Less than a year after Mortal Team Work systematically bought up the Beijing Esports Team, mTw has decided to drop the majority of their roster to focus on one-versus-one competition instead.
Mortal Team Work is the latest in a string of teams to condense their rosters down to just one or two of the more successful solo players.
Mortal Team Work has decided to keep Du Seop 'WhO' Chang, but drop Hyeong Ju 'Check' Lee, Dae Hui 'FoV' Cho, Jin Woo 'Resolver' Lee and Jin Woo 'WinNers' Kim. WhO has been by far mTw's most successful one-on-one player, having won the ESWC 2008 finals it comes as no surprise the team will keep the budding Orc star.
Eric 'Eric' Marten and Leon 'TastyLeon' Hoge have also been added to the team to represent mTw in the EPS and other German events. Johannes 'hanf' Morlo will also be retained by the team.
Several teams have been rumoured to be releasing large portions of their roster as a result of the rising costs that come with supporting an entire Warcraft squad. Why Mortal Team Work decided to release their roster now is up for debate, however, the team failing to qualify for the WC3L finals could have something to do with it.
Mortal Team Work:
Eric 'Eric' Marten
Leon 'TastyLeon' Hoge
Johannes 'hanf' Morlo
Du Seop 'WhO' Chang

stupid move to grab all those koreans and then fire them after only one wc3l season ...
how could a fan identify himself with a team that changes roster after a short time again nearly complete?
reminder: they lost to MYM in the playoffs for the finals, if they had won they wouldn't be able to lose to MYM, and surerly not again.
are you really 22? 0o
If mTw had beaten MYM in the playoffs, then mTw would have proceeded to the offline finals and MYM would have been eliminated. So the general public would like to know by your logic how MYM (who would have been eliminated) could come back into grand finals and beat mTw.
Awaiting your brilliant response.
Regards,
Who is their best solo player internationally. So it doesn't matther, if the Germans could beat the Koreans, think first please. Fov and Check are better but can't play German EPS.
leon is cool, but with eric they have a hard contrast in their team now: the most loved player in the german scene, and the most hated one :D
hanf must leave now and join attax or something :X
- Good luck to all of them!
Eric and Hanf are still really good
As for keeping a single WC3 Korean WC3 rep, perfect for 1v1 events such as WCG/ESWC.
As for team leagues, bleh.
who is autoqualified for eswc09, which makes it a little bit more understandable in his case
its only good for those invite-tourneys, but concerning tourneys with national qualifiers and koreans its not smart. that applies only to countries with low competition, like netherlands where grubby has more or less a freewin, or france and such.
