Totally expected this, I personally never liked this team. In my eyes they seemed like a gimmick team, they had a cute girl in diamond, a funny streamer, 2 casters who dont cast much, then suppy and sleep.

I was following PainUser and Suppy for a while and it is kinda sad to see this happen. Big or small it is sad when something had to close after putting a lot of time and effort into it.

as SC2 goes longer and longer only the self-sustaining teams will remain!
My guess Its Gosu could be next!

Sometimes I ask myself what's the real point of teams in SC2, besides managing players and getting sponsors.

It's not like SC2 is a team sport, and at least some people do enjoy and value regular tournaments/leagues over team based things. Part of this can be seen in the quick switching of players and the (more often tan not) short lifespan of teams.

Something is lacking in the whole "team" story...

I wish SC2 had a very prestigious teamleague (like the WC3L). It makes teams more important for the fans and gives oppurtunities for the non-stars in the roster. But with teams all over the world and the focus on solo tournaments nothing like this will happen ever happen I feel :|. You either get replay casts, walkovers/scheduling or lag problems.

Whatever happened to ThisIsJimmy? He was holding it down alone for Xsix for a long time.

You barely even know their players. Checksix was a good team that was always competitive in the ESEA and qualified for IPL TAC in the first qualifier.

Not having Suppy under contract seems like a misstep from team management to me, then again I don't know shit about how teams work when it comes to things like that. Best of luck to everybody on the roster and on the management team, hope people land on their feet.

Well the team wasn't really making waves with success, I am sure that lead to trouble in getting finacial support.

checksix was always sorta ameteurish when it started back in cs. i was honestly surprised to find out they were still around when i got into sc2....cant say this is surprising, but at least their better players found new homes.

These semi pro teams dying in NA is starting to become a real worry imo, people might say that they are not surprised or that it doesn't matter because they were such a small team but the NA scene is becoming badly top heavy with basically only EG, Complexity and Liquid as serious professional teams. Not sure how much people understand about architecture but it applies to anything you build. If you don't have a solid foundation to support the top it will collapse on itself and I am worried that might happen to the sc2 scene in NA or even the esports scene in general in NA.

Luckily there is ROOT, ROOT reforming is the single greatest beacon of hope for the NA scene right now, however it still remains to be scene if the can survive and if other teams can get the same chance. Also ROOT can't carry the NA scene by itself and there is also a risk that ROOT will join EG, Liquid and Complexity as a big dog and then it will free fall.
