Not really shocking for me, Alternate was bound to leave sc2 sooner or later. I just hope that Socke got all the money he was owed and will find a good team.

Yes, I was wondering, too, how long Alternate would keep a Team with only Socke as a player. Still waiting for that XMG announcements, very possible that Socke is one of their additions in my opinion.

I think this is a bigger loss to ALTERNATE than to Socke. They will struggle to find someone to represent them better in the SC2 scene (and a noteworthy LoL/Dota 2 team will cost them considerably more).

They had a noteworthy LoL team, but dropped it too (was picked up by Millenium).

So do we (the Germans) have any real pros left? I mean real pros, not the ones whose sponsorship is limited to a mousepad every two months or so.

Hasuobs retired, right?

HasuObs just played ToD in the eSportsventure Cup and qualified for WCS. So no, he is not retired.

Quite some nonsense you write.

HasuObs is active.
TLO
Heromarine
plus a lot of people in smaller teams, that get more than a mousepad.

Is SixStrings talking about just in SC2, or in all eSports?

Good to read that Hasu qualified for WCS, forgot all about TLO being German.

This is sad to see I always enjoyed Socke's play and he was on Alternate for a long time Hope he finds a new team soon so he can continue to have a strong support system!

I´m not sure, where you got that information, but it is pretty wrong. HasuObs finished 2013 by achieving the 3rd place ín the Fragbite masters, beating 3 koreans on the way and started 2014 by qualifying for WCS in the first qualifier. He is pretty far away from retiring.

Socke has not retired either, he just left aTn. Showtime is in WCS and has eliminated Mvp from it last season. Heromarine, TLO, Krass, Lambo have all qualified for WCS as well and then there are still players like GoOdy/Tarra/Hanfy/Gungfubanda, who get pretty decent results online and making money there (for example in EPS) and from their established teams (Ai, ESC).
