What stinks is people are going to say "This is really nothing to worry about". StarCraft 2 is going into serious decline and instead of trying to fix the problems, most people are just saying "stop saying StarCraft 2 is dying! its fine!". The community is turning into a US government clone.
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

Pretty sure this is going to happen to all the Kespa teams. Clide already tweeted that he's not a KT coach any more just now.

At this point you have to differentiate between the korean sc2 scene and the foreign scene. I think nobody will disagree with you when you say the korean scene is on a serious decline.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Remember that all hope is not lost of some of these players. They are on the waiver wire so other KeSPA teams can pick them up if they want them. However, the catch is though that the team who picked them up have to pay their Woongjin salary amount. I won't be surprised if teams purposely let them go through the 14 day waiver period to negotiate lower salaries.

Sadly though, I do think Free and PianO will retire. Free is really old and has military service to do. PianO got out of the military and was only given another chance because he was a former Woongjin player.

Woongjin is definitely going bankrupt. They are losing alot of player that actually has a load of potential.I think a disband is imenient its a sad thought but ..... I guess it happens

I can't think of them as Woongin Stars without Zero or free.

Free, BravO and, he who used BW queens versus protoss and mech, ZerO!
ㅠ____ㅠ
I can't believe they're really going ahead with this stupid new system with very small teams. Fucking KeSPA/WCS/whatever else is to blame.

EDIT: IM_ZerO please!

I actually want more koreans to retire because there are too many players but not enough tournaments.

The korean scene needs to shrink quite a bit,stabilize and then we'll see what we can do to slowly expand it once again(if that's possible).
All I do is Stim.

From what point is it declining? Seems to me alot of people are comparing to brood war just because kespa switched to sc2. They came into sc2, not the other way around. You have a scene that is fine. You add 100 players. Some of these players drop off and all of the sudden the scene is dying?

releasing zerO is a huge deal. I wonder if we will get some further explanation on why he was released

if Im reading correctly from KeSPA site, Hammer (aka Rudy) retires. That leaves Stars with 2 players, 2 B-teamers
But this is also a scheme to re-sign players at lower salary after the "waiver" period

Prediction: Woonjin absorbs Prime; MVP and and IM join Kespa. Kespa is once again eight teams.

Everyone is overreacting. There are plenty of teams left that can still hire them.

O man hope the korean scene stabilizes :/ imo the future is the eu scene
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Well, when kespa joined sc2; player pool got double. You say thats good?


But one thing is sure. Korean sc2 tournaments are in decline. Is this blizzards fault? 3 GSL per year?

Yes, this is the death of SC2. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the title sponsor declared bankruptcy and the CEO on trial for massive financial fraud. Nothing at all.
