StarCraft II’s history in Korea begins even before the game was released. Attempting to break down all the different aspects that factor into it is difficult, but I will try to summarize them adequately.
Jin Air Green Wings will apparently hold on to their players Afreeca’s fate is yet uncertain.Įasy to say in retrospect, but certainly known to a large part of the community was the fact that StarCraft II was always a bit shaky in Korea. The community’s fears proved true, as not only has KT Rolster’s StarCraft team closed down, but SK Telecom T1, Samsung Galaxy Khan, CJ Entus and MVP have all followed suit. Rumors of its demise had been floating around the SCII community for a while, most recently re-fueled by KT Rolster’s players supposedly moving out of their practice house. In a Facebook statement, KeSPA announced the discontinuation of the league that dates all the way back to 2003. Proleague, the premier team-competition of StarCraft in Korea, is no more.
After thirteen wonderful years, a cornerstone of esports history has officially ended.
