GadZ sniffed up after talking to Naniwa that hoorai was letting go of their WarCraft squad. Naniwa said that the organization could not fulfill their part of the contract. GadZ further write that it seemed like the players did not get paid as much as they were supposed to.

Not long thereafter, GadZ got a hold of the manager of hoorai, D.Devil who confirmed that the rumours are true. He said that from the first of January 2007 the current WarCraft 3 team will no longer be apart of hoorai, and this because of an in-depth restructuring. The restructuring is meant to guarantee a stable structure of the hoorai project on long terms. With this restructuring, they will become solely a German organization.
- We will focus on the German market. This doesn't mean that we won't be present internationally, just that we will limit ourselfes to German players, D.Devil says in the statement.

And it is now a fact that the players did not receive what they were promised.
- This is something that really bothers me as I deeply condemn making promises you can't fulfill. [...] This is something which never should have happened and nobody in hoorai's current management can be held responsible for.

Looking at other teams who have decided to kick their international to create a German organization, there have been ups and downs for the teams. One of the teams that comes to mind is mTw dropped their international squad and then hit bottom. Bad seasons in WC3L and not qualifying for the next season. What will happen with hoorai, and what their new lineup will look like we'll probably know more in the start of 2007.

Most likely the former team of hoorai will get picked up by another organization, as they are in quite a good position in the WC3L qualifier. They are still hosing a strong lineup.
