What started as a hint thrown by Korean journalist Ethan Ahn about a Korean SC2 disbanding was confirmed by Western Wolves' manager Tidus Mino shortly thereafter - effective next month, NS HoSeo will seem to be no more.
To everybody following the StarCraft 2 scene, the news does not come as a surprise. Once a decent team with a GSTL top four and an IPL TAC 2 silver on their account, NS HoSeo have been on a severe decline and the result of both the team and its individual players - including former GSL champion Jjakji - have been quite bad. The team doesn't have a single player in WCS Korea, be that Premier or Challenger tier, and finished seventh in the current GSTL season with 2-5 in series, being all-killed four times.
The news about a Korean team disbanding was first dropped by Ethan Ahn earlier today, saying that official announcement is to come. Although such is yet to be released, the manager of Western Wolves - a team partnered with NS HoSeo for the GSTL - confirmed on Team Liquid that "it is 100% NSH, and they will officially close next month."
one of the starcraft2 korea team will be dismantled. soon. (not AZUBU) Wait for the official announcement.

?NS HoSeo's disbandment comes after two and a half years of existence leaves the question where players like aforementioned Jjakji and team league rising star MadBull will end up.
