Well, that's unfortunate. I feel bad for Ragnarok, but at least this happened before he took part in any major tourneys

I don't really get how you can go from offering a contract to someone to shutting down within a week
But oh well, good luck to everyone involve

Also curious. Though it does happen on larger scales too

While some teams are spontaneously made for the egos of individuals and then disbanded, Black Night was around for a couple years. It's possible that they used Ragnarok to secure a small sponsorship, and then pocketed it and disbanded. Or maybe they just really hated Ragnarok for some reason and wanted to stick it to him. All speculation though.

Sucks for sure, but there is something amusing to me about his name being ragnarock and them shutting down as soon as he joins.

I mean...didn't someone say "lol I bet this is one of those teams that will shut down in a couple weeks" in the original thread? Rough.

Wouldnt say they are a small no name team when they have a player like Vlad "Marsman" Popescu on their team, sad to see them go

They were actually around since 2018 and the owner seems to be a pretty good guy that really loves the scene. I'm pretty sure something happened in his life...otherwise why would they sign Ragnarok with the help of TitanEX1 just to disband a few days later?

Doesn't seem to add up...
