Regardless of the situation, we will still action upon "dead game" comments. As this is a sensitive issue for SC2 fans, please do not come into this thread and talk about SC2 players switching over to BW. This thread is also not about bashing Blizzard, David Kim, or the WCS system.

We all heard it was coming but damn, this is crazy. There is no longer an SKT1 Starcraft Progaming team, or KT, or most of the others...I'm at a loss

About the disband of those teams, we can expect that : many KOR players like Innovation, Dark, Stats etc were playing online cups these days, and usually it's forbidden to play those cups when you are in a Kespa Team.

Makes sense for afreeca since they still have a bit invested in the success of SC2. If WCS opens boarders in 2017 then this can be great for their team internationally.

I wonder how many of these players will leave the game without a salary.

The rise of SC2 is coming back to the roots of gaming, reaching out to basement nerds and byun-like players to ascend without structured help.

You're probably right, all that might be left in Korea are the most hardcore of hardcore.

I remember attending the Proleague finals in Busan in 2008 where Firebathero did his crazy throw-rice-and-jump-in-the-water ceremony. It's heartbreaking to see the end of such joy.

The black box of KeSPA is coming to an end! This could be really good news actually and pave the way for more equal competition world wide. It's up to Blizzard to step up an ensure that Koreans are given enough opportunities to survive.

Hate to say I told you so, but you didn't want to hear it and here you go. Game is totally not dying.

Really sad to hear this. Grew up with proleague...

(Somewhat selfishly) hoping this doesn't cause a mass exodus to the foreign scene.

if that is the case, there is the possibility for a worldwide proleague of sorts that is able to mix korean and foreigner team rosters and breeding players from the ladder in tournaments and whatnot. It would actually be a good way to garner more attention and increase the playerbase for SC2

No, the worst was Blizzard deciding to keep renewing David Kim's contract. This is a close second though.
