Sprout has announced it is ceasing operations and that its players and staff are looking for a new home after being released of all contract-related obligations. "As we concluded our preparations for the coming year, we were informed that our year will be cut short," the organization's statement on Twitter reads.
"We have come to the conclusion that our model of developing talents and passing them on in their blossom is not financially sustainable without occasionally being a challenger to play on the biggest and most prestigious stages," said Sprout's statement about the reason for the decision.
