Considering how SlayerS and TSL disbanded, neither of those had much to do with the health of SC2 as an e-sport, lol. SlayerS was an explosion of the world's largest dramabomb, and TSL was because their players all left every time they got good.

QXC got better, and Goswer's skill is leaps and bounds past where it was before. Too bad he left. I agree the house was a mammoth establishment. They had their own boat ramp and boat...I mean...

TSL had trouble even securing sponsors even with power-hitters like Shine, HyuN, Symbol, and Polt. Seems kind of like a problem to me >_< There doesn't seem to be enough sponsor backing in Korea but then again it might be due to the KeSPA-influx. I don't know TSL's situation before the KeSPA transition though but I don't think it was any better.

The house was way too big for only 4-5 players at a time. Sad to see it close, but happy to see the money better spent from now on.

"we just said we could spend our money elsewhere more wisely. If we could get a few top tier players, that would make more sense"
CoL.Polt inc!

This makes me sad, did you bother to read the op or are you determined to believe this game is dying?

That must be a little disappointing for the players, it was such a nice house with a boat!

Lake said one of the chief reasons for its closure was that media content that was planned to be produced out of the house was no longer possible. The person responsible for the media production side of the house needed to attend to other commitments.

“The experiment wasn’t bad by any means. We got a lot of player growth and development. But at the end of the day, when we looked at a new year…renewing the lease..we just said we could spend our money elsewhere more wisely. If we could get a few top tier players, that would make more sense.”
I don't know, somehow I get the feeling that money was the main reason why the house was closed, not staff.
Closing a house, which is a huge financial undertaking, just because you could not spare one staff to look after it, one staff whose financial backing pales in comparison, just doesn't really make sense, imo.
Oh well, sucks for Trimaster and the others who lived in that house. I hope they find a suitable alternative.

Investing in a house for your players doesn't make much sense when your players are not that great in the first place. Getting better players for the same cash is far more sensible and likely to work out well.

Sson said the SC2 market is really bad in Korea atm on his stream like 2-3 days ago...sponsors in Korea seem to lean toward LoL teams more

odd that they would lease instead of buy. Guess they were tentative in the first place.
