I'm calling it now:

Ryung goes to Axiom
Genius goes to Team Liquid
Eve goes to Clarity Gaming
The rest of Azubu is acquired by EG. It becomes EG Korea

Ryung already is on Axiom buddy.

So is this the reason why Azubu picked a bunch of washed up, has beens? Because they didnt really care which players they chose as long as they could launder money while creating this "We are helping Esports grow! " image to the community?

With all these organizations collapsing, I wonder if an SC2 team is no longer a good decision to invest money into anymore...

I still don't understand why someone would make a company to launder money via esports. It seems like one of the worst ways to do it, everything is done over the internet, the people who watch esports would be mostly young (I assume) and curious, and scandals get rooted out so quickly. Oh well.

I hate the see any pro team go under. This has been a solid team for quite a while now. I'm sure there is a lot more to it than what we know but maybe this is for the best. I wish all the players good luck in finding new teams and hopefully all of the guys in the 'background' can find work as well.

I don't think their SC2 teams are the root of their problems, so much as the bad business decisions (Azubu) and the downturn in the profitability of their primary business due to the economic climate (STX). Corporations like SK Telecom are much more stable and their long running commitment to e-Sports probably wouldn't be the case if those teams weren't making money, so I think we'll be fine.

I have to see I'm a little concerned for these guys, when Azubu came along I thought they looked legit and will become a big player in the industry. I hope at the very least the sc2 team continues.

pretty glad to see shady business gone from my industry. sorry for the lol/dota derailment but the injection of money into esports (aka ogn lol champions, then herpderp buy both teams) is no way to sustain an industry. glad they are gone- part of the reason why that game went to...well... what it is today.

go back to our roots of slow and steady growth, with passion driving teams (aka liquid, mouz, sk). fuck people who try to buy us.

wow...that really sucks. Shows the communication skills that upper management has with it's employees. Anyone with half a mind would be able to effectively share information to their team coaches...

Maybe, maybe...
it's cause they are criminals and they don't want to share criminal details with their team coaches?
