This edition arriving 11 days faster than planned!
Trials, Marriages, Fanmeetings. Anyppi eating Cake. Good byes. The "Light girl" that has been talked about. Oh, and Starcraft 2. Prepare for another Odds and Ends. Also expect terrible, awkward English ahead. Insomnia blows.
Leta joins the "Hundred Million Won" Club.
If rumors about Leta's old salary were true, Leta has tripled his Salary with his Free Agency. His salary is now a hundred million won (84500 USD), with incentives based on the number of wins he gets next season.
The Sparkyz Executive Office's Han Eung Soo commented that "Leta wanted to stay on the team, and the team also understood that how much they needed Leta", adding that "In order to reward Leta for his hard work, and to hope that Leta will lead the team well in the future, we ended up with a 100 million won contract."
Progame teams and Starcraft 2
For the players whose contracts are running out this end of August and did not extend their contract, at least they have Starcraft 2.
One of the progame teams has been revealed to have their players whose contracts are ending practice Starcraft 2. Meanwhile, another progame team seems to have purchased state of the art computers so that their players could experience Starcraft 2. And in another progame team, the players have been practicing SC2 on their free time.
Especially, a specific progamer, a Starleague winner, has been revealed to join the Starcraft 2 Clan Prime to enter Starcraft 2 once his contract with his current team ended. Meanwhile, an upper-middle class progamer even demanded compensation for joining a Starcraft 2 league.
Regarding July, Prime's coach Lee Joon Ho has said this.
"He is active in the clan, but he's not in our game team [T/N: Prime recently turned into a team]. In the case of July, he is good not just as a gamer but also as a commentator, so I think he has the potential to show the e-Sports industry a lot more. But I'm sure he has something planned. If he folds everything and comes in, then we will accept him, but as of right now, July is not part of the Prime game team."
Starcraft 2 also finally broke gametrics top 10 chart for yesterday. Sadly, WoW resurfaced and took it off the top 10 chart the day after.
5 minute trial
As added before, type-b and go.go has requested a trial, likely to appeal their fines. Apparently, go.go went into appeal because he thinks the fines are too much, and the Judge said that the amount of trust damaged by match fixing is too much, and suggested go.go drop the case. Fomos reports that go.go dropped the trial and moved on. . type-b didn't show up, since he entered the military this past June.
Apparently the entire thing happened in 5 minutes.
It was revealed how much the fines were during this trial. For the rest of the progamers not on the front pages, they will be fined...
go.go: 5 million won + additional 6 million won
type-b: 5 million won + additional 6.5 million won
Hwasin: 5 million won + additional 6 million won
Upmagic: 3 million won + additional 3.5 million won
Luxury: 5 million won + additional 7.5 million won
Fake Yellow: 2 million won.
The STX Cup as a Wedding Gift
SKT's manager Park will not be able to attend the STX Cup, due to his wedding on the 21st. He has, however, requested that the team and the coaches all go down to the STX Cup, and get him the STX Cup as a Wedding gift.
Yikes.

In other news apparently Secret is performing in the STX Cup as a closer.
Good bye, Coach Cho
CJ Entus, on the 18th held a good bye party for Coach Cho. Attended by CJ Entus's Executive Office, Coaches, and Teams, they delivered a Crest, Flowers, and a present by Iris. Furthermore, the players also collected money amongst themselves and bought Coach Cho a golfball made of Pure Gold.
Coach Cho commented that "I've always been at the position to see people leave, but now that I'm the main character, the emotions I feel is really something. I also didn't dream of the players preparing a gift for me, so I have no idea what I could say" He added that "While I've resigned from the position of a manager, as time goes by, I'll remain as a person who can be of a greater help to you guys so don't worry about anything and concentrate on practice". He then scolded Effort for losing a match in the WCG that day.
Classy, KT Rolster

-The reason why Flash lost his Ace matches? He got tackled by Princess in a soccer match with Hwaseung Oz and injured his Arm a bit it seems. Followed by that injury, Flash went on a 6 game Ace match losing streak. But Flash being Flash doesn't want to admit to that and says that "But I won all the regular games" so he denied the correction.
-Best - Fantasy - Canata got destroyed in a 3 vs 5 fan meeting match. WeMade, however, won a 2 vs 5 fan meeting match. This obviously proves that WeMade is superior to SKT, except when we consider Canata was playing it might as well be a 2 vs 5. SKT's fault for picking only guys for the fan meeting match, I guess.
-Poor s2. No one seems to like him. First, they typo his name for the eSports Seoul fanmeeting they held. Then, Fantasy joined the s2 bashing party, as when Fantasy was asked "Who is the easiest to deal with on your team", he answered "s2 hyung. No offense". Canata dealt the finishing blow to s2, saying that the player who listens to him the most is s2, claiming that "s2 is just an easy guy". "Because he's an easy guy, he's easy to deal with so he listens to me the best". Poor s2.
- Someone asked NaDa, "NaDa, what's the secret to your baby face?". NaDa answered "Baby", commenting that "I think I'm getting younger because I've been living with young players. Especially Baby, as I've been living with him, I feel my skin has been getting better"
- QookTV will be holding a contest where you can play against KT Rolsters with Handicaps. I hope this is broadcasted.
