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. Eventually, 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 more sincere than any other players out there. I really hope other teams out there will help so that they find new teams soon. Thanks suzie :D | ||

2011 was probably one of the best years for SC2, so unfortunate that stagnation of map pool, terrible balance decisions that brought the game to a shitty metagame that is super boring to watch, are slowly killing viewership number and by consequences, teams 2012 was super terrible. I hope 2013 will be a great year for SC2 and can go back to its 2011 numbers and even better, but I am pretty negative because I think Blizzard will manage to fuck it up, yet again T_T | ||

First half was really good, second half I will agree was really shitty. | ||

ST maybe less than they appear but when there team keeps winning and winning its only a matter of time for them either get a sponsor or the best players will continue on winning like they would anyway. | ||
