So, we have all seen the recent Facebook post, or heard of it through our beautiful Seeker, but apparently there is more. Quoting from an article by D-eSports.com:
Although the article only says Squirtle is looking for a new team, according to James Banks, EU manager for StarTale, Squirtle specifically intends to join a KeSPA Team.
"It is very sad to see Squirtle leaving the team. We tried negotiations with Squirtle but were unable to match what he wanted. He will now be looking for a new team which is most likely to be a kespa team. Having spent a lot of time with Squirtle both in Korea and ESWC last year I have to say he is a great player and was a devoted member of StarTale from the start, I wish him all the best."
So, what are your thoughts? I'm hoping he ends up on T1 with PartinG, but I'm a fanboy (of both the players and the team). Let's see, hmm?
The full article can be found here.
I will be updating the thread as more news comes in.

SK Telecom T1. Squirtle, Parting, Rain, Bisu, Best, and Afrotoss will be the new Six Dragons in SC2.

Bisu? Lol'd sorry

Leasing surprising news ever. SKT needs another toss.
It will obviously be KT since they just lost the parting posting.
|
I hope it will be a great team so that I can continue supporting the team with Squirtle in it! If he joins SKT I might just jump off my balcony in joy
|
Mm was thinking he would try for foreign team. Best of luck to him though
|
its because parting is getting 60k for 8 months on skt

KTSquirtle would be nice.
|
I really thought Squirtle would try for a foreigner team, but KESPA seems to be the main attraction in Korea with all the money that the teams can offer.

|
So in a year from now there won't be any Korean teams other than those in Proleague.

i really hope that isnt true, i love gom and the GSL still trumps the OSL for skill IMO

As I said before. Squirtle to KT would be so fucking cool. Imagine the rivalry emerging between Parting and Squirtle on their respective teams.

He can't end in SKT unless they are the only ones who are willing to pay whatever salary Kespa will negotiate with him.
I guess he will have much lower salary then Parting, so also "not-so-rich" teams may be able to bid on him. I would say STX, WJS and CJ (in that order) need to strengthen their protoss line the most.
