http://fnatic.com/news/10315/fnatic-and-moon-split.html

Fnatic is sad to announce that our famous Zerg player Moon will be leaving the team at the end of the month. Despite doing well in some team leagues and performing decently for FnaticRaidCall in his individual tournaments, his results have not met our expectations and the decision was made for the two parties to go their separate ways. We wish Moon the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Though he was a legend at WC3, the move over to StarCraft 2 has not been full of the results that either Moon or Fnatic wanted. His tournament resume includes a number of close calls, taking silver in tournaments like the NVIDIA Gaming Festival this year and last year's DreamHack Summer.


Wonder where he goes.

Poor moon, I think Fnatic could have been nicer.

Sad to hear, I expect those banelings will preemptively detonate in eternity.......

Yikes. Can't remember the last time I read a release statement where the primary result given was lack of results T_T. Good luck to Moon and Fnatic.

Good for Fnatic. More teams should be purging the dead weight off their payrolls to stay financially viable.

Moon was great in his day but just hasn't done much in SC2 for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if he retires or switches to LoL. Wasn't he playing WC3 at WCG? Is he even an SC2 player anymore?

Too bad for Moon
Hope he finds a new team! I remember him tearing up GSTL for a while.

I think last time I saw it explicitly was ToD, but it's kinda obvious in many occasions that it's results/performance related, even if teams don't explicitly say it.
HOLY CHECK!

the problem was probably not only his lack of results but being expensive for the team despite having not great recent results

I like Moon but he shouldn't be playing two games competitively at the same time.

I think Moon will probably retire. He has wife and a child and with this lack of results and participation, I don't think he can imagine a big future in SC2.
