Who were the investors? Boycott them ... if only for the abandoning the people without any warning beforehand. | ||

Instead of forming a smaller elite team like for example Teamliquid with only handpicked players Quantic was mostly consisting of NA semiprofessionals who had never any chance to be succesful. Quantic was also a team which tried to add "special" non-professionals such as girls (Flo, Maddelisk) and most importantly MaximusBlack for short-term attention and media coverage. A team which pays money to an NA midmaster player is supposed to fail and I can only appreciate that. I don't know why so many people think of this as sad. It's the natural economic flow. Bad investments ultimately end in failure. It's only sad for the few real pros who have to find a new team now. | ||

The fact that they invested in this project from the beginning you can only say, thank you!, to them, they really didn't have to do this, and Boycotting the people who invest in this Esports thing is the stupidest thing anybody can ever do. | ||

If you look at the completely overinflated roster you can see that the team didn't think of it as professional itself.

Agreed they didn't seem to have much of a core lineup but since they were new they were building their awareness which, assuming their funding that had been agreed upon continued they might've paid off. But whatever. | ||

In your "logic" it would be more fitting to boycott yourself. Why didnt you watch all their Players streams, wrote to the Sponsors how awesome Team Quantic is, donate Money? Huh? Yeah right, the sponsor is the big, bad evil guy and its not just about the lack of Fans, Attention and poorly management in terms of "how to generate money". So read again pls. because its just an idiotic statement: "boycott the sponsors"...I wouldn't put my money in some Project anymore when I realize that the Management of it doesnt know how to use my investment properly and generate more money (after a while, Quantic had more than a while..). And yes, I know 100% of what I'm talking about, unlike most other "guessers". Still a sad message, but when something gets more professional, the less professional managed teams disappear. Thats all. No offense in the direction of anyone at Quantic, but this is extremely bad luck or just bad management. And bad luck is very, very rarely the main point why something crashes after a long period of existing like Quantic-Gaming did. | ||

I'm also sad that they disband but as somebody pointed out: paying people who are mid masters isn't the smartest thing to do with your money. | ||

Sponsors =/= Investors. There is a huge difference between them and investors are leaving. Also it's the best way to make any other people/company who want to put money on eSport to turn to something else. | ||
