Its crazy to see this even when Quantic had such great players. It really goes to show the caliber of players at the professional level now.

Damn, what a disappointment, I really was looking forward to some Quantic players making a splash on the scene. Wish the best for the ex-Quantic members, and they find teams soon.

This really shows how fragile and saddening esports can be sometimes. Best of luck to all the players and staff at Quantic.

What a surprise that there was no money for a low tier team (save 3.) team was way too big to fund anyway and not interesting. I suspect this wont be the only team going under.

I can't believe it, what about the people living in the team house?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Look at it from the sponsors perspective. Why would you sponsor Quantic?


There is no reason to sponsor Quantic when you can sponsor a higher / more accomplishing team (being top gm on NA =/= good enough publicitiy)

Same thing? ultimately, the money that supported the team pulled out.

Surprising news. I wonder why the investors pulled out. Not enough ROI or some other reason? Lots more players without a team.

This is exactly the problem with the international sc2 scene right now, the teams are not able to get enough attention for themselves.

All the attention goes to TL, EG and the Korean players' teams who win the events.

wow... so the sponsors pulled the plug unexpectedly it looks like. That's really sad. Quantic always seemed like a well run organization. Lot's of strong players available now like Golden, TheSTC, Illusion, and Sase. They will probably get picked up pretty quickly.

the "pro" gamer scene is waaaaaay over-saturated. that's why things like this happen. there's no money and sponsors for all these wannabe teams and pro-gamers. it's a lot tougher to be a pro then just being a ladder hero. you have to win events and actually draw a return for you investors. you have to have truly competitive players that have enough visibility to gain and promote sponsors.

i expect a similar fate for some other teams. i didn't necessarily think quantic would be one of them but it's no suprise at all to me.

gl to all the ex-quantic members



Yeah you're exactly right. Sponsors jumped on board because they saw how quickly SC2 was rising. They were willing to make an investment into a scene which could give good returns later on. However SC2 has more or less stalled, so companies are moving on to bigger and better things. Big teams like Liquid and EG will always be fine, but plenty of the smaller teams/players/tournament are going to end up dying off.


I would hardly count Quantic as a small team. They are as old as Liquid, although they started from being a BF3 team. They field players in multiple games so it's not only about SC2 too.

This is really too bad, especially since theognis was starting to gain some traction... I can only assume he'll be looked over as a no-name, when he's really, really good. Hopefully he'll get picked up, but I have to say my hopes aren't exactly super high.

Also sucks for theSTC, to finally have gotten on a foreigner team to have it disband so quickly...

Finally, I hope Mark Ferraz is doing ok, as head of Quantic Gaming. Hopefully he'll still be a part of Climbing the Ladder on ChanmanV's show, but... well, I'm not sure.

This news sucks, man.

I must say that's a really good idea.


well he was on the mouz wc3 team for a long time.

I don't know how well mouz is doing financially though. I expected them to get new players ever since Thorzain left and the only new player is protosser, who isn't a top player by any means.

I think it's kind of humorous in hindsight, that the boss of Quantic was saying after they ended their relationship with IM, that IM was a great team but they didn't understand the business side very well. :p

Wait, they just decided to pull funding, like that? All of a sudden? Or did a contract expire or something?

Either way, terrible news
