I don't know that about sixjax SC2 team, but the manner in which they handled the disbandment of their World of Warcraft section lead me to believe that their management isn't the most competent in e-sports. In any case, good luck to their former players.

Hard to see this happen and there's lots of lessons and take-aways from this.

I believe that there really needs to be some kind of goal or objective when a team is formed...is money the goal through sponsorships...or whatever the goal may be.

From an outsider's perspective looking in, it just seems as if there were no specific processes put together or any template followed, eg. similar principles when forming a company, applied towards building and forming a team.

I mean the idea of a bunch of friends just coming together, saying "hey let's form a team and get some sponsors to back us" sounds incredibly exciting don't get me wrong. It's when it turns into "work" when things turn sour and let's be honest, sometimes your best friends aren't the greatest employees.

So I don't know, perhaps it was management, perhaps it was specific players, but in the end I think it's a combination of things that snowballed.

I am skeptical that this team could have ended any other way, even with Artosis support and some solid players, they just never quite got their footing as a pro team. Certainly though, it is a shame to see any known team disband. Best of luck to all the players, I'm sure most of them will find another home.

i came to this realization a month or two ago, and left quantic gaming.

there are so many NA teams that like to call themselves "pro teams" but are really just messing around with sponsors money.
its all good and well if you want to form a team for fun and try to compete in a casual way
but when sponsors are involved its really a waste of time/money for everyone. if ur not playing 8+ hours and practicing with good people, u have 0 chance of succeeding. its seems like alot of NA players still haven't come this conclusion yet.

its comical to see semi pro teams spending money to send players to MLG's, when there players aren't really practicing seriously. seems to me they think somehow, someway there players will overcome impossible odds and manage to do well. its so unrealistic.

so many NA players consider themselves "pro" when most couldnt stand a chance against true committed pro players. but thats a another rant for another thread

So many people sympathizing for Artosis. What exactly did he do for Sixjack? Make a couple of videos? Did he actually spend anytime coaching?

It always looked like a lame publicity stunt when he was hired. It may not be Artosis' fault but i hope that the players like DDE come out of this better off.
