I'd be sad for Really if it ends up being Estro. He looks very depressed already (only second to Canata), and having his career put on hold would make him feel worse. | ||

And which team was it that had to be supported by Kespa for awhile between sponsors? For some reason I had an impression that it was Estro, but now I'm not so sure about things. | ||

estro has been horrible forever, but their involvement in the scandal might have been the straw that broke the camel´s back. (is this correct? because this proverb is completely different in german XD") in particular as the company backing them up is rather small and the team has no real starpower and no real future. but the really interesting question to me is who will pick up leta/really. for example, imagine woonjing with a terran of leta´s or really´s caliber.... leta, zero, free, kwanro. ridiculous lineup.... | ||

Although I believe eStro is a possibility, I feel like its a much slimmer possibility. For a long time eStro was the bottom of the pro team hierarchy but recently have shown they are capable and have some great and talented players in: Action, hyvaa, Really, and Classic. Although, it would definitely be interesting to see the likes of Action, hyvaa, Really, and Classic on another team. One thing I would like to suggest as a possibility, just because I think it'd be fucking awesome if it happened, is the pro-team being bought out by an existing pro-team sponsor. In essence merging the two teams, and the first ever StarCraft Pro-Team Merger. For example, what if Woongjin were to just straight up buy-out HITE, keep Leta, PuMa, HoGiL, Horang2, and then they have free, MVP, ZerO, Kwanro, and SoulKey on top of that. Woongjin would then have a Terran, Protoss, AND Zerg line. That'd be pretty bad ass to see. | ||

Which company exactly is sponsoring estro? I tried to look it up, but couldn't find a conclusive result. Branding failure big time. | ||

Holy shit can you imagine how hard any of those teams would dominate and how hard JD would dominate with an all star cast around him. JD+Flash combo makes me drool. Jaedong to KT would turn him into the Zerg fOrGG Jaedong to SKT will turn him into a B Teamer Jaedong to Khan means he will be the only on practicing. | ||

I guess after they showed some promise halfway through the season then ended up failing, it might have been the nail in the coffin... P.S. nice new border :D IEG owns them, and bought them in order to buy broadcast licenses. Their core business is buying broadcast licenses for sports - boxing, soccer, baseball etc etc. They bought the proleague/msl licenses for a large sum of cash and then didn't do anything with them (i suppose there were plans on SC4ALL but well....yea). Theres obviously been zero return on the investment, and with economic climate, they seem like the most logical candidate to drop their team. Hite bought the naming rights to OGN, they don't "own" them so we can scratch that off the list. | ||

Hadn't thought of that at first. I just figured that OGN wouldn't sell since they're a gaming channel, but figured that Hite may want to stop sponsoring. But with CJ looming overhead, it makes even more sense. | ||
