+ Show Spoiler + seriously uhh, my best guess is that it's estro. or hite. According to netizens: hite - CJ now owns OGN. They'd be operating two teams. estro - ieg only came in here for broadcasting rights. Now that gretech got the rights, they have no reason to stay. | ||

I would NEVER have guessed! =O + Show Spoiler + Yep, Hite and Estro are my top guesses as well. Would be somewhat shocked if it turned out to be any other team. | ||

hwaseung seems to have a rather low budget for their team, so they may cut it totally wemade is creating games and if their games arent succesful they must lower their budgets and their games are definitely not famous in europe although they did some advertising but dont know about korea it may also be mbc. they always sold top players so their budget must also be low, additionally i feel like their studio is never full. maybe the whole channel is going to be closed stx could also be it as they dont even have an own house and they never really won anything big. but again they seem so stable i dont think its hite as they are owned by the bigger channel estro may look like a poor team, but they have always been consistent even if they performed rather poorly | ||

Both teams lost very important players thanks to the Matchfixing Scandal and are generally bad teams IMO. The only reason eStro is even winning matches is thanks to Sea.Really, one of my favorite terrans  | ||

But I totally predict that Blizz ain't gonna do shit. The truth is: They DON'T CARE!!! it would be sick if blizz bought a team. It would cost them like 0.001% of their wow monthly income. | ||

Seriously.. Hite was already sentenced to disappear with all the match fixing scandal, and having 3 players out, also the coach was fired, etc I bet on Hite, and the signal of its extinction will be when Leta gets an agreement with other team on the FA season coming soon | ||

samsung stx Woongjin Those are the only four that I would think have a probability of disbanding, would be surprised with any other team. Hoping everything sorts out for said team. I see people posting ACE, that would be very sad. | ||

KT - No, they have Flash. Also they just won the title. They have a huge fanbase. Again, just won title for first time, have the best player in the game, and are run by a big company who is big into esports. SKT1 - Again, no. They have Bisu. They have a huge fanbase. They spend more money than any other team, so I see no reason why they would randomly fold. No way. CJ - No. Big company. Big support group. Always good. Have marketable players even if Savior screwed up Hwaseung OZ - No. They might be a small team, but they have Jaedong. He's the first/second best player on the planet, so he's marketable. Without him, I might think they could fold, but there is 0 chance with Jaedong on board. STX Soul - Eh, I don't think so. They still have a decent amount of good players: Calm, Hero, Kal, and they still have July/Tossgirl for the marketable standpoint. Hwasin got caught, and he was loved by the teen girls, but I don't think that's a reason for them to quit. MBC Hero - They just had a pop star have a reality show about him learning Starcraft with their team. Also owned by a gaming channel. They have money. They love their team. No way they dump them. Stars - I don't think so. They have Zero, Free, and Kwanro. From what I've seen, they have a big fanbase and have lots of fans show up to their fan meetings, etc. They aren't going to be bad next year, and they could make the playoffs, etc. Samsung KHAN - lolno. They're the second/third most historic franchise behind SKT1/KT. Stork is still one of the most loved players, and I'm sure he's marketable for the company. WeMade Fox - Eh, they could, but they just made the playoffs. They have Baby and other players that are becoming really good. They also have Nada, etc. It could be them, but it would be a shock. Airforce ACE - No. They are already recruiting for next season with FBH, etc, so I'm pretty damn sure they're not the team folding. Estro - One of the two teams I can see folding. They really don't have any marketable person; they aren't a huge team; they really don't look like they'll be able to compete next season. Those three things make me think that they could get dumped. hite SPARKYZ - The lead team, obviously. Three of their best players got kicked out forever. Their most marketable player, and captain, filed for FA in Leta. After those four, they basically have NOTHING. If Leta left, they would be worse than Airforce ACE next season. Even with Leta, they'll suck. Also, with OGN/CJ in cahoots, they aren't as important as they once were to OGN. | ||
