In todays broadcast of GSL ups and downs, it is revealed that b4 left prime!!!

no other info is given, i assume there will be more news later.

however now, Prime doesnt have any good zergs left!

Also confirmed by MMA as he asked b4 if he left prime, and B4 said yes.

update:
"BboongBboong," the man with the fun ID, Choi JongHyuk (24), has left the team Prime.
At the Mokdong Gom TV Studio on the 22nd of October at 6:10 PM, the Hot6ix GSL Season 5 A Up&Down Matches, he wore not his team uniform, but just a regular t-shirt. This is because JongHyuk has decided to leave prime to be a free agent.
Choi JongHyuk chose to be a free agent because he wanted to continue pursuing a different route of activities in progaming. He states, "For starters, it is absolutely not because there's a problem with the tea," leaving us only with our speculations.He continues to explain, "Because I want to continue progaming, I needed to switch my atmosphere and build up momentum,so I made this choice."
Choi JongHyuk will in the meantime practice from home, since leaving Prime. As he prepares for his upcomming leagues, he also plans to find a new team. Of course he will look at Korean teams, but he is also looking at foreign teams and wants to pick the team with the ideals closest to his gaming ideals.
Choi JongHyuk says, "I left prime with Park Waeshik the team manager'sconsent for me to leave. I have a lot of thinking and preparing to do so that in a new team I can become a new progamer. But in the meanwhile I want to thank Prime for all the help they've given me, including the team manager and workers who helped out."

No team shirt, and 'Prime' as part of his name in the GSL Up/Downs right now. Wolf also said MMA asked him in chat if he left Prime and apparently BBoongBBoong confirmed it.

Wolf asked B4 in-chat and he confirmed it.

He's also not wearing his prime shirt, and the 'prime' tag in his name in the player intro is gone.

I tried to get information on his as well, but could not manage to spell his name correctly.
Playoffs? You're talking about playoffs?

I hope he didn`t leave Prime in order to join a foreign team, as, with Slayers disbanding, the market is oversaturated and it`s unlikely that he will get an offer from a top5 foreigner team.

Sigh... he was the closest thing they had to a good zerg. Hopefully they can pick one up.

Miya was also very good in practice, reportedly.

EG going for a double pick up? MMA and B4. Wouldn't be surprising.
Team Liquid needs more Terrans.

No reason to pick up B4. They just got Stephano and Suppy. B4 isn't a big enough name to justify signing another Zerg. If it was someone like DRG, Life, or Symbol, then yeah, could see EG throwing out the check book, but B4 will probably just go to another Korean team or try to be another somewhat-kinda-good-but-not-marketable Korean to find a foreign team.
