Guess I should mention the disagreements were with management/etc, not with each other.
Where does this put you with regards to your situation in Korea? Is that up in the air, or will you have to return to the states? Now that you are teamless, do you have any plans for joining another team, or is it too soon to tell? I've been a really big fan of both you and GosuGamers, so I'm sorry things didn't work out. Best of luck.
I don't want to return to America, I want to stay in Korea, for good lol, it's why I'm trying to learn the language and hopefully will be able to take classes in the future.
As far as my "team" situation, I would only entertain ideas of teams(foreign) that have a korean vision and serious players, otherwise I'll wait until I can try to get into a korean team. A lot of people mentioned col for some reason regarding me, but I don't believe in their "korean vision" out-side of the partnership with MVP, drewbie left korea really fast for personal reasons, and qxc (who is a really good guy/player) left fxo because he doesn't want to prioritize his progaming (understandable) but these reasons alone basically solidify that the team seems to not be serious enough, at least not in my eyes, of what a team needs to in order to succeed in Korea. It's why I only recruited/wanted Koreans on the GG.net team ~~;
I'll continue to grind hard and study like never before now too since now I don't have a "safety-net" to fall back on anymore, being out here in korea and all :D!
Can you give a bit more story to what you're doing in Korea, where you are from, what you're challenges have been, how the other teams like EG, TL and FXO are establishing in Korea/your status with them, your training regimen etc. It seems not alot of people even knew GG had a team, so maybe if you share a bit about yourself, you can raise your profile a bit to get the attention of the big boys?
Oh my god... wow... when I first read it I thought it was about ItsGosu, but GG was a great team although it was evident they would die out unfortunately. RIP!
I hope lastshadow can find a new team, the foreign scene needs more people like him! it's those kind of people who made the korean scene big in the first place!
Basically this is just proving that teams with no real practice schedules that are synced up and that operate pretty much as atonomous players tend to fail in long run as seen with GG and Six.Jax (now check.six i believe). I just don't see how the facts don't point to such clans being non-viable at the highest levels of play. I know in other sports it works, but in a game like starcraft it doesn't seem to be working well. EDIT: last shadow maybe one of my favorite players after seeing that vid, he actually talked and is as white and nerdy as i thought <3333. That guy just won himself +1 loyal fan points.

they not archieved anythings but i think it was a big problem from start the players was not S class (just some GOOD but no one went fulltime pro really) but the biggest problem was for me the managment, sure marcoon might be good but comparing what you heared there and about like TL etc other teams, it was always to quiet about GG, never mentioned no results in any tournaments nothing ...
Anyone's thoughts? Not often a team has failed in SC2, least that I can remember
Lazarus Gaming disbanded, thats one.
ROOT also disbanded, granted a lot of the players went to complexity.
Praetoriani also disbanded, didn't they?
Yeah but that was because they lost their two players in a matter of like a week (first NightEnD to Fnatic and then ThorZaIN to mouz). They had like a few other players, but none of them were any good.
