I posted this in the PL Roster thread, but I'll make a new thread anyways. Basically it's just bits of information on each team as well as the explanation as why KTF's lineup is showing some drastic changes.

WeMade FOX: Casy

Due to his absence from progaming over the months of his battle with OGN, Casy was given time to recover to his old form by starting off with the B team. Once he's back to his old skill then he will be included in the A team and the Proleague roster.


KTF: ChoJJa, GooDFriend, Ever)Z(aQua, Sync

This situation here is much worse. All four players were given a paid leave, and are no longer at the Magic Camp (KTF HQ)... The only difference is that ChoJJa and GF are allowed back depending on the situation.

There's no specific details, but basically there's some inner-team problems between the players. In a recent interview with the KTF Coach, Ra, Reach and Garimto about the new season of proleague, they all mention that their weakest attribute is their inability to work as a team. Now, THIS IS ONLY SPECULATION, but I think this is a hint that recently the team has been divided amongst the players. And seeing how ChoJJa, GF, aQua and Sync are all kicked out of the Camp (apparently GF and Chojja are currently paid on-line practice members... lower than B team), these 4 must have been the main problem. Whether the problem is amongst themselves or against others, we don't know.

In the case of ChoJJa and GF, as mentioned earlier they are allowed back once the problems or fixed. FiFo mentions that KTF tried to trade ChoJJa and GF off since they are strong players, but their name values were too high for other teams to take them.

SKT1

It was announced in FiFo a few weeks ago that both Rainbow and Kingdom were "technically B Team". I don't think it was official, but both players were training with the B Team and were following their schedule. The reasons stated were obviously due to the lack of results these two have been showing. The roster shows Kingdom but now Rainbow, which leads me to believe that Rainbow is still struggling with playing up to his skill.

Meanwhile the captain has been changed from Kingdom to Oov. However, the jobs to the team captain has been reduced significantly as to not overwork the captain, and giving him sufficient time to train himself and practice.

CJ Entus

This news was a few weeks back, but it FiFo wrote on August 14th that both XellOs and Much REQUESTED themselves to be demoted to the B Team. It is said that they follows the B team schedule (which is usually much more intense than the A team), trained with them and even did the chores given to the B team like laundry and dishwashing (which is extremely rare since both of them are much older than the others... a real humble thing to do especially in Korean culture).

But only a week later both XellOs and Much were able to pass their offline prelims at the OGN Starchallange, showing great effect. It isn't stated however if both players were brought back to A team or not. I'm assuming they are by now.

well much is slated to play in the 2v2 this week against STX, so i'd think he is back in A team.

Thanks for these notes, really interesting to hear some of the back stories that are going on.

XellOs and Much could definitely have used the extra practice, given their recent form. The chores... eh, guess if that's being part of the B team.

the most interesting news here is definitely what\'s going on in the KTF house...

chojja/goodfriend/sync/aqua (why the fuck is aqua grouped with those three lol) have been having problems with other team members/each other?? damn... chojja/goodfriend are still pretty damn skilled and sync wasn\'t doing so bad in one of those prelims



it's pretty clear why xellos and much were moved down if you read a little into the story... they probably were unsatisfied with their performances and wanted to motivate themselves to train harder so they dropped off the A team for more intensive practice sessions and to make them hungrier

goddamn CJ are monsters

CJ is crazy (-_-)

KTF internal problems.. sigh. KTF_Blaze Forever fireworks terran. He passed prelims, too. I had some hope for him.

GF and ChOJJa pretty integral members. It's sort of weird to see them go. Hope they're back soon.

I just want RainBOw and Casy back in the proleague. After that Rekrul gossip, I never really cared about BadFriend. Too bad for Cowboy Zerg and Sync though. Also great to see Xellos and Much really showing dedication and determination.

I sure hope KTF work out their problems and Rainbow + Kingdom come back. Much and Xellos's determination is extremely impressive however, that's true dedication.

I really want Chojja to return to form, and (I can't believe I'm saying this) even more so for GoodFriend.

I never liked either, but they added a lot of color to the progaming scene.
returns upon momentous occasions.
