This is the worst. I can't believe. I hope for the best for people directly involved, right now I can't bear to follow BW, the news is just so sad.

I feel like crying myself. It's that shattering to hear this news.

I hope for the best for Jaedong and the rest of Oz. So much talent in that team.

Can you guys imagine Effort and Jaedong and Hydra on the same team? ZvZ has no more BO wins, just CJ wins.

I couldn't believe it until now

I reiterate my call, maybe our dear MightyAtom can convince one of his wealthy relations to sponsor a BW team :

I'm still surprised that amongst the thousands of BW fans in Korea, there aren't some millionaires who would put a few millions to sponsor a BW team just for fun.

Just like Russian billionaires have their own football clubs.

Man if I were rich that would be the first thing I would do.

I feel like my heart is being shit in right now TT, Even though its only been 4 years, BW has been such a big part of my life, I'm struggling to see a future now.

Wow, this is terrible, it's tough to see teams disbanding left and right after all those years. I hope they'll resolve this for the player's sake, new team seems like the best solution to me.

Or maybe Jaedong to T1?

Whaaat? How could a team that has Jaedong disband? Even if their performance hasn't been outstanding, I never for a moment suspected that Oz would be the team to disband given that their history and popularity (thought it was going to be STX or Woongjin). While the idea of seeing JD in a different team sounds appealing, it's not what the BW scene needs right now. What it needs is some sponsors for the three disbanding teams (although with the way the whole scene is crumbling, I'm not very hopeful) or I don't see BW lasting even for one more season.

I was eating my ice and calmly going through my twitter.

Then I see Milkis' twitter.

I stopped chewing. Came here. Almost cried.

I can't really see anyone picking up Jeadong.

Thing is, he's expensive. KT has Flash, who's a money sucking machine, so I doubt KT can afford him at the moment, T1 has Bisu, Fantasy and oov, who are probably on a very sweet payroll as well(not as sweet as FxJ, but combined it's a hefty price). And I don't see anyone else being able to shell out the dope for the ex-OZ star. Samsung? Maybe, but I doubt with every other team dropping left and right that the sponsors will be willing to invest in him. As for the image - those who can afford him already have a superstar of their own.

And with BW eSport scene taking hit after hit, I can't see a lucrative environment for investors.

I have realized that our only hope lies on our chinese overlords. It would be awesome if a chinese sponsor picked up a team. They have the money, and they could help to develop BW in another country.
