I wouldn't be surprised to see someone else pick up Denial. There are likely to be some orgs coming in to sign NA/EU teams over the next two weeks. From what I have heard, HGC starts fairly early next year. | ||

Some thoughts floating around that orgs might not be willing to pay salary since Blizz is paying salary for HGC. . What would even be the point of signing with a team if they don't pay salary? Especially because Blizzard already pays salary. Just some sponsored keyboards or whatever don't seem that worthwile. | ||

Rough translation from a user on reddit: "(1) Hello, I am MVP Rich. As I share this news, I am deeply regretful to disappoint my fans and also the fans of Heroes of the Storm. It took me almost 3 months of deliberation to come to this final decision. (2) Next year, during 2017, I will again take a hiatus from H.O.S and although I am not sure of what I will do instead, I came to this decision in order to minimize bigger regrets in my life for the future. I truly love this game and believe it's a great game. However... (3) I had to do a lot of realistic thinking and as of now, it is difficult for me to say that I will be back in H.O.S for 2018 as well. I will deliberate and try different things during 2017 and I shall return to H.O.S if I decide it to be appropriate. (4) A huge shoutout to MVP team's coaches and directors and the fans of Heroes for taking and appreciating a dude like me. Whatever I do in the future, I will not forget all that I've been taught during 2016 - I have received many lessons and advice that I will need in my life later. (5) And I am extremely grateful for you guys for making me who I am today. People don't easily change, but I believe I've changed for the better and I wish to continue to be a better person. I plan to tweet personal updates from time to time. Thank you all for your support." Translated: On reddit comments from henrax, I only said I'm having a difficult time with the new contract, never the specifics. Not all of it is true" Here are henrax's comments: I've talked a lot with Rich in the past few weeks about his decision to leave the scene so I think I can shed some light. Basically, Rich was really depressed in the past few months and had no fun in his life and in the game. A lot of stress and pressure, a lot of frustration (he told me "my team is always fighting" but I'm not sure if he meant fighting with each other or against the enemy team), and not a lot of money, to the point that he had to choose his personal happiness over his esport success. Right now he went back to LoL (currently diamond 2) to see how it goes. He wanted to play Dota but the only korean sponsor in Dota is MVP and he doesn't want to deal with them anymore. He wants to start a stream on Twitch where he would play LoL, Hots, and whatever he feels like. Obviously I was a bit devastated when he told me all of it but I think despite the language barrier he has become a real friend of mine and I support him in whatever he decides to do. Hots competitive lost a lot of its flavor to me tho. It's sad when the best player in the world doesn't want to play the game competitively anymore. Edit : the part I wrote about MVP contract was NOT TRUE and was a misunderstanding. I don't know any of the specifics of the contract he was offered. I'm really sorry to have spread false information, this was never my intention. | ||

Chu8 has chosen to leave the team. As a result, Chu8 has been disqualified from the HGC for the remainder of 2017 and will not be playing with Team 8 in the first phase of HGC. Prismaticism will join the remaining members of Team 8. Chu8's comments: There is no juicy drama here, boys. But here's what happened in a nutshell. I made sure to let everyone know that I want this team to take more of a casual approach to the tournament. However, when we did qualify and things got more serious, we could not agree on the level of commitment we want to make as a team, mostly because of me wanting to focus on my stream. Since some members of the team strongly expressed their pursuit for HGC, it was clear to me there are more complications here than I expected. I coulda been a douche and just rake in the $$ while forcing a bad practice schedule and toxic team environment, but that's not me. This is best decision for all. Good luck to the team going forward.
