Can't say that this is unexpected given the recent departures. Hopefully the remaining roster gets picked up shortly. HyuN should have no trouble, but I am the world's biggest HyuN fanboy so I may be rather biased.

I feel like this was long in the making, Revival then Polt was a bad omen and the glory days of FruitDealer were Looong over, shame to see em go but it leaves a spot in the sc2 scene for other teams to fill, good news?

I'm sad, quite sad actually.

Hopefully all the great TSL players find new homes in a few other good Korean teams!

Lots of talent on the market with the disbandment of this team, even more than when slayers disbanded imo. Good luck to the players. Sad to see the team go.

I didn't know that most of the players weren't payed. If that's true, then hopefully HyuN can get an actual contract where he has a paid salary. Probably for the better, even though this was one of my favorite KR teams.

Wow, this is so unfortunate. I hope HyuN and Symbol can find a new home soon, together they made a very scary zerg team.

While I am saddened by this as I have always really liked TSL as one of those "smaller" teams, I can't say it is overly surprising. But it also is a bit upsetting on how poorly the Korean teams are being run. Let me tell you this:

A couple months ago or so, I contacted TSL about a possible sponsorship for their team. I initially spoke with Sephora as she was kind of the website/English person and she was very good at communicating with me and relaying a few messages with Coach Lee. Finally Coach Lee wanted to set up a meeting on Skype and asked me to add him, I did but he never accepted. Sephora then asked that I email him, and I did with some basic overviews of what I was willing to offer and what I was hoping to get out of a sponsorship. Once again, he never responded. When I followed up with Sephora the only answer I got was that he was really bad with Skype and emails, and that she would try again.

Its really a shame, but at the same time I can't feel bad for the Korean teams who say they have sponsorship problems that force them to lose players, or even an entire team but do not respond to serious sponsorship proposals. I can say that my proposal ranged from a couple thousand dollars for a small recognition (logo/patch) for my organization, to something in the 5-digit range for a little more formal sponsorship and possible partnership with the team I am building that could be used for expenses, stipends, or to help send players to foreign events if thats what they desired. So needless to say, while it may not have saved the team on its own, it would most certainly have been a pretty substantial private sponsorship amount, that could have helped a team continue to operate and help players out.

TSL is not the only team I have previously contacted either, however sadly enough they were actually the most responsive of the teams that were apparently having financial trouble. I have thought this for quite some time, but the Korean ESF teams (not including FXO, and maybe even ST) are extremely poorly run as a business. And for a team having trouble to not even respond to sponsorship inquires and then use lack of sponsors as a reason to disband, is not a true portrayal of the problem with teams in Korea.

I may consider looking into a "save TSL" effort though.....

They should've just started a LoL team to subsidize their SCII squad like the KeSPA teams..

I feel bad for Symbol, I hope Polt continues to play on as he has shown real improvement in the last 2 months once he decided to take his training seriously.

God I hope not. IPL is a great league but please no. I would see him fitting in well on a team like AZUBU or something in a similar vein.
