I'm sure a huge part of that was TB's influence and the starcraft channel he operates/clan wars ect but I feel this is a bit quick to pull the plug. Eitherway It's a sad day best of luck to all involved. I don't believe he ever said that. We were almost to the point where they could break even, but not yet. We were seeking ways to keep the team going, but with his CT results it is now time for John to focus his time, money, and energy on his upcoming treatment and his family. | ||

I am saddened by this news, TB's condition and the team closure. Though I never met an Axiom member in person and 'know' them only by interviews, I felt a team spirit incomparable to other teams. But all this is overshadowed by the cancer. | ||

He always claimed that Axiom cost him no money and it was self sufficient. He even flamed other people who didn't believe him. | ||

I just feel like the plug was pulled rather quickly, which is understandable if the majority of the money is coming out of his pocket/efforts but it's supposedly not. Since you do read TL and respond what does this mean for the majority of the players then end of the road? Military? Back to education or other work? | ||

Since you do read TL and respond what does this mean for the majority of the players then end of the road? Military? Back to education or other work? Yeah if I'm recalling correctly about who the sponsor would have been the next sponsor we had in the works it would have been profitable, but so many things came up we never signed papers with them. So, we would have been but at the time of the disbanding it was not. Also given how that post is from April, it's been 6 months since then and tons of things have changed. Our performance wasn't good and a revamp for proleague means more investing/more members and it's just not reasonable to do that anymore. Anyways, let's not sour this ending with management simulator 2015. CranK is retiring (see other thread).

I'm not popular and big streamer but I'll keep it up to support my wife and the family that my best friends John and Genna made. Showing John and Genna all Axiom members are doing well after Axiom disbands is our job to make them relief. Ryung and Heart will be looking for new teams and we will help them with their search. | ||
