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.

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

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.

Yeah I think he will go to KT since they lost out on Parting.
But It would be so much better if some of the bad teams would pick up a solid player like this.

So in a year from now there won't be any Korean teams other than those in Proleague.
All I do is Stim.

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.
