(Update #2) The rumors have now been confirmed:

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

(Original) According to a post on Chinese forum scboy, (Wiki)Team NV will disband after the ongoing WTL 2022 Summer Season.

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.

Damn, this doesnt look good. I hope Creator and Bunny get into the better team.

P/s: I heard from Nakajin saying that one new team has just created from scratch.

It would be great if Onsyde can get as many of them as possible, create the NV 2.0

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 (Wiki)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.

That's kind of crappy news to hear while NV is going on a streak in the playoff, but I'm guessing the players already knew ahead of time.
very illegal and very uncool

The reason is the team owner's discontent with the state of the game...

It's more like the state of his team. He himself doesn't communicate, that's the issue.

I thought the reason why Maru and Crank left was the team financial limitation and the Owner health?

Wow this is huge news. Sad to see Team NV was so short-lived after having major success the past two years.

Wonder where the players eventually up at.

They're doing really good at WTL playoffs thus far. Would be quite a sight if they ended up winning it all just before the disbanding too.

Team NV needs a better logo

I think I know the real reason NV disbanded.
They couldn't come up with a logo that satisfied zFaR_Destiny.

Great effort by NV in the playoffs! I hope all players find a new team soon.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

after what, 10 years? I stopped watching and visit this forum like once a month? Maybe he's in a similar boat.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

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
