Is there some other source for this other than Twitter? There's nothing anywhere about this and I thought it would be big news :o

This is like the first leaks on Twitter. I think we will here a full story, either by Quantic guys themselves or by Slasher sooner or later.

Its a shame, but without a big star to really put there name out there i can see why some sponsors would pull out

Good luck to all the players, they have some DAMN good players who i can see being stars on the right team

Quantic was a bad team, I'm surprised they lasted this long.

I wish GL to all their players.

By that logic the majority of foreign teams wouldn't have investors...

In that place, e-sports si not just being killed. It is a zombie that is being re-buried under maximal biological containment!

not going on offtopic but tell me a team that have investors (not sponsors) and is doing bad at all games or atlast they get top 3-4 but never winning tournaments . btw sponsors want exposure if you pick up players like the one i quoted upper they will do good for sponsors cuz they streaming . if you have investors they want return of their investing money wich players that dont win tournaments are no good .

I have read through the comments and What The Hell...


Why are people surprised that a company, who mainly hired 18-22 year olds is gone? Sure, it's unfortunate for the e-sports community. But I am really sad that kids, under the age of 18, aren't going to school and throw away their future for a unrealistic dream - i.e. Illusion. Even Idra said he wouldn't recommend his choice to go to Korea to anyone when he turned 18. He said he was really lucky (same as Geoff) to get where they are today, and they wouldn't recommend the same decisions to anyone unless they had a clear plan beyond gaming. In fact, Idra said it was a "stupid" choice at the time but ended up lucky. Anyone can see Incontrol is positioning himself out of gaming and into casting (self admittedly). It's like winning a lotto ticket at the right place and the right time for some of these guys.

I've been around playing BW (now SC2) when my college roomate introduced me to it in 2000. But who thinks dropping everything to become a progamer is honestly a good life decision in the long run? It is obviously only for people in a transitional point in their life. Video games are ultimately here for entertainment and only a very select few people can make a living out out it...that's reality.
How much better to get wisdom than gold; to get insight rather than silver!

The comments on slashers article have made me sadder than I already was after reading about poor Quantic. It's like"main streamers" (i hate that term) don't even realise that football (soccer), rugby, hockey etc are all games.

The more people in a room the lower the average IQ... i guess?


Best of luck to the players, hope they find a team/sponsor soon.
