Yoda and First's contracts with IM are now expired, and it seems like they will find new teams.

They are looking for foreign teams, and they have already chosen Europe for their WCS.

IM Coach Kang said, "It's true that the contracts are expired. It's a shame that we didn't support them good enough. Good luck for the players in their new teams."

IM can't support as many players without the LG sponsorship, sucks to see them go but it can't be helped I suppose.

IM still has a pretty ridiculous lineup even after these guys walk. It's cool to see players mobilizing from Korea to compete in foreign lands.

I think when these things happen, you can't exclusively think that it's the team dropping the players. It can also very well be the players own wish. From my experience, it is actually more often than not the players themselves that wants to part ways either to for a breath of fresh air, or because he believe he is worth more than what was being offered.

Well certainly a 5 man proleague doesn't help teams who have large rosters, because it reduces opportunities to play, and there's still a smaller number of WCS events like last year, so they probably see more chance to earn money and play abroad, since 3 or 4 WCS per year and maybe a handful of proleague games might not be appealing, from a leaving IM perspective obviously, not Mana.
HOLY CHECK!

mhhh haven't looked at it from this perspective. I shall redraft: mouz should have offered maNa more to make him stay with the team :D
I guess I am just being a bit nostalgic here with only Hasuobs remaining from the "old" team.

I think the Korean scene is just not big enough to support as many players. But if those Koreans think they'll have it easy in EU or NA they will have a rude awakening. There are not nearly enough big foreign teams to support all these Koreans. I guess we'll see a bunch more retirements in the near future which is sad. But SC2 is just not big enough for so many professional players
Just ahead of time, know your addiction's not a crime. It's just a smaller part of who you want to become in the end.

nooooo! D:

Too much sadness in such little time.

Maybe Acer will finally get a protoss and pick up First or something.

jjakji is going to play normal qualifier not the wildcard system.



Innovation will play WCS KR.
