STX Soul has retreated their entire team roster from the benches.
On the match that took place on Yongsan eSports Satdium on the 21st, on the Shinhan Bank Proleague 09-10 Rould 5 Week 4 Match 3, STX has retreated their entire roster with the exception of Manager Kim Eun Dong and Coach Park Jong Soo.
Following this, STX Players, other than the one player who is playing in the match, will watch the game with Coach Park Jae Suk in the waiting room behind the bench, and after the match is over, show up for a bit and after hi fives and Fightings, they returned to the waiting room.
This was revealed to be a new strategy for STX. STX's manager Kim Eun Dong revealed that "This is a new strategy we are using from today's game on", and said that "I don't know how long we'll be doing this but for now we'll operate our games like this", and added that "I hope everyone will see this as a strategy while we finish up the regular season and the post season."
Continuing, Manager Kim Eun Dong said that "We haven't decided on whether or not we continue this strategy or go for another strategy, but the details are a secret", and said that "We'll reveal the secret when the season ends, or if we win at the KwangAhnRi Finals we will reveal the reason then".

STX always has the worst PR with their fans and this definitely won't help lol

I am disappointed that this is seriously something they spent their time thinking up.
|
what can they do in a waiting room but be unable to do on the benches?
|
There goes my only hope of seeing Tossgirl or July...
|
Maybe it takes the pressure of players who get nervous from the crowd. =_=
|
Perhaps they find it hard to discuss the match and plans moving forward amongst themselves with cameras and all the sound and lights etc. of the studio around them. It makes sense to me.

I actually think it's to make them prepare for matches.

Lets be serious now. Because of the new rule that players aren't reveal before their matches, it is better for the teams to not show potential players before their matches and give the option of throwing WTF players at the other team with more WTFness.

Maybe they're performing ritualistic animal sacrifices to Satan in order to win more games.

This. They're going to play Tossgirl at some point and they don't want the other team to see her on the bench and expect it.

this is so stupid, fans will never get to see their favorite STX players unless they're playing
|
STX sick of getting sNIPEDDD?

So what exactly are they planning to do on the inside that they can't do on the outside?
|
"I hope everyone will see this as a strategy while we finish up the regular season and the post season."
what an odd thing to say
|
Maybe watching game make players more nervous, so @ waiting room waiting for their turn give them much more focus?

terrible concept and ruins the whole concept of proleague
|
I noticed that the other day. What the hell, STX? I think the benefits would be minimal at best for the players and damaging to the reputation of the team.
