desRow, Everize and JEcho were all released from the team. Maker already having parted ways with Pulse, leaves only Kane and HelloKitty remaining on the A team.

I feel like I should clarify a few things here.
First off, the reason for the downsize was due to sponsor negotiations where the sponsors didn't feel comfortable with the contracts we had in place for some of the starcraft players as it gave them freedom that could end up reflecting poorly on them. As a result, we would have to offer new contracts or terminate the contracts in order to get the sponsors to agree.
Couple this with the fact that we are also now covering console teams and it makes it more worthwhile to focus on a smaller core group of starcraft players in larger tournaments, than to have a larger group in team leagues.
Anyway, I know we're probably going to take some flak for this and I think it's justified. But I just ask that people understand that surviving in this industry requires working with sponsors and in many cases they are in a dominant position. We bear no ill will toward any of the players we have released and wish them the best of luck.

I don't think anyone saw this coming....

Well that was was fast wonder why.
|
Ridiculous. Poor players.

Not sure why they let jEcho or Everize go. Either funds are lacking or there's a miscommunication of what was agreed upon, I don't know.
|
... why bother having a team if you're not going to have a team?

My rule of thumb is, if they give you an ETA on a site - or an ETA on anything without preemptively securing you something don't even bother. I feel bad for these players, but I assume they didn't have a contract... And for how good/well known most of them are I see this to be just something they rushed into. Though, the players are the victims so you can't blame them. I hope they find new homes and prosper; and on the other hand teams like this, those that assure others something they can't provide, stop showing up in the scene.
(of course, assuming the implied facts here are correct!)

damn, that seems messed up for the players :X
|
desRow..... why anyone would hire him in the first place with all the evidence of his attitude floating around is beyond me.
|
lol. so many freaking flakes in the community. you either do it right or you don't do it at all.
just makes the entire scene look bad, deters other people from doing a better job and wastes players' time.
