Team league was the cornerstone of SC pro scene for the past decade or so, since it guaranteed exposure for sponsors and space for new faces. It's easier to cheer for a team than for an individual, especially with how volatile the scene is. Individual leagues are nice and all, but they end up getting old fairly quickly, even GomTV understood that and their team league was a weak immitation.
So, yeah, this means the scene is going to experience some major shrinkage, Blizzard may try to delay it, but the writing's on the wall. As far as teams go - I think it will be like BW, the best stream to supplement their income, since the tournaments and sponsorships won't sustain you alone.
