One of the teams that participated in both seasons of China Team Championship has closed doors, as Ocean Gaming's StarCraft division is now disbanded.

(Z)TooDming announced the news on his weibo.



(T)SpeCial announced via his twitter that he is now a free agent.

(P)Zest is now also teamless, but with his military service deadline approaching, his next move is currently unclear.

Very sad news. At least a replacement stands ready with Dragon Phoenix Gaming for all the team events.

Yeah currently P1 and OG are out of the picture, one or two other teams might not be participating as well.

And that means that there will be new teams joining (besides DPG) or that CTC is going to adopt a new format for the league and stay with the teams we have now + DPG?

Rumor is Parting and Firefly are moving to DPG. Fantasy's future is currently up in the air.

A LPL team was also in talks but there hasn't been any update on which team it is and how it is progressing so don't actually expect anything right now.
