On Dec. 2nd, Kim Dong-hwan, former coach of Prime, announced the official disbandment of Prime.

He stated, "I`d like to say thank you for all the cheers that fans gave to us. Also, I`d like to say sorry. I hope there will be no more innocent victims like me. I want to keep working for SC2 scene as long as circumstances permits."

Edit:

According to his post on DCinside Starcraft Gallery (Korean SC community), He was nominated as a new head coach of 2016 Prime.

He said Prime was going well before the scandal erupted; new uniforms, recruits (planning to ally with foreign teams), rebuilding, new sponsor and so on.

However, after the scandal, Shiycoms canceled it`s sponsorship and everything went wrong. - that`s how Prime disbanded.

Nothing is certain. Canata said it`ll begin in January.

Prime's death has been so dragged out, and so tarnished by scandal, that this feels more relieving than anything. At least things can't get worse now. No, there's just no possible way things can get any worse.

RIP Prime, you were my first team flair. Your sons Maru and Polt will carry on the best of your legacy. And maybe ByuN. Heck, possibly even Creator!

Well, this was to be expected. Interested to see what team will fill up the 8th slot (maybe KeSPA re-builds the 8th team?)

I'd imagine another Kespa-sponsored team a la Team 8.

Well this was bound to happen, whatever sponsors PRIME did have must have clearly jumped ship as fast as possible when details about the match fixing scandal broke. Was the only logical conclusion to close down the team imo.

I hope to see a new KESPA 8th team get revived for next year's proleague.

...this was to be expected and it was dragging out way too long but it's shocking nonetheless, and not only for a possbile 7-teams only Proleague next year... reading "Team Prime disbanded" is so weird and sad...

Gerrard probably sold it along with ByuN's PC.

It's insane how long they lasted compared to some other old school SC2 teams. oGs(T_T), IM, TSL, Slayers, Startale, fOu, ZeNEX, NSHS... Only MVP lives on.

MVP got that Chickenmaru power. Now they'll never die.

was inevitable, but sad nonetheless. gerrard always seemed to try so hard, but in the end all he could do was taint his team's legacy and throw it away.

Don't think so, SBENU is basically a direct continuation of Startale.
