Nerchio's exclusive statement for TeamLiquid:

"Unfortunately I decided to part ways with Team Acer because our expectations are different for 2016 in which I would like to participate in as many events as possible. I will continue playing Starcraft2 and you can watch me play just in a couple of days, teamless already, at Dreamhack Leipzig! Please continue supporting me in the future as I do not plan to stop stop playing Starcraft2. I am motivated to play Legacy of the void so you can expect a lot from me in the upcoming months!"

Still not fully sure why he's leaving, but he did change his twitter handle a few days ago so this isn't totally unexpected.

So they have different expectations of SC2 for 2016, I wonder if that is code for Acer not thinking highly of SC2, since Nerchio has been winning a lot of online cups recently vs talented players (Koreans included).

Either way, best of luck to Nerchio!

"We decided to part ways on good terms as our expectations of StarCraft 2 are different for 2016. Joining Acer was probably the biggest breakthrough in my career. As I continue to play StarCraft 2 I hope the future brings as much success as I had before."

Sounds like Acer is going to close down their SC2 division

possibly just a personal sponsorship for Scarlett, but no word from either her or Bly about it. Acer was such a supportive and successful team, this comes as a big surprise.

Really surprising. No idea what it means that they have different expectations. Anyway, I will always cheer for Artur and he will still destroy the foreign scene this year I think .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Acer dropping out of SC2ITL, since now they don't have enough players to play in it. It appears they aren't going to replace Nerchio sadly

Adept.Nerchio. Obviously he's joining Bomber's team!
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I will always keep Acer in mind. Scarlett, MMA, Innovation, #blyOnFire, Nerchio... if they really drop sc2, well, then be it. They supported a lot of players I adore.
