I'm not expecting the SC2 scene to die, I just think its going to have to shed a lot of weight. But there is nothing wrong with a lean focused scene, in my opinion. Having fewer teams and fewer tournaments makes each event more meaningful and exciting. That is a pretty good point you have, maybe we can try to keep a positive head space about this. I hope all the Quantic Gaming players find a new team , and fast! Especially TheOgnis, he is a true broodwar legend that deserves a team. I think you should try to join SKT1 practice partner theo! GL all QxG~ I met a lot of QxG's players at past two MLG colombus's, and they are quite an amazing group of players and people, I don't really feel the same if it was a different team disbanding, I think that these players really DESERVE to be picked up asap, god bless~ | ||

Whether through streaming, tournament performance or just over extension It isn't terribly complicated. Speaking from an inside perspective on Quantic, and on the scene in general: I highly doubt that ANY team properly monetizes it's PLAYERS in such a way that it compensates investors. With VERY FEW exceptions, the entire scene is largely funded by personal funding from team owners, venture capitalists and other investors. | ||

Having fewer teams and fewer tournaments makes each event more meaningful and exciting. This is a great way to look at this situation. I can also see this happening to other teams as well. What many teams should do is take notes from teams like TL and EG. These teams produce content and have a really good interaction/standing with fans. You don't have to consistently win tournaments to have a successful team. You have to have the fan base and support to have a successful team. I mean winning does help with team success but I think it doesn't have as great of an impact as other things. I hope all of the Quantic players can find new teams. | ||

Having fewer teams and fewer tournaments makes each event more meaningful and exciting. You captured it , fewer number of teams with cut to the bone budgets. Mid tier teams will find it hard to compete with the Elite EGs and TLs as the marketing dollars follow the stars. | ||

When a company files for bankruptcy and the contract not directly states what is to be done during a bankruptcy then you have to turn to whatever party that the bankruptcy was filed to since they now own the company and its process of said bankruptcy. They are the only ones now, not the actual owners, that has any legal power of the company. I would assume something similar happens in this case as well unless they get some deal with the players. | ||
