its an end of an era, thats for sure. Not much good that can be said about this. Just more bad news. Regardless though, thanks for the memories...

MVP was taking a "Wait and See" approach for WCS 2017 before they made a choice I think. So either they got tired of waiting....or they know something we don't


Most likely delayed announcement

Probably the comment about the 10/10 game overwatch


Sad to hear but not surprising that MVP disbanded, i doubt that JinAir will keep a roster tbh

I have a feeling that you're being sarcastic.

But if I'm wrong, it's because he generalized the OW demographic as 12 year olds. I would be surprised if this post passed the shit posting test.

I wasn't being sarcastic, Overwatch clearly is a game designed for mass appeal.

Being a Starcraft II fan is tough these days. Wow.

But - is anyone really surprised at this point?

Sad but hardly surprising seeing how the players and coaches left the teamhouse and didn't show up in gear/under team tag. MVP's announcement was/is clearly "let's wait and see" but the news are not coming out so...

Well, I guess Koreans prefer LoL and Overwatch nowadays. Not much could be done if Blizzard do not see a point to change this.

I wonder if SC2 could gain more popularity in the future without the teams. I've always thought that Kespa's way of doing things was too damaging to the scene; not letting players stream, not cooperating with other organizations, not allowing talent to play in certain tournaments, pushing teams to emphasize Proleague over individual tournaments, and basically keeping a restrictive leash over everyone.

Brood War was diminishing significantly during the transition period (don't get me wrong, it was still popular and I know there were many factors including Blizzard pushing the transition), but I think the freedom of the players after the Kespa leash was... unleashed... allowed the scene to bloom to what it is now. Obviously people love Brood War too, but people love Starcraft 2 as well. I truly hope that the same can happen to Starcraft 2, and that it could have a second wind.

Either that or Warcraft 4 comes out I guess.

Its really surprising MVP of all teams dropped their SC2 roster despite holding onto two (or three if their 3rd one still exists) DOTA rosters despite its complete deadness in Korea. I guess that's what happens when one branch can compete internationally and the other is barely allowed to

If the regions are open maybe.

If not, how can a scene get popular if it's only played at most 4-6 times a year?

A legendary team disbands. This truly speaks to the current state of SC2 as an e-sport.
