This is the first time I've heard of smartphones and social networking killing ESPORTS.

So they're not adding new players but won't officially disband for another 2 years? Kind of sucks for players entering soon. (NaDa, July)

Judging by the way it looks, Team 8 might be the next on list as no sponsors are willing to come forward. And the only that did, wanted the league to contain BW games.


I wouldn't be able to handle that T_T.

I guess we'll never see TBLS on ACE now...

Oh my....they're just not transitioning?

And because of smartphones and social networking? o_o


I don't understand why smartphones and social networking would be the decline of any true gameing on PC or console. Does not make sense to me.


Because PC bangs are a big social thing in korea afaik. Or maybe they're just trying to be polite instead of saying they dont want to play sc2.


No I think its because people are becoming lazier and with phone technology increasing, more advanced games are able to be played on the phone, hence less need to go to pc bangs to play on the computers etc....

Wow, this is huge. I've always thought of Ace as one of the huge things that showed Korea as a nation's love for esports. Quite sad to see them disbanding, but time are changing, afterall.

They didn't state a reason as to why they weren't switching. I honestly wonder why...

Let me explain the matter with smartphones and SNS. There has been numerous articles about this recently in Korea.

Back in 90's and 2000's the trend was to enjoy gaming together. Together I mean as going to PC bang and play with friends side by side. My generation is the generation that went to arcade and played console together with friends.

The trend now is much more individual. Now every person has their own PC and smartphones. Because of internet and various appliances, one can be connected with others without actually physically being together.

The trend is also clear in PCbangs, which originally started out as a place to play game 'together' with others. In my days we went to Pcbang after school and played team game of BW or Counter Strike, etc. Now the game is more diverse. You see more and more people who come alone and play game of their own taste. Because of better technology more people play game at their home. It is no longer a neccesity to play and enjoy same game as others as you can still be part of the 'gang' and feel you belong somewhere through SNS and smartphone. Gaming is no longer considered group activity but rather an individual hobby.

Will people still go to PC bang and play games with friends? Sure, but they can also stay home and meet them on internet. Will people still go to gaming event to watch pro gamers play? Sure, but they can also stay home and watch on internet, while chatting with friends. Enjoying game as being part of physical group is no longer the big thing.

This is the reason why people(or so these articles claim) that while eSports will definitely grow it will be difficult to see a single game dominating entire population and creating the phenomenon BW did. The scene needs to evolve to meet the demand of viewers that are becoming more and more diverse. One can no longer make huge investment in single game and expect great success as easily as before.
Workload overwhelming. It is a good day to work

I never liked ACE cause I hate the military, but yeah, it's a shame, it's not like the players had a choice not to go the military in Korea
