Looks like this has caused some interest on the topic but it doesn't say that they are done because Chris left and he did say on the webcast that he is with the Ironmen roster. He also said he wasn't playing Pro to allow for his knee injury to heal so that could also be left to an open ended statement

While there has not been an official statement from Ken on the status of the PVB it would not be the first time that a team has went down when Lasoya was on the roster. Nothing wrong with the guy at all on any grounds though.

I've talked with a couple of PBV players and they all said that there hasn't been an official decision made yet, and that when is made, it will come from Ken himself.

So it's rather pointless for anyone to speculate about it.

As for the Lasoya incident, I read from one of the Vipers players that he was asked to sit out a couple of times throughout the tournament and it didn't sit too well with him, leading to some friction between him and the players, leading up to his decision to part ways with the team.

For LaSoya to work well with a team they have to understand him. Anyone who asks him to sit while playing Semi-Pro does not meet this requirement.

Also, if he's on the Ironmen roster, he would have been looking for an 'out' from PBV. Typically Pro's don't like/don't know how to approach difficult topics like for example, um, 'leaving a team right after they just joined it, because they got a better and more glamorous offer'
Its easier to have a fall-out/dispute, or take greivious offence to something, then you don't have to explain yourself or feel nearly as uncomfortable...

of course, I could be wrong..

Are you telling me that pro's arent half as much 'smooth operators' as i recently thought? Shocking! However, Entertaining post Missy :)
