The backers behind quantic obviously put some major money into this to secure a team house, top class players like Illusion, SaSe, TheStC, Golden, and flew people to tournaments. They have however been relatively bad at finding sponsors and giving the sponsors they have exposure. I had to look up what sponsors Quantic have despite been quite familiar with them, and they only have the generic Twitch and Razer sponsorship which every serious team seems to have these days (possibly with Steelseries over Razer). To me it seems to have been run more like a clan than a business, and investors likely couldn't see a good ROI being likely. *

In any case I suspect this means EGTheStCRC as EG likely knew before, TheStC would fit their plans in proleague perfectly and they hinted at a new player in Korea.

SaSe, Illusion and Golden shouldn't have major problems finding a team either.

* EDIT: And apparently some weird vision sponsor I never heard about despite reading and hearing plenty interviews with Quantic players

That's a lot of talent gone. Granted they didn't really have an all star to help carry them (I wouldn't call TheSTC reliable), but there was a lot of talent that could've been trained up. What went wrong?

@Slasher
Investors have pulled out from funding the team, players nor staff knew about this beforehand. Players in talks with other American teams.

Very sad news

I wonder if this is just shedding some of the, what 24 players they had on the roster? I'm sure most of their upper tier players will find homes, but seems like they had a lot of dead weight at the bottom.

What sad news. Well I figure other teams will at least have bidding wars for the more well known players like TheSTC, SaSe, Golden, and Illusion. I figure Complexity wouldn't mind having any of them.

Frankly the bubble has burst, and now things are going to downsize. It sucks for those who are losing their teams but it was bound to happen eventually.

The retirements for LoL are because they can't be successful in sc2 or have lost passion for sc2, not because LoL is a better career path ( It's not unless you are in a huge team )

Knowing Crank is best friend with TheStC, and how awesome theStC is, wouldn't be surprised to see him joining Axiom. Sucks for the other players; hope Sase, Golden and Illusion find a good new home

Isn't Quantic also some of the older teams? With teams in Halo etc(before SC2 was released)?

Sase to a Korean team would be sick. ST_Sase has a nice ring to it.
