Korean journalist Ethan Ahn reports that Azubu will shut down its Korean eSports division. AzubuTV however will still function.

At the time, only SuperNoVa and BBoongBBoong remain as active players on the roster. The majority of the team's players had already been released or had left beforehand.

Despite the media and public backlash the team in itself has lasted longer than what most people predicted

Supernova is going to get picked up so quickly imo I wouldn't be worried. Not so sure about B4 though. Then again I thought Symbol would be picked up almost instantly as well

Yep. He could have rejoined Prime after the closing of his other ill-fated team MJ Team

I hope Symbol, Ragnarok, and Supernova come to SPL. I'd like to hope to IM, but I doubt that's happening now. It's either original Kespa teams or foreign I'd say.

They lasted infinite times longer than I thought they would, so props to the best team owned by a finical scam since M5 for that.

With the mass exodus of players spanning a good few months was to be expected. Honestly wouldn't be all that surprised to see azubutv shutdown in the near future too.

I imagine he wouldn't want to go back to the team that kicked him, on top of the fact that they already have TY.

I'd rate him better than Flash but the Ho would probably get more playtime anyway

I don't think KT would be the best team for a -pretty solid- Terran. Samsung KHAN Galaxy (w/e their name is) seems a lot better of a fit, as Reality is their best Terran. But I think a Kespa team is pretty unlikely, and I'd be expecting to see a foreign team pick him up very shortly.

I can't believe team Azubu lasted this long.

I feel really bad for Supernova, the guy seriously has the worst luck when it comes to teams. I think actually Team Liquid should pick him up and SAVE him, cause he's super talented and at this rate he's gonna retire. Team Liquid has 1 terran at this point and Supernova knows the liquid guys and even lived with them in the "liquid house" at some point.

Hang on Supernova!!

What gives you the impression that azubu was a bad team?

Other than the fact that nobody knows where the money is coming from, it's had zero scandals or anything... At least suno avoided apex esports, lol

Not a surprise.

I bet Supernova will be able to find a team, but if anyone picks up B4 in the near future, I'd be surprised. There are quite a few good players on the free agent list right now, and B4 just hasn't had the results in quite some time. Still, GL to him. I did enjoy him back when he was in his/on Prime.

Can't say that I am surprised, honestly. They lasted a good while and had good players though, so it's kinda sad still. Hopefully the two players can transition out no problem to a new team and keep playing.

Yeah, I was so sure they were going to pick him up when they played in gstl right after ogs disbanded and SuNo was living with the liquid boys, I'm hoping they rectify their mistake and get him now.

And yet it seems that it's the foreign teams that need distrust, not azubu... Lygf, quantic, apex, mtw, mym, etc... Not a single azubu player (former or current) has accused them of anything... And azubu has had other teams without scandals there either...


No one said foreign teams werent scams, but if you think AZUBU is a legitimate business....I mean come on man


I'm not trying to say its an all above the board super legit business but it at least treats its players well

I would think there's more opportunity on foreign teams, but then again there are a lot of good Koreans without teams playing in WCS AM and EU. Not sure though, good luck to them finding new teams. Maybe SuperNova to CJ?? They could use a Terran.
There are things known, and things unknown, and in-between are the doors.

Entirely expected, but, amusingly enough, Azubu has been more stable and reliable than almost every other team that tried to get into SC2. I mean, they're even giving us warning a month in advance. Usually when a team disbands everyone thinks they're doing okay until they suddenly implode and a bunch of players don't have a home anymore.

I guess it's a bit sad, but it's probably best for everyone.. I mean - I thought that Patience was still on Azubu, but apparently he wasn't.. Was it Ai he's on now ??

The other guys should have no worry IMO, they're are really good pickups to be made..

Remember the days back when Violet joined Azubu, and everyone was - who the f*ck are they ??, yeah, sad I guess.. The Korean scene still is alive and kicking in though.. KeSPa and SPL f.t.w.. Think GSL still is up right ??, only that the Team league won't work I suspect..
Another world, another place, another universe, won the race.. :) ;) :P

Ok i just finished read it and other than we don't know what they are doing i don't see why they are criminals. They have someone that's been accused of fraud but he ins't CEO of Azubu no ? It was a little complex for me to read so maybe i read wrong.

And maybe it's not the place to talk about that ?

Lot of good players on this team now available for pick up. Supernova will be grabbed quick.

Sad to see some of the previous Azubu players like Symbol not getting picked up, true veteran players.
Could see SuNo going to a team soon. Liquid perhaps? They need another KR Terran powerhouse.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

Apparently we consider it foreign cause its foreign owned. Imo the team is 100% Korean. In CS for example, SK was considered a Swedish team at times even though it is German owned.

On the one hand, I'm glad that we finally have THE premier teamleague in Korea with (almost) all teams participating. On the other hand I had really wished that this league would include like 12+ teams, not 8 T.T. Goodbye Azubu, maybe make team Clauf to give Starcraft some more money?
