Don't remember where he talked about this, maybe Roll Call or The Executives or some such thing, but the CEO always ran the team at a deficit supported by other jobs. With reduced sponsor money and the current outlook for Starcraft as an esport, I suppose the only option was disbanding.

...And people question why many StarCraft players have a hate for the League of Legends comunity. When I read this, I see only one reason for such a pull-out, they think they will get more advertising for thair buck, in LoL. Hence, Fuck League. ... ok maybe thats jumping the gun, but I love SC and this THIS is killing sc esports. (0 Sponsors =/= 0 esports)

User was warned for this post

This has nothing to do with LoL man, they disbanded their LoL team too.

I thought Axiom wasn't taking any new players, I believe I read somewhere that they wanted three by the end of the year and they already have Crank, Ryung and Miya.

They also said they want to compete in team leagues. Three was probably the goal for this year, but the year is almost over.

Read this as infestors initally and became very confused.

Sad to see so many players suddenly without homes, especially guys who have had teams semi-recently disband on them, like Hawk, State, Illusion, and TheStC. Hopefully all players find teams soon.

You can't blame infestors for everything.

I guess you missed the part where Quantic acquired a LoL team a couple of weeks ago?

Not an SC2 team shutting down, a gaming team shutting down.
They also apparently had a CoD team.

Theyre disbanding all parts of their team you stupid shit. There is no Quantic in SC2, LoL, Dota 2, or COD

Liquid should pick up flo. The puns alone make it a good idea!

While I enjoyed following a number of Quantic players, especially theSTC and Illusion, the team itself never seemed to really coalesce as a force to be reckoned with amongst pro teams, especially in terms of marketing image and relative popularity. I don't think the team had great exposure, and perhaps this was an inevitability of a scene that will go through both contractions and expansions. I hope the players find team homes if they wish to continue playing, perhaps their skills will be better utilized on other rosters.

That's a lot players... I hope they can find new home (some of them literally). Maddelisk joined them just few months ago, I hope she can find new one, as well as flo.
