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. | ||

I'm just really tired of teams disbanding due to that 1 passionate financial backer pulling out or losing sponsors that see no ROI. 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
