It's funny to think how Kwanro and Action are the complete opposites. Action has awesome late game while Kwanro never wins unless he gets a significant advantage early on.

Without Estro, there will be slightly fewer proleague matches for each A-team player. I approve.

If eStro disbands, then I imagine that there will be a lot of interests in Really and Action. I think that SKT should've waited for someone like Action, because he would've suited SKT much better than Kwanro >.<

Well eSTRO have been the worst team (bar ACE, but they aren't a full-time team anyway) for years, with some of their players only occasionally showing sparks of brilliance. Them disbanding have been long overdue considering their results.

The chance of Estro being purchased is pretty damn low. I think we can agree on that.

eSTRO players should just go play sc2 tournaments and make money that way, better than living off their peanut salary.

for about a year i've had a fantasy of boxer taking over estro and turning it around to be a number one team, i don't think that idea would be too popular here though.

estro is pretty much no more right? There CS team went to wemade and now there SC team is disbanded

This is so damn depressing, eStro, even just on the merit of being foreigner friendly, is a team I wholeheartedly support and It'd be the saddest event since the match fixing scandal was revealed. :|

I don't think eStro is as unattractive a purchase as most would make it out to be. I may be looking too far into it but sponsorship in eSports is not about monetary returns but rather about exsposure and getting good PR. If some company were to fly in and come to eStro's rescue, not only does it save eStro but it also inspires confidence in the progression of BW eSports. This will make all BW fans regardless of team affiliation super happy and supportive of "mystery company" and will thus be good investment.

Well thats my take on things at least.

Sigh... not surprised at all. First, eSTRO's Counter-Strike 1.6 team going to WeMadeFOX and then the match fixing scandal with UpMagiC and the accused SangHo. eSTRO is my favorite team because of players like UpMagiC, Action, Sea. Really, SangHo, etc. It sucks for the rest of the players. Where is Hwanni btw? He hasn't been showing up in Artosis' videos lately.

Moar details:

-IEG gave up the team in the beginning of August to KeSPA, who took over all organization/management/fees.
-In early August, the rent for the dorms/practice rooms was used up, so all the players returned home at that point.
-All of the players' contracts ended in August, and after remaining fees/etc. were sorted out, all the team members are officially no longer part of eSTRO for now
-Because SPL 10-11 is beginning in October, if eSTRO doesnt find a buyer by the end of the month, they're basically going to be disbanded, and all the players can be bought up by other teams.
