Confirmation that oGs disbanded (in Korean)

More news on TIG: article 1, article 2

1) eStars Holdings, which sponsored oGs until now, dropped sponsorship at the beginning of May. They will be concentrating on LoL, sponsoring Xenics Storm.

2) All contracts with players, including TheWind, are canceled. TheWind and players are planning to rebuild the team together. It is unclear who will be willing to stay on. They are also planning to change the name.

3) All members of e-Sports Federation decided not to sign oGs players for certain period of time (unclear as to how long).

(Note: Members of e-Sports Federation are Startale, IM, Prime, MVP, oGs, NSHoseo, FXO, TSL and ZeNEX)



Rumor of oGs disbanding has surfaced on a Korean esports news website.

http://esports.gamechosun.co.kr/board/view.php?bid=sc2e&num=42685

They don't allow foreign IP access, but a kind soul in PlayXP was able to give me a copy of the article.

+ Show Spoiler +
스타크래프트2 명문 프로게임단 oGs와 관련 최근 해체할 수도 있다는 소문이 돌고 있어 충격을 주고 있다. 스타2 복수 관계자에 확인한 결과 이 해체설은 설득력을 얻고 있으며 일부 유저들에게도 퍼지고 있는 것으로 알려졌다.

이와 별도로 취재 결과 oGs는 최근 팀 운영의 어려움을 겪고 있었던 것으로 밝혀졌다. 운영 주체인 e스타즈 홀딩스에서 운영에 난색을 표했고 황규훈 단장을 비롯한 선수단의 매수 기업을 찾았다. 하지만 매수 기업이 나타나지 않았고, 이에 해체 수순을 밟는 것이 아니냐는 전망이다. 이와 관련해 문의하자 황규훈 단장은 "아직 확정된 것은 없다"는 짧은 답변만을 전해왔다.

oGs의 해체설이 구체적으로 드러난 상황인 만큼 e스포츠 팬들에겐 큰 충격이 아닐 수 없다. oGs는 스타2 베타 시절 창단돼 장민철, 김정훈, 김영진 등을 스타 플레이어로 성장시켰다. 그러나 최근 장민철, 이윤열, 송현덕, 최정민 등 팀의 주축 선수들이 해외팀으로 빠져나가며 전력이 크게 하락했다는 평을 받아왔다.

업계 소식에 정통한 한 관계자는 "최근 oGs와 관련 안 좋은 소문이 돌기는 했지만 좋은 쪽으로 해결이 날 것으로 기대한다"고 말했다.


Summary of the article


-Rumours of possibility of oGs disbanding is spreading, cause a stir in the scene.
-Multiple inside sources support this rumour.

-Additional investigating shows that oGs has indeed been having difficulties such as running the team(making ends meet) .
-Hang gyu hoon, owner of oGs, looked for companies to buy the team at 'E stars holdings' but was unsuccessful.
-Hang gyu hoon only commented "Nothing has been confirmed yet" at inquires.
-other random points such as oGs roster being thin these days.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



They use to be arguably the best team during early periods..

I can't believe this.. and I really hope this stops at rumor

I wouldn't be too surprised. The SC2 teams lack sponsors.

Not too shocking for me if this happens. For a while now I have been wondering which team out of the current big teams will be the first to disband and lately I was thinking that oGs looked a little vulnerable.

Still sad news nonetheless.

It's sad but with a fair bit of their star power now over on other teams it feels as if the team "served it's purpose". It started out as a group of SC1 migrants and we saw them develop and make a name for themself but now it feels oGs doesn't mean what it used to. One of my favourite teams and they're still good but I wouldn't be surprised if we see them divide into other teams (SuperNova for sure, if oGs disbands).

edit: and they're actually a pretty big team with 19 players I'm sure that isn't cheap.

There is no money in Korea for SCII (yet).
A lot of their star players left so they don't get income from foreign tournaments.

So simply said, they have 0 money, lost all their good players, and don't really have any up and coming players.
Yeh disbanding doesn't sound all that bad.
