I respected Soul's coaches before this but now...they are beyond human, I really hope they find sponsors to help them out !

I hate to see that so much people are acting like ''omg sc2 is dead or dying''.

Get a grip on yourself and be realistic.

Yes old BW players are retiring from starcraft 2, I am at least happy that they gave it a try and decided to stop. So be it. Good luck to them in the future. Starcraft 2 will continue no matter what!

They'll probably get the rights for a movie drama under their brand name "Cataclysm".
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Yea. I feel that Kespa team will also be cutting more players. Having more than 10+ players aren't that ideal anymore sadly...

MVP disbanding is easily the worst rumor in the thread. :/

How does Prime expect KeSPA to find them a sponsor if they can't keep Soul going?

https://twitter.com/supernovamaniac is currently posting a lot of rumors. Here's a summary.
  • RUMOR: Bisu to retire, Hydra to (possibly) retire
  • RUMOR: EffOrt, RorO, and Stork not going to retire
  • RUMOR: Hyvaa not retired, just "jobless"?
  • RUMOR: KeSPA downsizing SC2 teams to 5-6 people / Reporter: Organizations will focus on LoL teams
  • RUMOR: IM leaves eSF, KeSPA trying to get LG to sponsor IM
  • RUMOR: MVP dissolves, SC2 team disbanded, LoL squad to Samsung KHAN
  • RUMOR: Prime leaves eSF, hopes KeSPA can help find a sponsor

Kespa reducing team size makes me sad for them.

IM Prime MVP out of eSF (ALL OF THESE ARE RUMORS BTW). IM working with KeSPA to get LG to sponsor.

They're preparing for LoL finals, and upcoming SC2 Proleague maybe its last.

Woongjin's still up in the air, Soul -> GSTL (confirmed), Bisu retires, KeSPA SC2 teams downsized to 5~6 people

Alex Kim ‏@supernovamaniac 8m

I'm going to translate what I just got on my personal twitter feed.


Keep in mind all of it rumors.

Well stx thingie has been a long time coming, just glad they stick around in gstl without stx (even if its just to proof that slashers yellow press style journalism was wrong afterall). Other than that this is what happens when the bw scene merges with an existing star 2 scene, there are too many teams atm and that will change, on top of that lol is really back over there so players retiring/teams disbanding is just natural, we are just downsizing to a reasonable level from just being way way oversized. Soul vs Acer should be really wierd in gstl.

I rather think Blizz doesnt want them, they only want "new" players, also from sc2 release.
Look Diablo3, they dont care about d2 community/player.

Why is that so bad? Kespa was still going on with BroodWar. Other solutions then just throwing it as a ''mistake of blizzard''?

Hopefully Bisu will play in SOSPA leagues now, else that would make me very sad ;;

And MVP disbanding would be very, very sad news.
Why can't I quit you, siege tank? FanTaSy, Mvp.

Yep after KeSPA switched, the korean sc2 scene was definitely oversaturated. Especially with OSL/GSL being combined in WCS KR. It was just a matter of time. Still crazy.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
