This is what happens when there's a massive influx of teams and players into an already saturated market. It simply can't work.

Ace players are in the military. The can't play for any other team and civilians can't join Ace. The influx of players and teams doesn't affect them.

However the rise of smartphones and social network services has caused progaming to decline.


Lol, translation mistake or just high on drugs ?

There goes the dream of having TBLS members in ACE rulling PL....or at least making strides in the playoffs.

Another sad day and another bullet to the chest how much more can it/we take?

Exactly my thoughts. Bisu and Jaedong is same age, Stork slightly older. We could get ultimate team, ACE team.

I am not surprised at all, but its still a sad day. Air Force Ace really was something unique in Esports.
I wonder, if we there will ever be a game again, that is so accepted and huge in one country, that the military allows players to form a team.
How i will miss Broodwar... T_T

After having read the posts, I feel like most tlers have been living under a rock or something. As if nobody saw it coming.
The BW is formally dead already. It was dead from the very moment they announced the hybrid league

The end of BW is the most disgusting testament of money making, mass consumerism and human greed in one uniform incarnation in this gone mad world.

The first icon I ever chose when i joined this site was ACE. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER change it.

i salute all current and former ACE players. Especially Boxer.

I hope they have a ceremony for the ACE team sometime.

May 16th - oGs disbands

July 23rd - Air Force Ace announces plan to disband

The Korean scene is collapsing.

I wouldn't be surprised to see 2-3 more teams disband in the next few months,.

Since korean scene is oversaturated with teams right now its natural that some of them disband especially when the Kespa teams started to play SC2.

It's been dead for years. Once MBCGame turned K-Pop, everything else was only a matter of time.

It's war between GSL and KeSPA. Only one can survive. But since the BW fans are turning away from Proleague in droves, and KeSPA has made zero effort to reach the foreign scene....I guess they've been around too long for me to just write them off, but man. I'd be surprised if more than 4 of the current teams in Proleague were around next year.

It's a testament to pride and incompetence. If KeSPA were doing their jobs properly, SC2 would never have been the slightest threat. If they were really good, they could've smothered SC2 in its infancy and won a bunch more foreign fans by converting them, turning SC2 into an advertisement for BW. There was a LOT KeSPA did wrong over the years. I've been re-reading The Death of WCW (highly recommend it!), and I really wish someone would write a tell-all book about KeSPA. It'd be the first time KeSPA told anyone anything about their plans.


It's too late, now. BW is dead, and all KeSPA switching games is going to do is kill SC2 as well.

let's start with "the younger generation did not see the real games", keeping in mind that the majority of ppl is not a very discerning entity.
That is why K-Pop and other "stuff" which I can't mention again and again without my eye twitching.

ACE were more than just a team, they were BW legacy, and when its gone, there shall be nothing.

No... No. I wanted to see ACE hold the Proleague trophy at least once.

This is a fucking sad day.

That's pretty sad. Starcraft will not be directly related with the government / country of Korea, the way it was. Older progamers will just disappear in the army, instead of joining an active team. Nada will be treated like any other private, instead of the commander and chief he truly is. Sad. Anyway, salute, ACE!

It's still just first world problems. But it's horrible, yeah.
