Startale is the last Korean org to not join KESPA, so it's literally like a nod to that, I would think. | ||

Pretty good news, although it probably signs Prime's death sentence. | ||

Basically when they left eSF. Anyway, good news for StarTale. Maybe they turn out to be a contender for the 4th playoff spot. Probably not, because the top 4 are just... insanely strong... but who knows. | ||

In late 2013, MVP, IM, Prime, and Najin (LoL organization) joined Kespa. In the last year or so, Kespa has made it so you dont necessarily need to join them to participate in Proleague. | ||

Honestly that's why I didn't like that Prime Sbenu rumor, it's too much akin to making fun of the poor kid for being poor. | ||
