Not really notable players, but (T)Always and (T)Point have called it quits as KeSPA progamers, joining Brave amongst the list of Samsung KHAN casualties this season.

Apparently neither of them have played a game in almost an entire year. Well good luck to them in whatever is next.

Doesn't matter if they're notable or not.... always a heart breaking thing to see progamers leave the scene T-T...

Wait, people are actually blaming SC2 for two B-teamers leaving the team when one has never played and the other is 0-3? If it stayed full BW and only five sets per match, these guys would have already quit. It's sad that they had to give up, but if anything, SC2 gives players like these an actual chance to fight to be on the A-team. With Jangbi, Stork, Turn, Reality, etc. on the team, these guys would have never seen the light of day.

Hopefully they do well in whatever they decide to do next.

Sad to see, but like it has been said before they never did see very much playing time in the past or present. Good luck to both of them.

7-8 players have left Khan in the last 3 months alone.

January is the one coach who believes in the players that are not S-class nor A-class material as well regardless of what it does to her reputation (and we all know how much we Khan fans rage when it costs a ProLeague match). It's a significant blow.
It takes an idiot to do cool things.

They practiced BW and to have that completely wiped is demotivating to say the least. I don't think they'll feel much better because everyone else has to restart too.

I actually take this as a good sign. It shows that January's upfront to her players about the switch and possible consequences. No use to hang on to something when you have basically no future in it. I personally don't mind these guys leaving. Progamers have to dedicate so much to the game that they need to love it. Otherwise, why bother?

Now it's a matter of Samsung Khan recruiting SC2 players to replenish their depth.

sure, once you've used someone up and then completely changed things up on them you can just find someone new to take out of school and give 12 hours of practice a day to
