fnatic is one of the largest eSports organizations in Europe, they're not dying. If anything they're just pulling out of Korea, which could be bad news for aLive and Oz. I don't see this change affecting any of their European players or their organization on a whole. Doesn't really make sense to have a Korean training house when you have 2 players in Korea.

1.6 is gone and I wouldn't say they dominate LoL, they're a top3 foreign team. And it's gonna be interesting to see if they will remain so since Rekkles is gone now. But that's all off topic :p.

Hope aLive will be fine, too.

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...


Korea is not the sacred land of esports..


Any way to back that claim?

Sacred land of Esports is Brazilia Nation.

why would you hope a team goes under? Especially Fnatic, which has been around for so long and has such a rich history in esports?

Beacuse of the shit way they treated Moon. Any an organization that releases a statement like that deserves bankruptcy.

Kind of a pity that stuff like this is happening, really hope that what Nightend etc. are saying (that Fnatic isn't screwed) is true.
Alive and Oz have really fallen off, and with ByuL gone, it seems like a lot of the threat in their roster is now kinda done
can i get my estro logo back pls

Stay tuned, and quit this sky is falling bullshit it's getting boring.


you keep saying this for a while, yet nothing and i mean nothing changes for the good.

no more teamhouse, if you ask me its the first step of a slow decay.

only a matter of time until fnatic goes full mediocre foreign team, which no one cares about (except 2 or 3 hipster maybe)

if you want to get back on track and shock people and actually get fans on your side, you got to hire Polt, HyuN and Symbol, for the salary Moon received. TSL members got nothing. Its your turn, now or never.

Fnatic can NOW remain relevant or next month already drow into a meaningless nirvana, while other teams take opportunity

They have all their fate now in their hands.

Good luck

Beacuse of the shit way they treated Moon. Any an organization that releases a statement like that deserves bankruptcy.

How did they treat Moon badly? He received a salary better than other SC2 players which were above his level, just because of his name, yet he never produced results which justified his salary. He wasn't forced to live in the team house like the rest of the players, so he could live with his wife, which is understandable, but it's an even bigger logistical problem for Fnatic. Then, he practiced WC3 to participate in WCG, rather than concentrate on SC2. He failed the qualify for the GSL for the entirety of 2012, failed to qualify for OSL, He did quite well for Fnatic in GSTL, but since they were dropping out for 2013, he was simply an unnecessary and very expensive investment.

Then his contract ran out, or they mutually decided to part ways, I'm sure there were no hard feelings between them.

Yes, I used to drool over his play in WC3, but he's far from being on the same level here, just like ToD for example. You should you be mad that they simply stated the truth? They merely said that his results weren't up to par, which is the obvious truth - they didn't lie or cover it up like most organisations do. They even acknowledged him as a WC3 legend, as well as his close call achievements.

You should be thankful that they gave him the opportunity to continue his legacy. It didn't work out for either party. I wouldn't be surprised if Moon left because he wanted to retire from SC2. We'll see whether he'll try to qualify for GSL Season 2, and then we'll know.

Since when korean teamhouse and a bunch of koreans equals successful team ? The things that we know are that they are moving out of their house and they are not participating in GSTL. That probably means that fnatic didn't find what they were seeking in Korea and are pulling out of there. It looks like a business decision to me. The foreign market is way bigger anyways.

Blasphemy! They've been an esports staple since pretty much the very beginning. Pioneers, if you will.
