　　Having played host to several of Starcraft 2's most celebrated players like 'Life', 'Bomber' and 'PartinG' along the years, team StarTale has now been forced to cut back on their operations severely. This was made abundantly clear earlier today when the organisation revealed that their Dota 2 team, who recently won the $95,000 Nexon Sponsorship League, would be leaving the team.

　　Along with this, StarTale's SC2 division was also faced with cuts in the managerial department as head coach Kim '815' Gwang Bok and player coach Yoon Hee Won have resigned from their respective positions. Following all of this recent re-structuring, StarTale's top-performing protoss players in recent times, Kim 'Avenge' Nam Joon has retired from competitive Starcraft.

　　The reasons for the dramatic re-structuring has been commented on from a StarTale associate who stated that 'we [StarTale] are aggressively remodelling to match the current market and to increase efficiency.'
