Well it has to be an eSF team...Soul is gone so, I'd say FoU is next ><



Azubu would be a more reasonable guess, but they've already proven to be pretty resilient to death in the past.

I would bet on fOu, but it could also be Azubu...



Well if most of the eSF players move to Kespa teams, I hope they can make future rounds of PL Bo7, if not there will be a lot more players that we won't see...

It was bound to happen. The korean scene simply could not support that many teams and players. Hell, if it wasn't foreign teams and tournaments, it would have been a lot worse.

Yes I know, it's just that I hope this doesn't mean another big wave of retirements because eSF teams won't be recruiting and neither will Kespa teams because of the PL format... Well we'll see how all this pans out...



But I think eSF teams will need to send more of their players to foreign tourneys in order to get some visibility (for sponsors), because they could be overshadowed by proleague, which would means extra costs.

Not a really great example--those teams' sponsors didn't drop them, the sponsors themselves went out of business due to completely non-SC2-related reasons.



Agreed that it's likely AZUBU or fOu going down. Sigh. Not a really great example--those teams' sponsors didn't drop them, the sponsors themselves went out of business due to completely non-SC2-related reasons.Agreed that it's likely AZUBU or fOu going down. Sigh.

this. Way too many teams and SCII isn't as big as BW to get the big sponsor. Sad but at least the scene will be stronger once it stabilizes. this.
