Azubu confirmed their plan to fire all Azubu Korea employees and close down Azubu Korea by June 28. The future of SNS, streaming, and media services by Azubu is now unclear, but Team Azubu(SC2) will continue to be supported by German HQ.
The decision to completely withdraw from Korea was solely made by the HQ, and it has not been shared with Team Azubu at all.
Head Coach of Team Azubu "Lim Sungchoon" showed his frustration saying "I never heard about it", "We never got this info, I will have to check".
Those who have been following up with Esports contributor: Azuwho? thread would know that Azubu doesn't really have German HQ, and Azubu was run by Korean Office only. In fact, Azubu is just Korean company registered in Germany. They said they will continue to support Team Azubu, but for how long? 1 day notice to employees for disbanding the company? you gotta be kidding me..

The former oGs players must be curse or something.

Man those poor oGs guys just do not get a break.
I hope they all find teams.
Also, maybe now Supernova and Violet will stream on Twitch again so we can actually watch them. That Azubu streaming service was abysmal.

supernova nad symbol have been doing very very well recently.. hope they find a new team
|
wait so the team is gone? As in Supernova, Symbol, Violet etc are free? As in they're no longer in GSTL? No more smiley coach? No more "zuuubuuu!"?
man...
this sucks. I liked the team from the start, they were like neo-oGs 
|
Man, this whole AZUBU thing really became a mess once people discovered the scandal with money, and now the Korea division shuts down with no notice?

Alright EGTL, now is the time to poach some players!

I'm sure clauf will come to the rescue.

Man, this sucks. A company that seemed so big and eager in eSports could only have been too good to be true.

On a brighter note.
