I know about this for some time now, but wasn`t allowed to tell anyone. Money is tight and so they had to fire the Teamorga WMF.Paul some month ago and at that point it already was unsure if the esports division would survive. Sadly it didn`t work out.

Where might the players end?

Ugh, my heart just sank hard after reading this news. Quite depressing, especially after hearing about how well the Proleague finals did on TV. Coupled with the troubles over at MBCGame, the recent news about the Korean BW scene is depressing, especially considering how many great players and fans the scene has. Although I believe that it will take many more disasters over many more years to fully demolish the Korean BW scene, n like this is always sad.

However, I'm highly interested to see where the players will go after the disbanding. F. United will probably operate until they're done with GSTL, as they always seemed to be a short-term, scrappy coalition of foreigners and WC3 hybrids. I expect most of their BW players to be drafted onto other BW teams, similar to what happened with Estro's players. There is a likely possibility that a few may switch to SC2, but it'll take some time for them to acclimate themselves before making an impact in competitions.

Alas, it is sad to see the team of Nada, Moon, and BaBy finally close its doors. I wonder what will happen to their very nice team house, as it would be a shame if it were to also shut its doors for good.

By the way, this means that Pantech-Ex is no more.

Also, BaBy, herO[jOin], Major, Midas, Mind, Pure, RorO, Shine, and Wooki all without teams. D:

Thats not really a problem. The ones that don't want to retire/transition will surely get offers. Its more about being down to 9 teams now from 12 2 years ago.

Really sad

WeMade had great teams in a great environment...too bad they succumbed.

I want Midas/Baby and ZerO in Oz somehow though. A solid ZvPer would be awesome and those Ts will make sure nobody ever loses in the early/midgame ever again in Oz lols.

NOOOOOOO!!! I've spent years supporting them despite their mediocre performances in Proleague. When Mind won the MSL over Bisu, I felt such a sense of accomplishment and have felt the same hope for players like Shine, Pure, Roro, and Baby. Such a shame that they have to disband now :o(.

It just feels like the teams are going to start disbanding one after the other... there's been only a couple so far, or was there another besides Fox and eSTRO? I hope this doesn't become a trend.
