Man...if Azubu gets them too wth, lol.

Wonder where they'll go. I'm feeling a Korean team for both of them, but not Kespa. I'd guess Oz to Startale or MVP and Alive to IM

LG-IM.Alive

how awesome does that sound

I've been waiting for this for a long while. Hope they both get back to Korean teams and start to look like their early 2012 forms.

It seems alot of people seem to be missing the 'picking up 2 new EU players tomorrow' section, which is what I am more interested in!

Wouldn't be surprised to see Oz back in FXO. I could see aLive on MVP/ST.

I wonder if either will go to a KESPA team now. Oz would be a great pick up he's shown he can be a strong leader for teams in addition to being a great player.

I hope Oz can become a player of consequence again. His leaving FXO for Fnatic might be the worst move any SC2 player has ever made from a performance standpoint.

Fnatic probably has plenty to spare now that they've reinvested from Korea so they'll probably go for some big ones maybe naniwa and cloud or sase?

StarTale will make a move on both players I think. At least they go with Oz to attempt to replace the epicness that was Squirtle and Parting.

I'd love to see Axiom or Azubu try and pick these two up. Acer wouldn't be bad either.

There's always the KESPA teams too, aLive I think could fit in real well with them. They could use more solid Terrans.

...

After officially shutting down our Gaming facility in Seoul, South Korea in the end of 2012, we actively searched for alternatives to accommodate our Starcraft 2 players at our desired investment level. Regretfully we were unable to find suitable accommodation for them to continue their professional careers in SC2 with Fnatic but also to allow them to improve with the right training facilities. Our aim for 2013 has been to refocus our efforts on our European expansion plans and cut back on the significant investment into Korea (Over 250,000 USD in 2012).

...


What in the world are they spending 250k on????

Most people saw this coming but it is still sad that oz and alive are no longer with fnatic. Best of luck in wherever they end up next!

I think nightend and harstem do not really appreciate naniwa, at least that's what i recall from their interviews. Sase, why not.

I guess Alive will join EG or IM as he stays there all the time (maybe even sleeps there?). Oz will probably go to a kespa team or Azubu. Just a hunch
