Why the hell would they close all these teams ;_; It's an anomaly I think. When BW is REALLY in trouble, you'll need to at least see ACE disband since they have literally nothing to lose (worst team, all players can easily be given other jobs within the military so no guilt over what to do with players). Someone is gonna see those PL ratings and want to sponsor I think. We are in okay shape, don't give up hope guys  Your nat was busted, but you've got 3 bases vs 3 bases and you're the superior player... Just keep going and don't throw the game away | ||

Why the hell would they close all these teams ;_; I think it is fairly understandable, the teams that are disbanding generally haven't done very well recently and there sponsor doesn't get much exposure due to their poor performance. If you think about the SPL finals, it's been SKT vs KT 2 finals in a row, while the TV ratings are great for SKT, KT, OGN (and MBC if they weren't going to back out of the industry like pussies :p) the other teams don't really get much from the finals themselves, and don't look like they will stand to gain much from it anytime in the foreseeable future. While OZ surely does get some good exposure purely from the Jaedong factor, for teams like MBC and Wemade with their not-quite-top-level-ace and mediocre in general team I can see how they might feel that the sponsorship is not really worth it anymore. Still, it's sad to see teams disband, but perhaps going forward if a single stronger team is formed from the 3 teams in Kespa management, it might well be the best thing that could happen in terms of providing stability to the remaining teams. | ||

Maybe people should of pulled a Tasteless and asked the fans to Tweet at the sponsors so they know all the support they are getting? I doubt Pepsi will be dropping GSL as a sponsor for some time now because of that. Wouldn't switching to SC2 reduce the chance of Carpal Tunnel because it is less APM intensive? User was temp banned for this post. I think SCReddit once asked people to do that in response to MBCGame shutting down. Clearly that didn't work. | ||

 This announcement by no means heralds the death of BW (which is still very popular). What it does seem to herald (at least for the moment) is a growing consolidation and monopolization of the scene by the bigger, more popular teams, and a resulting dwindling of the second-tier teams. It seems to be a lot harder than it used to be for sponsors to get into BW, and the return on investment isn't as obvious as it might once have been. But, ultimately, as long as the fans and the players are there, BW will live. And for now, they definitely ARE there. It was the fans and the players, not KESPA or the sponsors, that built ESPORTS, and as long as they remain, BW will endure. Viva Broodwar! Syong Byong Goo FIGHTING! | ||
