Taeja, CoCa, Byun, Puzzle, Genius, Hack, Illusion (IceCream), cOre, Life, TREME, and more that aren't even in Liquipedia.
Hard time is people keep leaving the team. It's pretty obvious it's because they have no major sponsors (or any I think), however i don't claim to know their finances, this is just one of those common sense things however.

it's a bit of a shame to see this. it's obvious ZeNEX is unsure how to go about things from the business perspective. hopefully they reach out to some western esports organization and get some contacts and insight into the industry.
the only way the community can help is if you let potential sponsors know you care about the team and would buy their shit if they sponsored. idk how you can do that get ZeNEX trending on twitter or some other new media bullshit.

haha yeah screw this new media stuff - let's get them an ad in the times or something

Don't see this attempt working out for ZeNex... goes to show how the korean starcraft 2 industry will not have the success it had off bw. Too much dependance on foreigner viewers, foreign sponsors, and foreign teams. Anyone know what kind of numbers does Gom hit within Korea?

i think the problem stems from back when no korean team had funding, all the gsl wins (aka 90% of the cash) went to 2 teams, those players were willing to use their winnings to support their teams, but those teams with just up and commers or 'code a monsters' back when getting knocked out of code s was impossible got screwed over.
im not going back on my previous post saying korean teams could of worked harder to secure funding, im just pointing out to people who perhaps havent considered it, that for 6 months of last year 2 teams won 90% of the money.
|
hope they get some funding, talented team they are
|
I think this is a good decision, to support a struggling but promising Korean team that created a lot of sick players over the last coupla months. This may be a chance for a big sponsor or sponsoring organisation to get involved in the coveted Korean SC2 proscene and sort of follow in the footsteps of FXO.

ZenexLife is going strong right now in the ironsquid qualifier! I hope he qualifies, so that zenex gets some more spotlight ;D
|
^Definitely; feel bad for Zenex cause they definitely have some good players. Gogo life! Such a good up and coming zerg =)
|
zenex life one set away from winning 500 bucks and a paid trip to the ironsquid tournament!
|
ZeNEXLife bringing honor to home!
he won IronSquid qualifiers!
|
|
would love to see some sort of partnership happen to help zenex but all i really see out of this is other teams sniping what ever zenex has left.
|
Good luck!
|
I think a partnership with a team like check six or vile would help them both.
|
good luck zenex! so close to winning in the gsl..
|
I wonder which team Life and Extreme will join =/ I hope none... go ZeNeX, fight and stay alive.
|
People really think this thread should be closed? This shouldn't even be up for debate. Zenex is one of the teams keeping esports going in Korea, sorry if you and your two friends couldn't get a team recruitment thread in SC2 general.
|
I hope this will work out good for them.
