I don't think you guys understand what's going on here?
Tbatz was putting up his own money to fund Deimos and couldn't do it anymore. The DETL was a last ditch effort to attempt at sustainability. They weren't expecting it to be a smash success but they were hoping it would be. I'm quite confident it was known that unless the DETL got them noticed by a big sponsor, they would be closing up shop.
That's why it would be incredibly stupid to accept rifkin's offer; maybe it would have been better for them in the long-haul if they were committed to 3-4 seasons of DETL (though I still doubt it), but they needed sponsors for Deimos immediately. They didn't get any, and so are closing up shop.
Everyone knows how to slowly build an audience. That's not what Deimos needed. They needed a miracle season and they didn't get one. Now they're gone. I'm at peace with that. But when you're looking to get your company noticed, you don't put another company's sign on your door.

Does this mean that Deimos has just shut down its professional roster and going back to a lower-league clan or has it just exterminated completely?
