As you guys know, MBCplus plans to axe MBCGame channel at the end of the year next year [in an interview, the Kespa chairman said that the channel will be maintained until March 2012]. They are pulling out of esports altogether, in order to focus on setting up their own kpop channel. As a result, both the MBCGame HERO (SC) and MBCGame HERO+ (SF) teams have been disbanded.
However, yesterday, DailyEsports revealed that the SF team has reportedly found a new sponsor and they are making preparations for the founding of the new team. This is indeed good news, especially since the current line-up HERO plus consists of former Estro SF players.
Im Sura, playing-coach of the SF team, posted a message on HERO Gallery (dcinside) saying she had no idea they had found a sponsor until she read the DES article. o.o
I really hope the HERO SC team has found a new sponsor too! 화이팅! A bank sponsor would be nice.
Hopefully this is good news for the SC team. As infinity said, SC is more popular than SF isn't it? I can't imagine it would be much of a stretch for them to find someone too.
Omg that sea picture so good At least one team is saved... makes this demise of MBC feel a bit better, but the burning question still remains... where is our qtpatootie going to go??

Yup, SC is a lot bigger but an SF team is much cheaper to maintain. Although the MBC SF team this season did achieve a whopping 28.6% winrate. The previous MBC SF team did much better in PL but for some reason MBC execs decided to replace the entire team with ex-Estro players for the 2010-2011 season.

Haha yeah, I love that pic too Sea has been tweeting cryptic messages lately. I don't know if it has anything to do with sponsors though.

Until I realized that he totally looked like Justin Bieber in that picture
FML.
You just had to point that out. Cannot unsee. -_-
Either way, this is really great news for the SF team. Now all we need are sponsors for the SC teams. Speaking of which, have there been any updates regarding sponsors for the disbanded teams?
