Today, WeMade Entertainment announced that they will no longer be operating their progaming team, FOX, at August 31st.
WeMade expanded into e-Sports in 2007, when they had expanded their operations as they added other operations. However, at the end of last year, the company had decided to concentrate on their original goal of developing games.
While they had tried to find solutions, including the possible sale of the team, but as selling the team had become difficult, they had to make the difficult decision of ceasing operation of the WeMade Fox Progaming Team.
This decision applies to all the teams operated by WeMade, not just BW, but SC2/WC3 also.
Addendum: DES reports that the WeMade has asked KeSPA to manage the Brood War team. This means either find a new sponsor for the team, or to do what they had done with ESTRO last year -- meaning, have them be drafted into other teams through a bidding war.
Addendum 2: DES further reports that it is still not clear where Lyn, Moon, and Soccer would go, and WeMade will be meeting with them on the 23rd to discuss their future plans.

what will happen to the BW players plus the WC3?
|
Is this just BW or SC2 as well?
|
 I guess there will be a draft for some of the players and others will go to SC2?
|
Sigh ... more sad news ... I guess the Proleague viewers number cheers me up but this sucks ...
|
So, they're not making money with eSports. Thats not new.
|

|
Sad to see this happen. I wonder what this means for F. United? No more foreigners in GSTL? >_< Oh well, all good things come to an end...
|

The wemade coach always looked so sad at F. United games now we know why >.<
|
Sad news, always liked Fox.
Does this disbandment include their other gaming teams like CS?
|
>_<
Vehemently hoping that a company would pick up the team.
|
This is terrible. I guess all the Fox players can go to F.United and play SC2. This really sucks for BW though.
