Yawn... Another thread to feed the ignorants who want nothing more than doomsday.
This is the first REAL bit of bad news to hit the Korean sc2 scene.
SouL and Stars got hurt from outside issues. Had nothing to do with sc2.
FXO looks like they are getting hurt because their sponsor just isn't very knowledgable... That's actually quite unfortunate...
But yeah, looks like the team will be just fine. Hopefully they get funding soon.
No no no, this means that Blizzard is dead and IdrA should've followed through with the tire iron.
Am I doomsday-ing right?

Come on, this has probably nothing to do with this but imo korean teams really need to do a better job at promoting their sponsors for foreign fans!!!
EG is honestly the only team that is doing a decent job (and lg-Im for a little bit) at constantly promoting the companies giving them money.

SlayerS did a pretty okay job with Pocari Sweat.

That's also one of the problems for the KeSPA teams right now. They couldn't even promote their sponsors to the global audience even if they tried to (except Samsung). You saw KT counteract that a bit with their Razer partnership, which was a good step. I agree with you on the other teams who have global sponsors, although MVP was doing quite a good job with Hot6ix in SEA.

phew, it had been at least three hours since I'd read bad news for the SC2 scene. I was starting to get worried.

To be honest I don't even know what FXOpen even is. I can't name a single sponsor of Prime or MVP.

BW was never dying and Kespa would still play it, and we would witness new OSL champions and crowded stadiums and new amazing games.
All this could be our today's reality. SC2 better be alive and flourishing, I think we sacrificed too much for its sake.

Clide has to do his mandatory military service, he'd be gone no matter the game.

Well, bound to happen.sponsors are not forever. I wonder when we will get more international companies to sponsor sc2, I mean that was the whole reason to internationalize the scene, right?

The athmosphere was the same though. And that's what was being asked for.

Not entirely true. Prime still doubles as models and sells clothes. And they rep Tt Esports gear. (As you'll find, if you got to the PrimeZzang global site.) It appears that the selection of clothes available from the site may be very limited on the English site - only see the one hoodie, all of the other Prime uniform items are no longer listed.
Wonder how Artosis feels about sharing a sponsor with MKP...

Uhm, MVP is sponsored by Hot6ix and Razer... TL even sells the MVP Goliathus...
Prime on the other hand has made its own brand with their online shop, but ISTR they got some sponsors, computer stuff related ones.

And again before everyone jumps on the: the star 2 world is going to shit bandwagon
This has somewhat little to do with sc2 in kr. Part of it is fxo doing fairly poorly this year (in teamleague and individual league), given that they got a raise after winning GSTL they seem to be on a success bonus basis. On top of that FXO just somewhat sold their eu division to na'vi and disbanded their NA team. Plus if you add 8 teams full of nerds to a scene that already has a lot of players, you will see a bunch of guys retiring and teams disbanding. If anything, this has been a long time coming.
All that sad. Well fuck I hope the team continues under a new name (afaik they did have a bunch of other sponsors besides fxo on their jerseys). Worst case I pray that all the guys find new teams, even though none of them have really stepped it up in hots, all these guys are insanely talented. Must suck especially for sc who just returned to starcraft and seedu who switched from im...

Doesn't look good. And not just for FXO.
