Ok, my mind is racing now and I have many questions that really need to be answered so we can have a clear picture of what the competitive scene will look like in Korea. 1st You wrote that STX Soul could "potentially" disband, so it isn't official yet. Is it not then possible that KeSPA could support STX Soul the team, in the same fashion they have supported T8, until they find a new sponsor? 2nd If the answer to the 1st question is no and STX does disband, how are the players handled, will they be distributed to other teams (most probably some to Jin Air since they require a lot of new players), or will they they be allowed to join any team they see fit with KeSPA mediating it all? 3rd And last question, if STX does disband who would take their place in proleague? to 3: With only 6 Pro League Teams atm, there is much more uncertaincy about a SC2 Pro League next year. | ||

mm that link doesn't say STX is disbanded or going to disband. It says that with the transfer of Innovation to "the foreign team", the ongoing existence of STX Soul must be called into question. It also points out that if STX pulls out, the players go into the stewardship of KeSPA. There's nothing about KeSPA making another 8th team or anything like that. Some of the Korean comments are calling the writer out on this just being a sensationalist editorial. | ||

It is a sad day for sure the day it becomes "official" because they are such an old team with a lot of history. I hope the players will find new teams and the whole ordeal will go as good as is possible. STX Soul will be missed for sure | ||

Thanks you for the info, this basically seems to just confirm that Innovation is indeed leaving the team, but beyond that doesn't indicate if or not the team will disband. Still many questions remain as to what would happen if it did pull out, and especially what the next teams would be in the next PL (or if there would even be one). | ||
