oGs disbands, possibly to re-form under new banner

You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

Don't forget, TheWind is still a great coach.

People always forget him, but there is also TheStC who is a great player and had a great run at last MLG.

I'd sign all of oGs if i had money for my own SC2 team

Not intending to offend anyone, but i kinda knew this would happen to oGs

1. SC2 sponsors in Korea are still "chicken farms"
2. The only REAL name that has a lot of success (even today) and remains a TOP TOP player is MC. Once he left...even if big names remained in oGs, they didn't perform so much as to see their clantag everywere (like other teams) which means no sponsors (not even chicken farms). MC was the backbone of that team.
3. Cookies
4. ...
5. No Profit$$

Again no intend to offend, it's just how i felt ever since i saw the "SK-MC" bomb droped some time ago.

I really wish the best for all the members of oGs, if this disband actually happens. A clantag doesn't make the team...the players do. Even if they merge or form under another name, i am sure things will pick up again for them!

This is ill news indeed.

It's as if the government said, "hey, let's not support the army, we'll invest in the Womens Auxiliary Baloon Corps."
As unsavory as thay are, I do share some sentiments concerning LOL with "Totoro Hren".

I love you for throwing a Blackadder reference in there.

On topic, it seems like this was coming for a while now. All their big names were leaving over the last few months, and all that was left were players of the calibre of Vines.

Let's not be all worked up because one sponsor dropped oGs for a LoL team.

There are still sponsors out there that are willing to support a starcraft 2 team, as the situation of other teams shows.
I believe that, with the right marketing and representation, a skilled team like oGs should have no problem finding one.
Well, it is too late now, I guess... But what I wanted to say was that the management of oGs is also to blame for this.

Actually we should.
If we aren't, it will keep happening.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

Getting worked up over it doesn't stop it from happening. In fact, I think us as the SC2 community behaving like little babies every time LoL comes up only serves to put the SC2 community in bad light.

So, any real update on the actual topic? The OP is still rumors, nothing official out yet (right?).

Are they disbanding? Reforming? Any players left yet? Will anything affect the TL crew+Huk living in their house?

Wow that's fucking awful. This could be the beginning of some dangerous times for StarCraft II if sponsors all decide that MOBA is the way to go for the future of competitive gaming.

If LoL is more profitable why shouldn't sponsors do that?
