TSL was known for having financial problems, and losing Polt/Revival made it more apparent that TSL wasn't the most stable or sustainable team around. Yes, HyuN and Symbol are Code S level players who have big names, but it doesn't really matter when their team is suffering, and no matter how good their results were, they didn't get a sponsor. If TSL say, won GSTL or GSL, they probably would have got a decent sponsor and floated a bit longer, but TSL was dying slowly for a while now. Polt, HyuN and Symbol kept it alive, but most people realized TSL wouldn't last forever. | ||

TSL had such an amazingly weird history. There were three distinct generations, tons of controversy, and lots of ups and downs. I don't know when I will write it or when it'll be out, but this team deserves something written about them in full. TSL was never a GSTL champion, but they will not be forgotten. | ||

I think by the end of 2013, ESF will be IM, Startale, FXO and HoSeo. | ||

All in all, I think teams will struggle more this year than last year. Viewers may increase a bit but just liking spamming money into a country, it really devalues everything else.. Saturation is bad, but how to solve saturation? | ||

They sign a bunch of middle of the road players. A week later and they could have talked to Polt, Parting, Supernova, Symbol, Hyun, and BboongBboong. Oops. | ||

This doesn't surprise me all that much, as it seems like the NSH team is at least partly funded through the school in which they operate, effectively insulating them from a lot of sponsorship ups and downs. | ||
