Clarification:

I am wondering if an S-class player(Flash and Jaedong now, Nada when he was bonjwa. You get the drill) has ever been traded from one team to another? And i am not counting x -> Air force Ace.

If not, has anyone atleast near S-Class, like fantasy at the moment, ever been traded?

PS. I mean of course when the players were in their prime.

Considering "S-Class" is a subjective classification and the fact that there have been so little progamers considered S-Class this kind of limits the possibilities.

Well Bisu moved from MBC to SKT, although he was starting to slump then too I think

Bisu went from MBC to SKT a pretty long time ago, don't know if you would consider him "at his prime" at the time.

Bisu.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

suny from eSTRO to KT
kwanro from CJ to stars

Also didn't KTF get compared to Real Madrid when they had Reach, Yellow, Nal-ra, Goodfriend etc

Not sure if they were all traded to them, but yea, they were all pretty immense

Bisu was probably in a mini slump at this time, but he had gone to 3 MSL finals and won 2 and was in the middle of his second straight OSL semi final run during the trade. So if he wasn't S class he was indeed close. I believe the price 400 million Won, but don't quote me on that.

That trade was so sad. Sea and Bisu were the best of friends, and they basically got ripped apart.

Cool, What team would you think would be most desperate of buying Stork if we consider this thread, Unnamed progaming team looking to sell, to be true and consern khan?

Bisu is the most important transfer
Also , forGG and Luxury were important , but they are not S class players

It just felt like trades are quite unimportant and not really heard of. But the bisu one is quite huge. I feel like the Midas trade could be quite important as well, if you consider that he was doing quite good not to long ago

Bisu getting sold to SKT during Bacchus 08 is as S class as you'll get. Even though he didn't win anything at the time, he was only half a year removed from his GOM TV Season 2 MSL win over Stork, and just 3 months removed from having lost to Mind in the Finals of Gom Season 3 MSL.

At the time he was consistently making semifinals and if not, he was getting bounced by the best players at the time (Stork, Flash). He wasn't THE best at the time (I'd rank Stork at that time over Bisu), but he was pretty damn close to it.
God Bless

Luxury was owning at the time and was considered to be the next big thing. His trade to KT was meant to seriously boost the team. He was near S-class at the time, winning a starleague and owning the proleague. fOrGG was off a starleague win as well, and was a 'second ace' before getting traded due to the fail that is Oz. And since when was Puma good?
