Now Alternate has no members left?

Doesn't bode well if such a long existing and respected clan closes their sc2 division.

They just lost their LoL division recently too - it wouldn't surprise me if this is the beginning of the end for Alternate.

well, german teams just dont hadle sc2 correctly I think. They pick up very few players just because theyre single prestige, but dont have a complete Lineup like international teams. That way its more a sponsorship than a team, being unable to compete in teamleagues.

like Ai, ESC or mouz?

TaKe just said on his stream that he knows that Socke already found a new team, but he ofc can't tell us which team it is yet. He said it's time to speculate about that now

Grr...


Than my bet is on XMG as well.

He is not retiring and already has something "in the works"
https://www.facebook.com/Sockeh/posts/685392381491798?stream_ref=10

Hey guys&girls, small update here from me regarding my current situation since some people were wondering if I'm retiring or sth.
Even though I am indeed getting a bit old (D, there is no need to worry about me giving up SC yet. I already have something in the works, and I'm really looking forward to the upcoming competition.
2013 didn't go too well overall after a pretty ood start in january, but this year is gonna be better again!
Big thanks to everybody whos been supporting me throughout the years.
So long,
Giacomo 'Socke' Thüs

Maybe he didn't have the best results in individual tournaments 2013 but I remember how he did tear up ATC and even after they disbanded he managed to help them beat up TL.

I very much doubt Socke leaving Alternate has anything to do with the state of Starcraft. Alternate also lost their LCS team to Millenium, and Socke has already found a new team/sponsor, so it reflects more on Alternate, than it reflects on SC2.

obligatory Grubby.Socke post.


This would probably crash the internet due to awesomeness overload
I figured out the EG Curse. It was set in motion by Voodoo Shamans working for Millenium. Whenever EG aquires a player, Voodoo energies start slowly draining skill from the EG guy into an Millenium newcomer. Think about it!
