I'm surprised for ST doesn't change back its name. I saw curious wearing that old "we need sponsor" black shirt during Bomber's stream on Douyu. I expected they would change back to ST.

lotv and new wcs is really looking like the final blow done to sc2. most bungled esport title? Id have to give that nod to cs source, but sc2 is a whole different example of incompetence. Shame we cant really discuss these issues here seriously though.

No matter what happens, everyone is blaming the new wcs system... If North Korea nukes the South tomorrow it´s also the new WCS that weakend Korea so much that Kim Jong Un saw his chance eh?
I´m just mad at Sonic and if I had to choose between droping my lol team or Sc2 team I would drop my Sc2 team aswell. Where are the Pitchforks guys, can´t we just be sad and torch SBENU for a bit?

I don't know new wcs is success or false( because it's just started), at least I can say lotv is better game than wol/hots.

Things are looking good for brood war though. Again, similar to cs source, the original and more well polished esport outlasts the new kid on the block despite the marketing and hype. it all boils down to the competitive gameplay and viability in the end.

I disagree. lotv feels like an unrefined amateur custom game. Cool concepts but really bad execution.

I think the team should rebrand to Team Adept, and everyone should switch to Protoss. I think Bomber would approve.

No, people haven't fully figured the game out. It needs time, and clearly it's getting better. Today's GSL proves it imo.

Very sad but hardly surprising
Kinda sad that all the lower/poorer teams seem to be falling off while SKT could probably field a second 4-man squad and make it to playoffs with both

I hope these players get a real sponsor soon

I hope they will find a new sponsor soon, but since even LoL teams struggled to find sponsors during the off-season I'm pretty worried about it.

Well, I guess Afreeca were looking to pick up players / a team?

the solution for this should be letting SKT buy them and let them become SKT T2
or let Blizzard/David Kim sponsor it and call them team Adept, Bomber would approve
but in all seriousness, I think SBENU is a team with a lot of potential and young talents, if team SBENU dies then we just lose most of our hopes for new blood

Well first SBENU dumped their BW Starleague over their Sc2 sponsorships, now they dump that to keep their Lol sponsorship. It makes sense ofc, Lol is the biggest game in Korea, but it's sad.

Besides, Riot pays $2K per player; it costs less.

Don't be silly. The WCS changes are far, FAR worse

Seriously though. I kind of get where KeSPA is coming from and there's really two people to blame if SBENU are locked out of Proleague. Sonic of course...and Gerard.

I think that's the problem, not the fact that SBENU might fold, I don't think KeSPA would allow that to happen if they let them play , but they're scared of another PRIME scenario. An noncompetitive team, short on money that figures it's going to lose any way and with the changes to the scene there's not much hope anywhere else, why not make some money before I go?
There is no understanding. There is only Choya. Choya is the way. Choya is Love. Choya is Life. Has is the Light in the Protoss Dark and Nightmare is his chosen Acolyte
