This days I see a lot of starcraft's pieces disappear and I fear we can't always say that it's wcs' fall...

Damn, I didn't expect that, Acer seemed to be a very strong team overall with a lot of players.

all of esports is dying ?_?

E-sports is like American soccer. I've been hearing about an imminent breakthrough since the US World Cup in early 90s. It has yet to happen. I believe MLS is still losing money. Hasn't stopped rich people from throwing money at it.

you can't really compare soccer to esports, soccer has been around for generations and just isn't traditionally popular in america whereas esports is something that's growing because it never existed before (and is also many different games whereas soccer is one!)

Unfortunate but not unexpected. Hopefully Scarlett and Bly find new teams soon. Best of luck to both.

Bye Acer, thanks for supporting SC2 over the years.

They did have teams in multiple games, but SC2 was their main game as far as I can tell. SC2 players earned 91% of their overall prize money earnings according to this site. So it's quite possible this does have something to do with the current state of SC2.

I'll really miss Acer and MMA. They gave him new life after the SlayerS debacle. GG

Sad to see more and more teams leaving.
Sc2 scene was already small compared to other games and is getting smaller every month...

Good bye Team Acer, thank you for all the years put in the team. Don't know about the logistics of why the team is being closed but i'm sure it was well thought out before coming to this.

Acer was one of the coolest SC2 teams ever. Thanks for being a pillar of the community for so long, and I wish you all the best in whatever you do next.

It's such a weird combination.

Pretty much the cheapest and the worst PC brand, but its esports team is pretty damn solid with some of the best players around.

Thank goodness, coz acer sucks really, but that's too bad for the players. I hope they find great homes soon.

I'm so sad! I know with the direction their roster was going that this was expected. Still, now that it's actually done I'm floored.

Lots of great moments by this team and it's players. It left a big mark in sc2. Thanks for the memories, Team Acer.

just to add to ur point...
American soccer has been "breaking through" since 1975. Pele attracted a lot of sellouts and the #1 European football video game was NASL Soccer.... 40+ years and lots of rich people who love european football keep throwing money down the drain.
