 Ryung, Prince, and 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 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.

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

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? | ||

Whether Liquid failed to qualify by a single map or by one million points is irrelevant. It's absolutely the the latter. A team deserves substantial credit for signing players, committing to the league, and helping make the tournament possible. If those players are no longer part of the team due to extraordinary circumstances, the organization should not be punished for it. | ||
