Everyone jumped ship when OGL said that they would be forcing shoutcasting on matches. Even if both teams don't want their match shoutcasted they were going to put casters in the server and if the teams didn't like it they would forefit.
TWL pushed their startup date to pretty much the same week that took effect and teams started moving over.
Basically it was the last straw for most teams, everyone hated OGL for whatever reason (people also got pissed when they went nazi on their forums), but of course it gave a chance to a lot of other websites to learn from OGLs mistakes.
