I would say that TheSTC, Illusion, SaSe, and Golden are contenders for some of the smaller titles. Sure none of them is going to win a gsl, but they have gotten pretty far in mid level tournaments in the past.

I thought Naniwa left for personal reasons, his new sponsor is just travel and expenses no salary so even a low salary from Quantic would have been better.

A simple bankruptcy. Still makes me sad, was my favourite team

I think Illusion is probably the most sought after out of the rest of the roster. He is a good NA Terran with korea training experience, plus he is really young, cant really think of any other players beside qxc and major, who is also teamless, that are good NA terrans.

That would be really great, the foreigner division of TL needs another spark after the two retirements and Ret not doing as well as he used to.

What if Sase or Illusion get picked up by EG Liquid? There could be a chance, seeing as they're both in Korea at the moment.

Teams can't market tho good players. People with the little money they spend on watching free stuff will want to spend it on champions! :D

wasn't quantic in some trouble before the merger with Vile? The two Google employees kinda saved the day there it seemed. Sad news for sure. Hope the players find new teams soon.

I feel especially bad for theStc. This sucks for all involved
|
They just picked up a LoL team only a couple of weeks ago as well! Sad...

With TLEG needing players in Korea....I think EG.SaSe is a real possibility.

I didn't know TL had a "foreigner division".

Sad and somewhat unexpected. We have too many teams. Partnerships are good, but I think if we could mix korean talent with foreign capital (teams with sponsors etc) then we could get some more stable things going.

Sase just needs to do that thing where he's the highest placing foreigner at an MLG again, he got a tonnnn of attention at MLG Anaheim this year.

this is extremely surprising news, and not very good news
|
wow i was not expecting this at all
...sase.... :'(

Their roster was properly expansive in SC2, hoping the best for the seemingly free agents. I would be willing to bet STC will have a team within the month. Can't help but wonder if Vile might make a comeback ala Root with this news.
|
Who are Quantic's biggest sponsors? Did a sponsorship deal fall through or something?? It seems like some kind of major funding dried up or why would they close down everything...?
