 Spear[Shield] has been transferred to Hwaseung Oz from OGN. Oz felt that this would strengthen their Protoss lineup.In my opinion, Hwaseung's Protoss lineup must suck a lot to have to import Spear, whose only notable achievement is knocking  sAviOr out of the MSL a couple of seasons ago. Anyway, isn't Young and BackHo both better than Spear?Source: Wfbrood | ||

BackHo is miles better than most Protoss really, only the six dragons are clearly better then he is. | ||

Had to be in hospital for about a month because of back problems (heh..), such a long time and no practice probably dropped his skill a lot. Such a bad timing as he was just starting to do extremely well in invidual leagues and also was a very nice players for the team. | ||

Spear hasn't even played a TV game since December, and when he did he had horrible PvP/PvT, and mediocre PvZ (I guess?). | ||

Spear is only going to make Hwaseung's Protoss lineup weaker, though. What's with these weird player trades that make no sense. Let's get a Protoss, which team should we look at? OGN, of course, duh. | ||

i mean for terran they have  Lomo, fOrGG and HiyA who are all good players that deliver in proleaguefor zerg they have.. Jaedong, who team carries in proleaguefor protoss they have Young, and now BackHo is back (but hes probably out of shape) so really that only leaves young for now, it makes sense to recruit someone | ||

For a very little money they're hoping for a small chance of him becoming something, remember even Flash was bought like this from WeMade before becoming a huge star. They need a protoss and for some reason don't want to buy an already established superstar they really have no other ways of acquiring one but taking a cheap offer from another team or scouting up and coming amateurs and its far easier to buy from another team. | ||

The dragons aren't going to go anywhere, unless it's for a stupid amount of money, so OZ has to look somewhere for Protoss talent. If I was OZ I would have been trying to get a player like Horang or Tazza instead of Spear, but I'm sure OGN holds them at much higher esteem than Spear and wants to keep them around. Only other option would have been to try out some of STX's second string protoss players like SoO or YoonJoong, but I don't know how open STX is to transferring out their talent. | ||

Buying a player that qualifies as a 'dragon' would cost a small fortune right now, especially because they already have binding contracts and can't just hop in to another team because of better salary, you have to pay the team quite a big amount of money to be able to transfer a player. When you think about the current situation of these top protoss players, most of them are from teams that if they'd lose the player they would be helpless, for example Woongjin and STX heavily rely on their protoss player and really it'd hurt them so much to lose those players. The only 'dragon' I can think of being possible for the team to give out is Best, but the team is T1 and with such a big sponsor they probably aren't exactly looking to selling out their players for money, maybe they could trade him away for a zerg though? That'd be awesome, just that OZ really has no other zergs to give out but Jaedong and that would be just silly. The reason they took Spear is probably just because he was offered when Hwaseung contacted the other teams, its not that common that talented players (results or not) are offered to be sold, so when the situation is bad they just have to take what they can. | ||

Jaedong to SKT1 would be crazy. Just imagine it, SKT which doesn`t have any weakness other than no strong zergs.  | ||
