There is no AZUBU. The SC2 team has not had a sponsor for a couple of months now? Maybe a bit more, I can't quite remember.
I wanna say there was a statement that while Azubu Korea shutdown Azubu HQ in Germany would still continue to sponsor the team. How much that sponsorship amounts to or how much of a load of shit that was I can't say. Maybe I'm remembering wrong..
AZUBU HQ in Germany does not exist. People have investigated it. I'm not gonna sift through those couple of threads to find it now, but it's all there.
Sad that Azubu turned out to be shady, it provided a home for a lot of talented and extremely good Code S level players.
Now my hope is that all the Azubu players find a new warm home that provides them with plenty of opportunities to continue to shine. In particular I hope SuperNova and Genius find good teams and I wish them the best of luck in that regard.

Honestly at this point in time players like Symbol, san, Genius, BBoongBBoong and SuperNoVa would be worthwhile additions to pretty much any team's roster. And there's lots of teams that would need players of this caliber, both in Korea and outside of it. So I'm not worried for them.
As for Sleep, VINES and TOP they're not exactly on the same level, so perhaps retirement seems a more likely option, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised to see them on a lower profile foreigner team or maybe as coaches on a Korean team?
We'll just have to wait and see how it all turns out. :/
I wonder if we see AZUBU in GSTL with such a small line up (they won't be the only small team) especially if other players are looking at other options.
The number of people removed in the last two months make a decent team all on their own. I wonder how long Azubu will last, but I hope that San is able to find a good team. He is too good not to.
