Team SCV Life - one of the first and currently one of the leading Korean pro-teams - will be a subject to a grand roster and practice restructuring. The most notable change in TSL's player line-up is the departure of core players like Clide and Killer.
Team SCV Life has been a team with long and tough experiences with inner turmoil. The misfortunes of the team began mid-2011 when Rain, FruitDealer, Trickster and Puma all left the team within two months time, followed by its expulsion from and later readmittance to SC2Con in August. In the last few days it became apparent that TSL will undergo more major changes, both roster and training-wise.
The biggest hit to TSL's line-up is the leave of Clide, Killer and JYP, leaving the team without a single protoss. Clide and Killer have been the core of the team since the middle of this year but while the terran has found a new home at SlayerS, Killer and JYP are as of now free agents.
"I anticipate that the departure of many key players from the team will cause many fans to worry and a number of rumors to be perpetuated", said TSL's coach Lee. "However I would like to emphasize that this decision was not made on the base of a rift within the team or contract issues and was entirely mutual, based on both the players' and the team's respect for one another and desire for further progress."
To pour fresh strength into the now weakened roster, TSL have recruited ex-BroodWar progamer HyuN, formerly of MBCGame Hero. HyuN, who played Zerg in his BroodWar days, will continue to do so during his new StarCraft 2 career.

Coach Lee will also be aiming to introduce a new practice and training regime into the TSL house. What will it be exactly and how big a result will it bring remains to be seen.
