What happened to Samsung Galaxy White/Blue?
Both of them seem to have disappeared. I know lots of members left SGW but still.

They moved to the CHINA for million dollar contracts.
Those Korean's man, they change their teams all the time
Nobody has yet to hit on the real reason.
The issue was that KeSPA (Korean e-Sports Association) made a rule that each sponsor could only be in control of one team. i.e. no more Samsung White AND Blue, they needed to combine into one team. So now 10 players had to be whittled down to 5 starters and 5 back-ups. Some teams chose to rotate more than 5 players in and out, while others only really play their starters.
This basically forced quite a few players to either: 1. find different sponsors and stay in Korea, or 2. go to different regions. Well, we all know what choice most of the players made; that's why there's now tons of Koreans on Chinese teams, and a small smattering of Koreans in NA and EU (though nowhere near the extent of China).
