Daezang wanted to go into commentating. Ganzi wanted to go do his military service. Special wanted to further his education. MVP said it was too hard for him to be a progamer. Guemchi said he was tired being a progamer and wanted to go on a vacation. And as you know Kwanro went to SKT1 Source: http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/view.daily?idx=32721&page=1  sorry if repost | ||

also Daezang is supposed to commentate GSL or something anyway it looked more from Woongjin's side judging by the article, they just allowed their players to leave whoever didn't have the passion for the game anymore. | ||

Nothing - they don't get to play in tournaments and they don't get paid much. Crazy stuff. | ||

They haven't lost anyone that they were actually sending out, unless you count the trade of Kwanro as a loss. The team you see on TV is basically the same at this point. People who had other aspirations decided to make their exit, that's all. | ||

You know, even in good times, teams have rough patches. Internal problems happen. What we're seeing now, is some of those problems exacerbated by other circumstances- the uncertainty around the korean BW scene as a whole, progamers leaving for SC2, etc. As has been mentioned before, we're getting a flurry of bad news for the BW scene because Fomos chose to release them all at the same time (which means they'd been holding out on releasing them, which in turn means they're not very transparent about what goes on behind the scenes). The conclusions I can draw from this flurry of activity are: a) Some teams had internal problems. This is to be expected, really; they just waited for the postseason to resolve these problems. b) Many players are leaving BW. This is slightly more worrying for the BW scene; you mostly just see the players on the booth, but it takes more than just them to keep the scene running. Does the BW scene have the capacity to "restock" on good players as fast as they're losing them, or will team rosters keep on thinning out? The rate BW is losing players is something to keep an eye on. c) eSTRO's sponsor has had enough with BW. Can eSTRO, the proleague and the starleagues find new sponsors? There is no strong reason to think they won't get new sponsors- yet. But it is also something to keep an eye on. Those are the bigger problems the BW scene is facing internally right now. Then there's also the external problems they're facing- their negotiations with Gretech. | ||

You are seeding the idea of BW dying into the heads of countless BW fans like me and make them feel frustrated. The matter is simple, some recent event is bad, but it does 0.0001 damage to BW and BW will not die to anything. BW has government support, BW has military support, BW has corporate support, BW has public support.... it is immortal, it just cannot die. STOP shouting "BW dying" bullshit if you love BW, or else you are damaging its public support. Imagine that you have a very healthy son, and every single hours a random guy pop up and say "your son is dying", after a week you will start questioning the health state of your son. So yeah, be optimistic and believe in BW ! It still has like 10000000 HP and 9999 mana with full gear, It cannot die or be killed. Cheers !!! | ||

He has two choices: * Stay Pro and be a well respected PR icon, but a benchwarmer. * Go "amateur" on his own, and play. Its pretty obvious NaDa wants to play, but he won't be able to as a BW pro. If he has enough savings, his salary doesn't mean much in the short/mid term. NaDa's moving to SC2 is more the result of BW evolving beyond NaDa's times. He lasted a lot longer than Boxer, Oov, Nal_Ra and Savior, but time and skill level finally caught up with him. | ||

Comparatively, we lost way more noteworthy players to the match-fixing scandal. Even with July and Nada (and I guess potentially BoxeR) switching over its not necessarily bad for BW at all. How often do those guys play anymore, NEVER, and they know it. They know their skills aren't up to par anymore, and the only reason they're still contracted is for their NAME-VALUE. These guys are competitors, they don't wanna sit around doing nothing. They want to compete and show their fans great games. They can no longer do that in BW so whats the problem with moving to SC2? In the end of the day, the $$$$ is still in BW. Yeah, the GSL prize pool is impressive, but how many people are going to be able to attain that? Not many, and the disbursement is very top heavy. BW pros are still receiving salary, food, lodging, and practice facilities. The two games can co-exist. If you still care about BW you should be supporting it even more, instead of overreacting and freaking out. | ||

No reason to be fatalistic about it though. There's been a lot of stories of this kind lately, but when the best known player to leave is Guemchi, it doesn't seem like a terrible loss. Plus, this is the off-season. I imagine there are a lot of retirements and changeovers in an ordinary off-season, but we don't hang as much importance on them usually. Things aren't looking great, but it looks like the main players involved aren't really deterred—from our perspective, at least. The worst thing thus far is the news about eSTRO, but that isn't unprecedented either. The Stars were just as close to disbanding a couple of years ago, but they found a new sponsor. | ||

I never expected the end to come around so quickly. Times change and we just need to deal with the future but I thought BW would cool off slowly and pass away. It's not like I've been part of the community and progaming following for very long but it still hurts me. I know deep down that the sequel will never replace it. Maybe some passion of SC2 will grow in me as the scene takes shape with an evolving metagame, teams forming, maps being released, and all that stuff. I kinda hope it does but my outlook isn't very positive. | ||

All teams are still alive and have a coach (eStro could be either disbanded or sold, no one knows yet). 99% of A-Teamers are still there, having a good off-season time and planning to practice hard for the next one. Lots of B-Teamers are still there and Courage still attracts as many players as ever (GTR's post somewhere). I'm not saying BW is doing great, tbh this is easily the most depressing offseason that's ever happened. But until either fans stop showing up at events, or Proleague/OSL/MSL are actually announced to be terminated (which would be highly likely to be related to Gretech's demands), it won't be "the end" by any means. | ||

these players left because they weren't interested in playing for BW anymore, which would have come sooner or later, given their performances and/or exposure in proleague and individual leagues. It just accelerated things up for them, which means they can try to settle back into their former "normal" life quicker (which is better, obviously). not because Blizzard or KeSPA pointed a gun at their heads and forced them to retire. | ||

MVP said it was too hard for him to be a progamer. Right, that's why he just joined an SC2 team. :/ http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=157293 | ||

I mean, ending your career to dabble in other pursuits is one thing, but switching to SC2 while saying "I'm tired of being a progamer" to Stars fans feels like a slap in the face. Then again, he wasn't too good, and the main line-up is still there, so I guess it could be a lot worse. It just means that being an SC2 progamer is easy when he is a Korean raping nub foreigners. | ||

I agree that to the bw fan, it feels like he's scabbing, but if you look at it from his perspective, its not a bad decision. He was never a star in bw, he was a decent player by korean standards (was getting better) but not an S-class or anything, and this is his chance to potentially shine and stand out on his own. He's also the first 'active' A-teamer to announce he's switching over. | ||

As far as I'm concerned the only thing a progamer owes to his fans is to try his best while he's on the team. MVP has a much, much better chance of achieving something noteworthy in SC2 than BW and probably with less effort too. He could have just come out and said, hey I'm switching to SC2 but I don't think the reason he gave makes any difference. | ||
