As reported on Axiom's website here:
http://axiomesports.com/articles/news/axiom-esports/58/AxiomAcer-Partnership-Ends/
As more news about Korean teams disbanding comes forward, it’s clear GSTL will not continue into the new year. Since competing in GSTL was the sole purpose of Axiom’s partnership with Acer, the AxiomAcer partnership will end. The end of the alliance was agreed upon by both parties and we end our partnership amicably. We want to extend our warmest thanks to Team Acer for allowing their players to join us in the GSTL and their support throughout 2013.
During the partnership, Axiom-Acer overcame many expectations to finish 3rd place in the 2013 Season 1 GSTL, and winning 1st place in the 2013 Season 2 GSTL.
From Crank's blog:
Acer is still our closest friend and we still love each other.

It was a good partnership while it lasted.

That's too bad but it's not surprising with no GSTL. I wonder where Scarlett is going to live to practice in 2014

Could have been fun to watch AxAc in Proleague, Gl to both teams.

Well, it kinda makes sense. As mentioned, it was a good partnership but no GSTL, no need for it anymore. At least, Ryung won't be picking on Innovation when the partnership is dissolved so there's that lol

What about the housing situation? Will the Acer players move out or stay in the teamhouse?

A nice and productive partnership comes to its natural end.
Too bad for GSTL. I just hope GSL will cover enough Coda A matches to give me my fix of Wolfdor.

I thought she was retiring in the near future? Did I miss something?

Yeah you probably did, I don't think she's retiring

She said something about a year I believe. Her interview with... I want to say Slasher, had her saying she didn't stick with one game for too long. She didn't give any definitive response, and said she'd probably still be playing just not as hardcore as she is.
I also don't think this necessarily changes the living arrangements. Considering they're all good friends they might just continue doing what they're doing and just split the rent however many ways. But there's also the WCS changes going on, with other players planning on playing in other regions, who knows how many would move and the living situations could change drastically in general.

what about the team house bros?
tb keeps saying the house in Korea is expensive.

She said she don't want to be full time in 2014.

She's quite a drama queen so I don't take her words for written into rock. She has been very successful so obviously she will continue :D

She said she might not play full-time in 2014, didn't she? Even if that's how it turns out, there's a significant difference between that and retiring, and she kind of tends to be somewhat of a drama queen, I wouldn't take her word for it just like that given her success this year.

She said in an interview she wants to keep playing and competing quite a bit, but will likely cut down on watching the game and other related stuff, just practice and competition. That means you have time for school and other stuff too.
Besides, if she keeps doing well and is the process of getting an education, there is not really anything else she could do to make comparable money. She had 12k viewers when streaming for 10 hours. I really do hope she can get a solid practice environment for 2014, though with the clusterfuck that is the Korean scene it is not exactly a safe bet to go over there.
And even if it's part time, who cares. Maybe that will actually help because you don't need to live and breathe SC every day. Polt is doing just fine. So was Nerchio for a long time. If anything he did better back then. I think everyone should be part time, playing a game as demanding and stressful as Sc2 full time for years is not something I'd recommend to anyone.
On topic: we knew about this for a while, TB dropped the news when GSTL went belly up. Sad not to see AxA in PL, but scheduling would be a nightmare, and so would housing and other shit.
