed that NightMare had technically been on "lease" from Club NV).

As Team GP gets ready to play in the WTL playoffs in early February, they are left with (Wiki)Cham as the only remaining player on its SC2 roster. Team owner TheBarTV said on Discord that Team GP would still participate in the WTL playoffs and was searching for new players.

Oh no.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Contracts ends before the season ends? That's truly surprising. Why do that? Who benefits?

The playoffs got delayed significantly cause many on the production team got COVID during the recent surge in China. It was supposed to happen in early January.

Good that they play even if they are out of contracts. Who knows, if they perform well they may get re-signed. :D

I know this sound unfair to GP, but if they cant put up a decent roster for the playoff, I would even prefer Team Liquid to get pumped up to that playoff spot.

Oh I must have missed that, I thought that the team would just try to find new players to replace the one who just left.

Yeah I read it as the team will still be playing and is trying to find new players in time for the match.
What do you mean Immortals can't shoot up?

Sorry for unclear wording. The team only has a single player at the moment, but it seems like they're trying to find new players in time for the playoffs.

Man, I was so hype for them to finally make the playoff, that's a real monkeypaw wish now.

Hopefully they have the financial aspect figured out. It would really be a shame if the Koreans miss out on their payoff because they got cut before the end of the season.

This is huge news - wonder where the three of them will go, and who Team GP will sign to replace them.

Team GP is appearantly starting a PUBG Mobile team:

So there was probably no budget for that many SC2 players left
I also doubt, they will find any WTL level players in time, if their budget is tight.

If that comes true, they should forfeit their spot in the playoffs in favour of Team Liquid I think.

That's reckless, 100% conjecture regarding budget. GP previously ran a very successful, championship-level Kart Rider team for over a year alongside its SC2 team

But indeed, time does seem tight if they're trying to get two competitive players in time for the playoffs.

It's also hard to justify why Team Liquid should then get the spot, when their results in the regular season have been less than stellar.
I'm just a cynical video game enjoyer who is probably unfazed by many business dealings many would find utterly distasteful, while not strictly illegal by the law as seen in a general sense in the world.

To be honest, the only reason I root for Team Liquid getting the spot is that Skillous has signed with them and should be eligible to play. Alongside Clem and Elazer, they have a good shot to make a deep run in the playoff.

I don't want GP any harm, but what is more fair? Having a team in the Playoffs that barely did not qualify or having a team in the playoffs that I believe has the same win-loss record, but gets represented by an entirely new squad?
