Tomorrow's news:

Azubu confirmed their plan to fire all Azubu Germany employees and close down Azubu Germany by June 29. The future of SNS, streaming, and media services by Azubu is now unclear, but Team Azubu(SC2) will continue to be supported by Korean HQ.

The decision to completely withdraw from Germany was solely made by the HQ, and it has not been shared with Team Azubu at all.

Head Coach of Team Azubu "Lim Sungchoon" showed his frustration saying "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength".


I didn't ask for these powers

SuperNova just got out of a group of death quite handily, someone needs to pick him up. Symbol and Sleep would be good pick ups too since they are already in the league.

I don't understand why everyone is talking about the Azubu SC2 squad, doesn't it clearly state in the OP that they will still be supported?


You know how TLers don't properly read threads.

Because a company that is going under and firing all it's staff can viably fund a team. I read the OP I just don't buy that Azubu can still manage to support the team like they say they will

As long as the team has other sponsors they might "survive" if they meet the bare minimum (pay the rent, food and travel cost) ... which wont be for long unless they get some new cash. As a sponsor I would get out ASAP though.


Rent/Food/Travel still add up to a considerable amount of budget. Also, hardly any of the players will want to stay without salary. I think their SC2 team will probably disband soon.

The duality between GSTL and SPL is neat. 8 teams each, with one team being a partnership between foreign owned organizations (Axiom-Acer/EG-TL) and another (in eSF's case potentially) lacking sponsorship (AZUBU/Team 8).

well, at least i know it existed - a friend of mine worked there for a couple of months

That kinda contradicts this post (from the Azuwho? thread) which probably is the reason why people are saying that the office does not exist:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=406145&currentpage=12#233

Just for the fun of it I might even check up on that Clauf office address over the next few days ... to see if there is a nameplate to be found somewhere and so on. The pitiful attempt at a webpage really makes it seem like a waste of time 99,9999% though.

I fail to understand how a team that doesn't have any income, participate in leagues like GSTL.
More importantly, how do they have a team house in Korea at all + bills + food + players.

Rofl ... their team outfits are going to be outrageous (and even more funny than Apollo as pink Pikachu).
