Never really was a big fan of the team, but this should be sad news to all SC2 fans. RIP

2013: the year SC2 is gonna die ?


All the teams disbanding are an effect of late 2012. It is totally unsure what direction SC2 will go this year.
One thing that looks certain though is that Kespa will be the victor in their clash with the ESF.



nah ESF players still outnumber kespa players quite abit in GSL

things change, and it's tough when stars leave.

I hope the players find new teams quickly, especially PartinG

What the fuck!!!??? Im not a fan of TSL, I actually find myself rooting against Hyun and Symbol quite often, however this is just sad. TSL was one of the greatest teams in SC2. I hope no other teams disband.

Companies don't wanna sponsor a game with a limited viewership number like SC2, and if the trend continues, unfortunately I see this happening for other teams soon.

2011 was probably one of the best years for SC2, so unfortunate that stagnation of map pool, terrible balance decisions that brought the game to a shitty metagame that is super boring to watch, are slowly killing viewership number and by consequences, teams
2012 was super terrible.
I hope 2013 will be a great year for SC2 and can go back to its 2011 numbers and even better, but I am pretty negative because I think Blizzard will manage to fuck it up, yet again T_T

This is absolutely not the case, people really need to stop saying this. Any sport from top to bottom can find sponsorships based on viewership numbers. Just because there is something bigger out there does not mean there is no worth. If that were the case no sport below the largest would be able to find sponsors. There is plenty of opportunity for sponsorship dollars in StarCraft2.

The issue is too many people want to be a part of it. It is only natural to lose some along the way when that happens. This goes for tournaments, teams, and players. There are simply too many teams in Korea and only the ones with the best business structure will survive in the long run. Korean teams never evolved with the scene. They took a laid back BroodWar approach of no streaming, no social media, no websites. In BroodWar the teams were carried by being on TV. In StarCraft2 they did not have such a pitch and never got their act together.

looks like everyone is struggling with sponsorships, there was this thread not too long ago about Prime having issues with finding a sponsor as well

Sad but necessary. There are too many teams with the KeSPA influx.

Wow, that is depressing to hear...

I know the players will be picked up soon, at least I hope so. RagnaroK has huge potential, I don't want to see that go to waste.
