And Jeffery (I assume it's the bald dude, don't know anything about korean doto but he looks like a leader material) intends on keeping the team together in preparation for future leagues.

well bomber was really their only player worth marketing and he's left so no reason for redbull to really keep the partnership I guess.



Forgot about life but he's a little young for redbull to really go all in on him I think. My bad



other than life though there's Curious who's definately not marketable and then their next best player is hack who hasn't done enough and certainly isn't going to inspire faith in redbull marketing teams well bomber was really their only player worth marketing and he's left so no reason for redbull to really keep the partnership I guess.Forgot about life but he's a little young for redbull to really go all in on him I think.
