The official statement on vVv's website states that the division closes doors because of the players switching to other titles and the decline of competitive support, but both BabyToss and Hiei - now former vVv members - state otherwise. vVv's upper management and its involvement in other projects such as LoL community inhouses are mentioned.
BabyToss
It is time to move on. I joined vVv Gaming in April 2012, with hopes to grow both I see all the talk about "We will coordinate with you guys with a good-bye thread" was nothing else but a lie.
Well, the truth is, the division as a whole agreed to leave vVv due to lack of visible support from upper management, which was always busy with LoL community inhouses and other stuff, and SC2 was just a bother to them. Alas, here goes my statement, why I and the others decided to leave:
"As of today, I am no longer part of vVv Gaming. We decided to part ways on mutual agreement. Here is my personal statement:
"It is time to move on. I joined vVv Gaming in April 2012, with hopes to grow both as a person and a StarCraft 2 player. I ended up coming up with Aspire in the end, to create the desired environment not just for myself, but also for other like-minded people, who wished to pursue StarCraft 2 on more competitive level.
In the end, the direction, which vVv Gaming began to take in last three months was in contradiction to the old values, reasons why I joined the organization and promises from the management, which began directing focus in other way, with their actions and decisions. As such, I believe moving on is the best way for both sides. I personally cannot continue supporting an organization, which doesn't visibly support my division, my team and the game.
All in all, if it wasn't for me joining vVv Gaming, I'd never get to chance to meet some of the awesome people here, I would not learn to be a captain of a team. Despite of all, thank you for all that time. I and my team may be leaving vVv Gaming, but I am not leaving StarCraft 2.

Hiei sheds more light on the topic, saying how the entire SC2 division of the team has lost faith in vVv's management and only saw it as a hindrance that serves "no real use to the division as a whole".
vVv's StarCraft 2 team was formed in October 2010 and for its three years of existence it has seen many a player compete under its colors, including Glon, Daisuki, Desrow, BabyToss and more.
