Not exactly sure what it is but the members of mbcgamelove cafe are going to do something today at 5pm at the square outside Yongsan iparkmall. Hopefully there will be some media coverage of this.

I'd pay to watch live coverage of that event if it was possible.

Unfortunately I can see a lot of those wemade players retiring (either to SC2 or millitary or school etc) :\. Mind is past his prime, Roro has never been more than an average A-teamer who never got past the Ro32 in a league (maybe once he made Ro16 of MSL?), lucifer and Major never really played ever, and Midas hasn't been doing well either (I can see him going to ACE if they'll take him). None of them would really get much playtime with a much more competitive roster on a new team :\. Hopefully they chose to stay and stick it out a while longer and see if things get better, but it is possible that they would want to throw in the towel.

Really glad to see that essentially all of MBC is staying though, that team really has a great spirit. (although I really hope ruby stays, the guy is awesome and is really the 1st player to have a pretty successful career on ACE and really changed the way people view the team).

lol seriously? Roro and Mind would get TONS of playtime, especially if they go to teams where they're needed (Khan badly needs decent Zergs, KT could definitely use Mind). Lucifer is probably hopeless (been bad for a looong time), but Major is an upcoming rookie with much potential, so he would probably do well in another team. And with Midas.. decent terran who can help support a team with a weak Terran lineup. Though him retiring wouldn't really surprise me.

The majority of MBC players are still staying together in the MBC hostel but because the practice room has been converted into a "music" centre, they practice at a nearby PC bang. How heartbreaking is this.

wtf...

Regarding Mind and Roro, according to Fomos they didn't attend the seminar because of jaw surgery and Lasek surgery.

i feel bad for myself but i feel worse for these poor fuckin kids. seriously these teams pull these kids out of school and throw them in a practice room 12 hours a day to earn peanuts and then when the ratings get too low they replace them with another copycat pop channel? unbelievable

well compared to the other players from mbc/fox/wemade, they definitely arent frontrunners in getting picked up by other teams. If you are KHAN and you want to buy a new zerg, youre going to go with jaedong (obvi) or killer/shine. Mind probably has a better shot than midas/roro, but I cant think of any teams that really need a terran too much (maybe KT needs another terran besides flash?). Midas would be a good fit on a team that wants a more experienced terran to help guide younger players, but I dont see him getting equal amount of PL play on any team as he did get on fox :\.

DES published a really long interview with the secretary-general from SKT T1 (T1 chair Kespa). Apparently Kespa formed a task force to look for companies to take over sponsorship of the disbanded teams. He thinks that it's possible at least 1 or 2 new teams can be formed from among the companies they talk to. Also, Proleague is likely to begin in November.
