An insider who has connections to KT Rolster has revealed to s.163.com that, KT's StarCraft 2 team has disbanded, but no official announcement for now. The insider also told us that the StarCraft 2 team players have moved out of the team house.
The rest is usual business "we'll update on the matter as we know more" and some background such as the declining Korean scene and info on the team KT itself.
Also, two weeks ago they revealed that SKT is pulling out their sponsorship on Proleague, disbanding their StarCraft 2 division. Some SKT players are already considering/confirmed to retire.

Seriously...
I saw the previous rumor about No Proleague next year and SKT disbanding on the chinese website as well and thought hard about it before deciding not to translate it because :
1. It's just a freaking rumor.
2. It's from a Chinese Website. If its from a reputable korean website it would merit more consideration.
So for all the people freaking out now, CHILL.
And if any moderator can update the translation because there are some pretty inaccurate translations that makes the rumor more realistic than it should be.
1. Nothing in the original article mentioned anything about Netease (Blizzard games operator in China). They only said that they got this rumor from a korean source that happen to have links with KT Rolster. This in itself makes the rumor much more dubious.
2. play.163 is the one of the main if not the main sc2 website in china. It is where i translate most of my korean interviews from their chinese translations. They have always had rumors posted but if no korean sources were quoted or linked i have always refused to translate it. No, "getting it from a korean source" does not count.
