During IPL5 I met with another top Korean team that is having the same sponsor difficulties. It's still not easy to run a large-scale team. | ||

Teams come and go and only the strongest can really stay long term. I welcome our Kespa Overlords, Hell the only SC2 matches from korea I watch nowadays are the Kespa matches. | ||

I can't imagine Prime will last much longer... but the other teams seem to be doing just fine. We also have plenty of other high caliber (and foreign) teams replacing these teams in Korea which will hopefully set a standard for better recruitment and marketing. | ||

TSL was one of my all time favorite teams. There has been so much good and bad news lately, I'm curious as to what else might happen soon :/ I will always remember enjoying everyone from TSL playing so much! | ||

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. | ||
