More serious note: Kind of predictable considering how they had such a huge roster, yet barely ever showing results and none were incredibly popular... Sad day for esports. Good luck to the team. Never give up on the dream. This is merely a loose seam. First, Nani left (and on good terms), he wasn't kicked. Second. As all their teams disband, it is more than just the result of one Sc2 player. | ||

He got 2nd and won a chinese event, but I dont really consider them international titles. SaSe a contender but not TheSTC? lol... | ||

I still don't know who the sponsors of Quantic Gaming were. The only teams I know the sponsors of are Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid among foreign teams. I know StarTale and LG-IM's main sponsors too. It's no wonder that sponsors are realizing their SC2 teams aren't worth the money when their players can't be bothered to remember to say 3 words at the end of every interview. | ||

You need to have players who people care enough about to listen when they give an interview first. | ||

To be honest: I don't even think sponsors looked at tournament results. They more look at esports as a whole and decided it wasn't worth their money. And that is bad news for esports. (Sponsors knew the roster before they invested, they knew these players wouldn't go on a tournament winning spree - so winning was never the big point for them) I think it is because the real buying decision is made upon reading tests or by the price of the product, but not if the company is in esports. Companys acknowledge that. Basically it's our fault  | ||

I, myself, was thrown off by the first Tweet linked in the OP from col_lake. And when I went to go Googling for Quantic's sponsors, I actually typed in "Complexity gaming jersey" and was super confused as to why I couldn't find the bright red Quantic jersey. Case in point: I had confused Complexity and Quantic in my mind. And I couldn't even remember who their sponsors were. If fans don't even know who the sponsors are, you KNOW that you have a huge, potentially and imminently catastrophic business problem. For teams like TL and EG, they're doing their marketing well, but even then it's hard to make sure fans are attached to the brand names of their sponsors. TL - The Little App factory (probably only iOS apps?), Razer, and now Twitch EG - Steelseries, Intel Extreme boards, Monster, Raid Call (title sponsor), Sapphire, and that's about as far as my memory goes. And I've watched COUNTLESS EG interviews  | ||

They had some good people. Golden, Spanishiwa, TheStC. Really sad. Ah well, hopefully a new team picks them up. | ||

I hope you know FXO's main sponsor too. But yeah, I don't know any except the ones you mentioned + Fnatic. | ||
