(Update #1) More details on the source from digmouse, lending it credibility:

The team's Instagram account, which they used to communicate official information, seems to have been deleted already.
I've asked one of WTL's admins about this, who told me that they hadn't received any official information about this from the team yet.
Founded in 2020, Team NV won WTL 2021 Summer and became one of the most prominent South Korea teams in the scene with many former players of Jin Air Green Wings ending up on their roster after the latter disbanded.

Also I guess this opens the gate for potential Chinese teams? Scboy has been asking if founder of one of their main sponsors, former Dignitas pro DreAm has any interest in setting up a team and lack of players was one of the reason he stated.
Ahh, yea that's true, the HSC team! Man, next season qualifier could be crazy.
I would'nt be against a bit of a consolidation of teams tbh. With Onside comming to the league, Basilics wanting to form a team, the chinese team Digimouse is talking about, the PSISTORM manager saying that he want to add a zerg and a couple of team that could be looking to had a player or two (GP, AF, DPG), I feel there's an opportunity to lure in the few remaining European outside of the WTL and maybe transfer player from weaker team to stronger teams (Has come to mind).

In fact, she is a member of club NV，So I think we can be sure that what she said is true。
As he said, Team NV will disband after WTL playoffs, all players will remain as members of 'Club NV' and is free to join new teams. so this weekend is the last WTL for Team NV.
hm.. I mean Maru and Crank left NV because the team was struggling so little wonder. STill, always sad. They went from something of a joke team to a powerhouse.

whats wrong with state of the game? it seems that strategy and gameplay wise game is in good spot, with every race able to win at any point in the game.

after what, 10 years? I stopped watching and visit this forum like once a month? Maybe he's in a similar boat.
So how is the relegation/ qualifier working now for the next season? I see 2 possible solutions: 1 only SSLT drops out and the qualifier runs as intended 2 both SSLT and Plat Heros Drop out and the qualifier allows 3 teams to re qualify
EPT
Team NV will disband after the ongoing WTL 2022 Summer Season.
