Man, if fnatics sc2 squad disbands, it's a huge blow to the scene IMO. Fnatic, such a big and established team in the esport scene.

Sad but i think a lot of people saw it coming. I'll happily trade Fnatic/TSL for Azubu/Axiom they seem to have a much better business/team enviroment that should breed more success imo (It would be cool to have them all)

I don't think Axiom has enough players to compete by themselves in the GSTL, I could see EGTL participating as well as Azubu but Axiom seems pretty unlikely

Axiom will be in GSTL, they are picking up Alicia and Heart and working on a deal with Acer which will have MMA play with them as well.

Well it seems Fnatic wants to focus on being an european team again since they invited their actual player to live in Europe.
Lets go King of Europe now ! ^_^

That sucks :/

Wouldn't mind seeing Nani on fnatic, seems like it would be a good fit for both. Nani and nightend were both und players in war3 and both toss in sc2 ^_^.


From watching Naniwa's GSL run and how much he has been flip flopping on teams I don't think he feels he fits in any where or he probably would have stayed on one of his past teams instead of leaving everyone

Well the funeral is more the suspicion that SC2 is losing more ground.
If they leave Korea, the sacred land of esports, this doesn't bode well for SC2.

I don't think we need to fear that any big and old multi-game-team will disband because of it's SC2 division...

Are Fnatic and coL to shut down at the same time now? Axiom is still a small team and could potentially pick up many players, Azubu are reasonably likely to expand given their race-imbalance, what other teams could the players go to? Maybe someone will join MMA in Acer?

The team itself is ok (Fnatic.LOL is doing exceptionally) but the SC2 division is lacking.

I love how a lot of people in this thread seem to think that any Team that has SC2 players is a StarCraft 2 team only. Fnatic as an organisation is fine and as a StarCraft 2 team is fine. I posted earlier on the front page of this post and NightEnD also posted, things with the StarCraft division aren't going backwards they're very much so going forwards. Stay tuned, and quit this sky is falling bullshit it's getting boring.

I've asked cArn (fnatic's Chief Gaming Officer) more then once, and they will not sign naniwa.
I think it's sad, cuz fnatic is a great team with a lot of greatness in it's history, wich most ppl in sc2 wouldn't know about, and I'd like to see nani in that kind of a team.

Anyway, hope everything works out for fnatic, definitly one of my fav teams!

The only thing that's confirmed is that they're moving out of that place. And a house like they had really doesn't make a lot of sense in their current situation. There's several soccer teams out there who can tell you why "well then just get more players" isn't always the best of options either. Not to mention it not being as simple as "just put players in Korea and they'll start owning" anymore. As for them leaving Korea not boding well for SC2, I think you may be overestimating their current relevance a bit, but if anything that's probably something they'll be wanting to focus on, from whichever geographical base.

Fact is, we don't know any of their current plans. It could well be they are pulling out of SC2, which seems like something you'd tell your players but ok. That's just one scenario though. They could get another place, work with another team, shift priorities to acquiring other players or playing in different markets, whatever.. we don't know.

What we do know is that many'll pick the most drama option in their responses however and that's just been proven again, so well done there at least.
