Is Alien Invasion same as Invasion? The shady business that recruited some Koreans recently?

No. Invasion esports is a different thing.

No Ai is a respectable team that's been around forever. Invasion is a separate possibly shady business

Nah, AI is an older, more reputable organization. They've been quite supportive for quite some time. Sad to see them go.

Meh, TBH with the disbanding of much bigger teams, I'm not at all surprised that these fringe teams are shutting down.

Still sad news though, I wonder how (if at all possible) these smaller teams could stay financially afloat in the long-term. I'm just really tired of teams disbanding due to that 1 passionate financial backer pulling out or losing sponsors that see no ROI.

Oftentimes we only remember the bad news.

This is not very different to far larger sports where teams are mainly runned by one company/oligarch or any other privater:
Think about Chelsea or AS Monaco. Without their oligarch, where would they be? Or in Formula 1, where would Force India go, when Mallyia leaves it.
Where would SKT be when SKT leaves the Esport?

Teams will allways come and leave. Thats normal. But still sad.

Yep.

Can't wait for LotV.

IEM was brilliant.

Dreamhack excellent.

Redbull ran a super tournament through the year aswell.

OOOH Homestory Cup (how dare you parting!!).

Copa America.. The Taiwan esports scene is booming.. TeSL. GSL returning in '15. FragBite Masters, Code A. BasetradeTV with more coverage than you can usually watch on its own (nah.. who am I kidding there! More please). Pughy, Madals.. The foreigners catching up... Demuslim in love with nathanias (it's true). Destiny ran his own event. Kespa still there, still being Kespa! Gfinity! Go4SC2...

Holy shit I can't even remember them all.

They seem to be referring to an upcoming RTS game they know about. I'm curious about that.

"until the next big RTS title will come up in which we want to compete"

so you support a game for exactly as long as its on the top of the train and drop it right afterwards?
players sholdnt join your team then, since you will drop the game sooner or later anyway, right?

I don't think you could really argue that SC2 was ever at the top of anything, but it's been a few years since it was at the peak of its popularity. It sounds like they stuck it out for far longer than they would have if all they wanted to do was bandwagon something.

I wish teams like this would try to retain a clan status or something like that. Try not to completely let go of what Ai meant as a tag, and just withdraw for a bit. Disband is such a hard cut.
