Thank you Seeker for translating the thisisgame article.

On January 3rd, 2012, TSL's head coach, Lee Woon Jae, called This Is Game and stated that "it is time to face reality. It has become far too difficult for this team to continue going on. We have decided to disband."
TSL was a team that was formed with the announcement of SC2 WoL. The team launched alongside beta test prodigies Fruitdealer, and TricKsteR.
TSL received a big blow on their roster when Fruitdealer and TricKsteR left. However, TSL then went on to birth even more talents like Polt (teamless), Clide (KT Rolster coach), Killer (MVP team captain), Revival (EG), and JYP (EG) to try to stay alive in the SC2 scene.
Later on, TSL still hung on through the difficult times. They took in MBC HERO's HyuN and Symbol who received an all kill for the GSTL and kept the team's appearance alive. TSL was looking pretty good with decent GSTL placements and HyuN grabbing a Code S finalist spot for the 2012 GSL Season 5. Polt won multiple foreign tournaments and the TSL roster was full of talented and promising players.
However, with the recent losses of Polt and Revival, fans began to wonder if TSL was in trouble or not. Coach Lee revealed that "with our most recent player losses and difficulty in finding sponsors, we had no choice but to disband TSL."
Therefore, HyuN, Symbol, Shine, Center, and RagnaroK are now teamless. Coach Lee stated that "the players did not want the team to disband but none the less, understood the current situation at hand and accepted my decision. They were sorry to see the team go like this."
Coach Lee's final statement was "These players all hold tremendous talent and are sincere than any other players out there. I really hope other teams out there will help so that they find new teams soon.
Update 3:
A bit of unrelated information, but important none the less.

| Yep, they're gone. The coach mentions he couldnt find any sponsors and the core players kept leaving, so he decided to call it quits. Nothing new here. |

If you think the end of 2012 was bad for SC2.. wait for the end of 2013. I don't see things doing better than what they were back in 2011. |

I think OP can take out question mark.
It is pretty much confirmed by now  . First, Parting leaves startale, MJ disbands (T.T B4), then TSL???

| Oh man, losing Polt and Revival was so key. I hope that KeSPA wasn't behind this. GL to the team/players/management. |

| Interesting starting to the year. As disappointing as it is for TSL to be disbanding, I am mildly intrigued to see where all these free agents suddenly land. Could make for some interesting teams. |

Ouch...
with the end of 2012 I guess many sponsorships ended and thus teams are forced to disband. Given this is true, we would have Parting and Hyun (and Symbol) as free-agents. |
