What does that have to do with anything



Besides the fact that the race has been killed by the balance team?

Yes. A team manager has to weigh financials - competition winnings, media exposure and other potential financial streams.

Let's be conservative and assume a S-tier Protoss has the bargaining power of an A-tier Terran/Zerg. Based on last 2-3 year trends, the latter has a higher ROI. Slam-duck decision.

(This is to pre-empt anyone from going "Oh, but [insert name of B/C-tier Protoss] got into a team!". Apples and oranges. Parting is quite an outlier as he has other potential financial streams - including his, yes, streaming activity.)

He's actually stuck in a balance hellhole
1) He's a top tier player, no doubt about that
2) He doesn't win things and champs get much more exposure than runner ups
3) He doesn't stream/isn't a part time streamer

So we have a very good player, who has the right to ask for much monies, who doesn't win trophies and who isn't medially usable as a streamer. He's no MC or Parting, that's for sure. He's not exactly in a great negotiating spot. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to undersell himself and I bet people would love to get him as cheap as possible.

Exactly, being stuck as a Kong is an awkward place to be. Coincidental or not, it's mostly Protoss occupying this niche - Trap, Stats, and even Zest. Whilst even 'slumping' top Terrans and Zergs (S to A tier) can pull out a surprise win or two (Inno, Byun, soO, Rogue).

I was pretty shocked to be honest. I noticed it only today, when I saw in Super Tournament that Trap has no team. I thought it's a mistake until I looked it up in Liquipedia. Maybe it was inevitable, but I did not really that coming and I'm pretty worried about the Korean sc2 scene.

The surprise is its just the SC2 team that is disbanding. I read the headline and thought the airline was disbanding.
