　　A tweet made by the SSD player Turtoi 'Ar1se' Ionut earlier today stated that SSD was no more but at the time didn't provide any extra context. onGamers has since confirmed that the Super Strong Dinosaurs team who have most recently been appearing in the StarLadder Season 8 series will unfortunately no longer be playing together and have since disbanded.

　　The team who took wins off some of the big named teams like Sigma.int and Team Empire in the StarLadder series have been recently playing with the ex-LGD.int players Rasmus 'MiSeRy' Filipsen and Per Anders 'Pajkatt' Olsson Lille as standins and were expected to form a new team/lineup including these two players.

　　The SSD team stated that roster issues within the team were the reason behind the closing and that the majority of the players won't re-enter the scene until the new year starts.
