FaDe Disbands
 

Say what!?
So people paying attention to looking for clan threads or looking for SEACL team threads may have noticed a sudden influx of players dropping the FaDe tag and looking to join new clans

So it goes without saying the FaDe is now actually 100% dead and will be disbanding TT

Before people jump to conclusions there was now row or falling out etc and while some of the guys might not be willing to shout me a beer there is no ill will amoungst anybody

************************************************** ************************************************** *
TL;DR: FaDe has always been a social clan at its core - some players wanted a clan with a much stronger competitive SC2 aspect
************************************************** ************************************************** *

What happened?
FaDe grew as an almost entirely social clan, we played clan wars but we also mucked around and just hung out and chatted. When our mainly and players ranked up to and even players got the taste for real competitive play. That is when Team FaDe was birthed.
Myself, then team manager byrnsy and Cure suggested we delay the team announcement to work out some potential problems and so we could work towards something unique and special. The delay sowed the seeds of negativity
Shortly thereafter I became homeless, computerless and internetless for several months and while I tried to set it up so it could work autonomously but it didn't take
I finally got internet that I could use and was greeted to people claiming FaDe was dead and this went on until this day when it actually happened. Several people grew tired of SC2 a took up other games with only a few playing SC2 regularly which lead to the impression the FaDe was dead.

I did my best to stay motivated and build towards the FaDe that many wanted while trying to retain that strong social core that made FaDe so special.
In the end FaDe fell victim to a self fulfilling prophecy when one person surprised everyone by saying he was leaving which sparked another and another and so on and so forth.

FaDe was left at a point where it was very iffy on whether or not we could field even one team for SEACL. When Daedalus left FaDe (longest serving member of FaDe and a good friend) because he wanted to play in SEACL and that was looking less and less likely each day - that was the last straw for me.
I could rebuild FaDe but that wouldn't be possible most likely until the release of HotS and I also didn't want players who were keen for SEACL to miss out so I made the sickeningly sad decision to disband FaDe. Trying to run FaDe had become very stressful trying to do what was best for FaDe and its players and a constant depressing fight to stay motivated all the while some sung songs of its demise for the last several months

Final Words
When I was in Korea I didn't have many friends so FaDe and the people in it were very important to me
It really saddens me to see it die especially with all the promise HotS held.

That said I understand why most left and wish them the best of luck in their new homes

So on behalf of FaDe, to everyone we warred and to the whole SC2SEA scene I bid thee goodnight, it was a dance I will never forget
(cheesy but too many people have told me "good while it lasted so don't want to say that :P)

Will be sad not to see the FaDe tag around SEA anymore. We built up a friendly rivalry in clan wars with FaDe and we came out about even. Good luck to all FaDe people in the new endeavours.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Bye FaDe, you will be missed

GL all players finding teams and achieving what they want with SC2 whether it a competitive or social game!

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

always you guys were a community that I looked up to as I started out my StarCraft journey, of all Clan's to disband this makes me the saddest

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Sad to hear especially after what looked like a promising start to the tier 1 market.

I wish all the best for the players as they find new homes.
I look forward to casting these players under new homes!

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

at least you can be proud of all the awesome players that have been with FaDe

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Wow man that really sucks, I wish all the best to you and all the former fade members.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Bad luck guys i can't imagine ToR disbanding it must suck. Goodluck everyone looking for a new team/clan

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Wow... sc2sea will miss you.

It was a great run

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

always sad to see a clan disband

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

GGs FaDe, wp.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

goodnight sweet prince...

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

I cant believe it still, I had a whole lot of respect for FaDe and I still remember how great and nice you were all to us newbie Fusion Slugs in our first game ever, in the SEACL start of last year. We didnt know what we were doing and you guys helped us find our games, taught us about how the best ofs went and never once got frustrated with us.

I really hope all the players find places they can call home again and I am sure we will all never forget the impact FaDe made on the community.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Farewell FaDe. Gone but not forgotten.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Goodbye FaDe, you will always be remembered

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Although FaDe is now gone, the friendships we've made in that Clan will last long into the night.
It was an honour to be in FaDe.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Very sad to see. I've met a lot of great FaDe members over the years. Hope all those still sticking around SC2 find a home soon~

gg wp FaDe. Never forget.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

so badd.....

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Just a little over being in FaDe for two years and I'd never thought that I would see this day. Once gone, never forgotten

Even though I was hardly ever on the SEA server as of late (and the game tbh) I have enjoyed my time in FaDe and hope that our competitive players find a new home.

GG FaDe, wp kind sir.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

This is super sad!

Mucho love to all the FaDe dudes out there I hope you all find new homes with other SEA clans soon

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

What a great clan. Theres so many players coming from FaDe that are amongst the best in SEA these days, goes to show how much you have done for our community.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

OMG WHAT? 0_________O

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

I'm with Spartaz on this one. FaDe was always looked up to as one of the strongest and best clans on the scene. Even though FaDe itself might have passed on, it's good to see that the people themselves are sticking together as much as possible - a good bunch of blokes have headed over to ToR, and I think it's great that they have all stuck together. The FaDe guys are loved in SEA, and everyone of them will be able to find their right home after this, I've no doubt. GGWP to FaDe and GLHF to everyone in their new homes.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

Sad to hear this. Have always held FaDe in high regard. Mannered and good players. Wishing all members all the best.

Re: FaDe Disbands
 

I will never forget the hurdles we overcame together, how we supported and confided within one another, and embraced success as one. Thank you FaDe for everything, the friendships we forged over the 2 years will not be so easily forgotten!
