On January 3rd, 2012, TSL's head coach, Lee Woon Jae, called This Is Game and stated that "it is time to face reality. It has become far too difficult for this team to continue going on. We have decided to disband."

TSL was a team that was formed with the announcement of SC2 WoL. The team launched alongside beta test prodigies Fruitdealer, and TricKsteR.

TSL received a big blow on their roster when Fruitdealer and TricKsteR left. However, TSL then went on to birth even more talents like Polt (teamless), Clide (KT Rolster coach), Killer (MVP team captain), Revival (EG), and JYP (EG) to try to stay alive in the SC2 scene.

Later on, TSL still hung on through the difficult times. They took in MBC HERO's HyuN and Symbol who received an all kill for the GSTL and kept the team's appearance alive. TSL was looking pretty good with decent GSTL placements and HyuN grabbing a Code S finalist spot for the 2012 GSL Season 5. Polt won multiple foreign tournaments and the TSL roster was full of talented and promising players.

However, with the recent losses of Polt and Revival, fans began to wonder if TSL was in trouble or not. Eventually, coach Lee revealed that "with our most recent player losses and difficulty in finding sponsors, we had no choice but to disband TSL."

Therefore, HyuN, Symbol, Shine, Center, and RagnaroK are now teamless. Coach Lee stated that "the players did not want the team to disband but none the less, understood the current situation at hand and accepted my decision. They were sorry to see the team go like this."

Coach Lee's final statement was "These players all hold tremendous talent and are more sincere than any other players out there. I really hope other teams out there will help so that they find new teams soon."

I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the year, the only Korean teams outside of KeSPA would be StarTale, MVP, IM and Azubu. NS HoSeo have been lackluster for a long time now, and Prime will continue operating for a while since they're putting so much effort into remaining afloat, but at the end of the day, there's just no place for so many teams who want to compete at the highest level in Korea. It's not necessarily a bad thing either. Unfortunately, most of the SC2 teams in Korea did not have the professional infrastructure required to remain in business for the long term. They were driven by passion, which is great, but passion alone won't house, feed and pay the players and coaches and send them to events.

I wouldn't mind seeing a 'smaller' scene in 2013, than in 2011 and in 2012, if its more structured. By smaller, I mean a smaller number of teams, but of a higher caliber, Less tournaments, but with more of a league structure to create storylines, rather than three-day marathons 3 times a month, with a random assortment of players.
