Well anti-fans like myself know better than to gloat in this thread.

I wish the gloating anti-SC2-fans had as much decency.

I wish so a well.

And thank you for calling me decent. :D

Except that has nothing to do with why STX disbanded. Their long time sponsor pulled out for reasons having nothing to do with SC2. People really need to stop throwing this around.

i'd say to expect more player cuts from teams regardless of kespa or esf to accomodate LoL players.

And i'd say that STX disbanding would be entirely unrelated to any of those events.

It will be a great GSTL season atleast!

Sucks for STX but I don't mind things being shaken up a bit here and there. Surprised that no one wanted Dear though, that is quite odd.

I think what most people are overlooking, is that STX SouL is NOT disbanding. They lost their sponsor, and a few of their players are moving on to other teams, or retiring, but you will see SouL participating in the next GSTL next week! with New Star HoSeo players! AND with Quantic's Koreans!

Now who am I supposed to root for in pro league? This sucks. I really hope those other players find teams. I really like dear and hyvaa. I hope they find teams and hyvaa doesn't retire.

The only team left that I want to cheer for is Samsung Khan. This is gonna be a disappointing season
Gogo Khan.....I guess......

This is just another step in the decline of SC2. You see players retiring, teams disbanding, viewer numbers decline rapidly. I have been a SC2 fan since the release and i must simply say that SC2 has lost its atractivity in any way for me nowadays. And news like this prove that the majority of the players/pro players/viewers see it the same way.

I am bored of seeing Deathball vs. Deathball, and often you can see that a game is lost/won in the beginning phase, with a 10-20 min death animation. I dont care anymore.

And Blizzard has proven again and again that they are out of touch with the e-sports scene and that they simply dont care. See it this way: They sell a game 2-3 million times, earn 50-60 million dollars. The whole e-sport scene in three years hasnt generated any money for them, quite the opposite. So why should they care?

I stop watching streams, stopped watching gsl and any streamers. Its sad, but its true. SC2 has reached its peak a year ago, and now it trending downwards rapidly.

See ya and don't let the door hit you on the way out. We don't need the doom harbingers in the sc2 community. All they do is bring negative energy to the scene.

I am surprised only Classic got picked up by another team ... I guess this might show that the other teams are also either 1) in trouble 2) investing less in SC2. If I had to guess I would go with the latter. Hopefully the players who want to continue playing find new teams soon :/

Also GL to the players in GSTL and amazing to see the two coaches show that kind of support to there former players.

STX Soul wins Proleague; team explodes after.

I'm nowhere near STX Soul's biggest fan and I think this is a sad way for the team to go. Good luck to all players on and off the team, even the ones who retired.

What did the scene lose than made it boring to watch? Because personally i think that SC2 is far better than it used to be. Also, eSport is the not center of the universe. A large company can get in financial problems regardless of the SC2 scene. Incredible - i know.

Jezus, you're a real idiot. I'm pretty sure that a company that is about to bankrupt is not very keen on sponsoring any-fucking-thing. Maby some day you will have something better to do in your life than commenting on a game you don't even care about.

Not surprising if you followed STX.
