Well that was to be expected.



Rip in laptop pieces.

Time has come to say farewell ...
Today I raise the voice with a crying and a laughing eye to the world. Crying, because an era comes to an end: Team Acer will cease to exist. Laughing, because each project also has to come to an end and we all who were involved can look back at 5 successful years.
I want to thank all my current and former players and staff for their commitment and wish them all, especially the current athletes, a very successful future career in esports. I must also acknowledge the outstanding support we got from fans all over the world and I would be pleased if all of them would continue to cheer for the players, regardless where they play in the future. Last but not least I would like to thank Acer, who has made this project possible during the last 5 years.
I know that many of you are wondering and speculating about the reason, but as in all walks of life as well the modern e-sports is subject to change. Plans and strategies change and projects start and will be terminated.
And that is exactly what happened today with Team Acer.

In this sense, let me say again: A big thank you to players, staff, fans and sponsors and let us never forget the last 5 years.

It's really-really sad. Mostly because Bly started showing amazing results once again. I hope that both Scarlett and Bly will find a new hive.

From first observation of this news, I would imagine all of them. I can't think of any Taiwanese companies that have title sponsorship of foreign teams now that Acer is gone.

Yes it's totally WCS' fault for the ENTIRE Acer team shutting down. Those darn WCS rules killing FIFA esports.
Flying on the Jin Air hype plane. Lets go Maru, Rogue, sOs and the handsome CJ herO

Legendary team. Without Acer, European SC2 would have looked a lot worse.
