Not really going to make a long drawn out and sentimental post like I did in 2010 when I closed LighT for the first time.

The reasonings here are different, and primarily personal. A lot of people who know me know that I was involved in a lot of different things (NASL, CSL, Fnatic/LighT, and other things). Over the past year I've been cutting down the number of commitments, as I get more involved in things, my time goes down.

For me, CSL is a full time job, and really it's more than that. It's the primary focus of my life right now and unfortunately this means that I really don't have the time to manage LighT the way it should be managed.

Funding is not really an issue, but I'm at a point where I can continue the team on a status-quo basis, and frankly I'm not rich and that just wouldn't be a smart way to use my money. The investment is worth it if I had the time to do the necessary things: help build my players personalities, help attain sponsorships, help the development, work on marketing, etc. Right now though, I don't have the time to do that, so I've decided to close down the team.

2012 was a really great year, I had Golden live with me, Binski stayed with me during the summer, and StarDust during the fall. I really enjoyed the team and everyone on it and view them all as family and hope they feel the same.

I've been thinking about it for the past 3 weeks or so since the CSL Finals ended.

So ya, that's that for now.

Much love to
* Tilea, Binski, Caliber, Heavens, Ursadon, Cyrus, Fox - who were the original Kiwiclones that made up LighT

* Gerbil, Rocker, Aquanda, Kumiho, Zoia, Saikou, Moose, RaNgeD, Cedstick - the new guys and staff that helped make the team possible

* Golden <3

* SeoHyeon <3

* StarDust for being a great roommate and the coolest Korean I've known, and for teaching me a lot of Korean words I was so happy to see you win ESET! I want to see you win again

* KawaiiRice - I can't really think of being on a team without you (lol, we've been on the same team since 2008, crazy;;. I'm sorry we couldn't do everything we wanted with LighT.

Gonna miss Light, but hopefully everything works out for the best. It was a very talented group of players so I'm sure those folks will find new homes in no time

Sorry to hear, but better to let it go than to do it without the commitment you feel it deserves.

You say funding is not the problem, but you didn't try to find a manger for the team in your stead?

I've liked LighT ever since they restarted the team for SC2, so this is really sad news.
I hope everyone involved finds a new home soon.
