Now we really only have Jin Air still going. I know MVP said they're not disbanding but something seems off about that. Forte wasn't in his MVP gear for VSL. Pet doesn't seem to be in the team house when he streams and again, isn't in team gear. Then there's the fact there's MVP players streaming on Twitch. Didn't they have a deal with Azubu? | ||

Yeah, I thought Afreeca would want to keep a roster since they continue GSL ;; Ah well As for MVP, I think for now they're just waiting to see how the situation develops. I don't have high hopes though. | ||

Don't know how long JA will stick around either at this point. Will be an interesting year next year! | ||

All I wished for was seeing these guys life during my trip to Korea (which will be not before next year) Seems like this won't happen. | ||

I'm not gonna say GSL is invulnerable and they aren't puckering up but it's the tournament.

If you cant beat the koreans, just ruin everything SC2 related they have and kill the game in their country. GG Blizz, gg. Yeah because SC2 was totally OK then WCS happened and it suddenly died. | ||

I'm sad because it's all ending. I'm angry because the response to a lack of national tournaments was to ban Korean from other tournaments, leaving them with (at the time) only three premier tournaments. SSL and Proleague are owned by the same name, with Proleague gone and no SSL announcements at all I'm very worried for the future of Korean SC2. They can't survive on GSL and Home Story Cup | ||

. Farewell, Afreeca SC2. It is really tempting to blame the WCS lock although I am sure that I as a casual who's not deeply involved do not have the full picture. If only more people were interested. | ||
