Requested by BLinD-RawR. Thank you so much rotinegg for helping with the parts I had trouble with <3

Currently, the game team simply called "8"
"Establishment, good results, and growth of the industry, we'll achieve it all!"
The SK Telecom T1 coach who left the esports industry 3 years ago has returned. He's taken up the job of leading and coaching the new team comprised of WeMade, Hwaseung, and MBC Game's Aces, Jaedong, Sea, and Baby, etc.
In this interview, the 8th team's coach has revealed his 3 major goals. In short, creating the 8th team backed by a corporation, winning Proleague, and advancing esports.
◆ The Greatest Winning Coach
Coach Ju Hoon is known as the man who led SK Telecom T1 when it was Orion. In 2002, Boxer split from Ideal Space and left to form his own team for Proleague, Orion, with Coach Ju Hoon.
The team, headed by Boxer, with iloveoov, Kingdom, sigamari, and others, went through hard times, but Coach Ju Hoon and the team gained recognition after winning in the team league. Orion formed a contract with a sponsor and became 4U and continued to participate in the team league as well as individual leagues, and after winning many titles, in 2004, SK Telecom took over and T1 was formed.
Afterwards, Coach Ju Hoon led SK Telecom T1 to stand tall and strong at team events. While in 2004, the team was disappointed to get 2nd place at the SKY Proleague finals at Gwanganri, in 2005, SKT made a complete sweep with victories in the proleague and grand finals, becoming champions, and achieved the "Over Triple Crown" with another successive win in 2006.
In 2006 and 2007, the team's performance fell and leadership of the team changed, but Coach Ju Hoon became known in history as the most successful team league winning coach.
"Coaching the 8th team formed of players of the disbanded teams reminds me of the old days," Coach Ju Hoon revealed.
"I want to create another legendary team by utilizing what I learned through my experiences with SKT T1: from landing a giant corporation such as SK Telecom as a sponsor, to leading the team to become the greatest team in the league."

◆ What this resembles
While Coach Ju Hoon leads the 8th team, he recalls the days of 4U. Although 4U's name was officially pronounced ForYou (a team for the fans), people read it as SaYoo (which means "buy something" in the Chungcheong dialect, indicating to sponsors to "buy us"). And so, the team came to be interpreted in this way.
When Orion was trying to secure a contract with a sponsor, Coach Ju Hoon had to take up the roles of both coach and manager for the team. He tried looking everywhere for someone to take over the team, and eventually, SK Telecom agreed to sign on.
His role this time around with the 8th team is similar. He manages the players directly, and his top priorities are for the players to perform well and get good results, and work towards creating the team and finding a sponsor.
"Jaedong, Sea, Baby, and the others that make up the team are promising players, so I have confidence. If a team made of these players doesn't find a sponsor, then what team in Korea would be able to?" the Coach asked.
He added, "The circumstances are very similar now as they were in 2003, except that this time, there are even more people willing to help, so it should be easy." Hwaseung's former coach Han Sangyong volunteered to help coach the 8th team, and a houskeeping person was found, and KeSPA is holding meetings to find candidates for sponsor companies, etc. Everyone is being very active.
This 8th team's name itself is "Team Pal" (meaning Eight). This is not only because it's the 8th team in Proleague, but also because when a sponsor is found, the team will be sold to that company (Pal also means to sell. Oh ho ho you are so clever, Coach!). "Our 'merchandise,' the players, are of high quality, and the team will appeal to companies," he said confidently.
◆ The players were deeply touched
This 8th team was formed last Friday. However, the main players have already begun regular training. KeSPA set up a training house and dorms for them in Itaewon. Jaedong, Sea, Baby, Tyson, Jaehoon, and Killer were the reserved players that contracted with KeSPA, and they received raises.
The players that once belonged to Hwaseung, WeMade, and MBC Game rested at home after the teams disbanded. Once they were given the news and called to convene, they joyfully rushed together and began to practice.
Coach Ju Hoon said, "These players, once they were called together, it was like after months of feeling down (their eyes had become dull), they became hungry beasts!" When asked about salaries, the players said, "Even if we had to take pay cuts, it would have been fine. I'm just thankful that I get to continue being a progamer." The players are happy because they got to keep their jobs, and things are actually even better than before because they got raises.
"The players have been practicing for about a week and they've managed to recover their skill. Yesterday, they were willingly up until 3 in the morning preparing for the 11-12 season, striving to develop confidence and show themselves as a team with a chance to win," he said, praising the players' passion.
![[image loading]](http://img.dailygame.co.kr/news/201111/attachments/20111109_a8c84ea52a86e5940ccfb9b38873e4eb.jpg)
Coach Ju Hoon's number one goal is to find the team a corporate sponsor. Currently, the financing of the team is entrusted to KeSPA, but reforming the team under a company will soon be necessary. The team is basically being run on the money from the other 6 corporations with a team (all excluding ACE), so the earlier Team 8 finds a sponsor, the better it is for Team 8 and KeSPA. The extra money can then be channeled towards servicing the fans.
"Right now, there are companies that I'm meeting with. I can't give any concrete details yet, but I can say I've only heard positive things so far. If I succeed and find a company, I'll nod my head at the place so you know."
Most importantly, if a sponsor is found, the players' passion will become even greater in ancitipation and they won't have to be anxious or worry about Coach Ju Hoon anymore. Right now their spirit is high and they are considering being able to make it to the post season. In addition, the coach knows the profound effect on players of being able to establish the team, so his belief in them has become stronger.
"In 2004, after the team 4U became SK Telecom T1, we had quite a dramatic run at the SKY Proleague. In the earlier stages, we had 1 win and 3 losses and were ranked very low. After the team got a sponsor, we didn't lose a single match out of the next 6. We ended up overtaking everyone to finish in 2nd and we qualified for the finals at Gwanganri. The fact that we had an established team sharpened our concentration."
"It may seem like I'm chasing 3 rabbits here (referring to the saying that if you try to chase 3 rabbits, you'll catch none), but the truth is, it's really just 1. Finding a sponsor and establishing the team will cause the players to perform well and have good results, which will carry over to make more sponsors willing to invest and so, the esports scene will naturally experience a revival," he explained.

i'll be anticipating team8! a lot of each individual team's weaknesses (lack of good zergs for mbc and fox and terrans for hwaseung) are filled with the new team, and now they have a kickass coach to boot :3

I hope TL will let us to keep OZ tags great news! Thank you for translating!

Super 8 ?!

8 Stripes for Team 8?!
Dun dun DUNNNNNNN.

The largest hurdle for Team Pal (omg cutest name) imo, will be the fact that they are all from different environments. I think once they work out a training routine and practice and become great friends/teammates with each other, the team will do outstanding. I can imagine coming from three different teams that they may have a bumpy start to the season (prove me wrong, pleeeeease do it. Prove me wrong and get a sponsor)
Thanks for translating!

largest hurdle is that theres only 9 players on the team (in a Bo7 format league no less), they have an even worse practicing environment than ACE lol

I couldn't help but remember of Pals4Life... in which case Jaehoon is Leeroy obviously.

I doubt they won't have practice partners and whatnot. Just because they don't have a B-team doesn't mean they have no one to practice with.

I'm glad they picked a new coach with some experience instead of just picking the FOX or OZ coach. That guy will make the team look more fresh, and that will help draw in companies that are in it for the long run.
Creeper coach FITING!

He looks like an asian version of Ari Gold ;P

I hope someone gets into their dorms and interviews them so we can see if it's really that bad of an environment. My other hope is that Jaedong won't make everyone forget how to win again.

Even if a team has 20+ players, not even half of them will ever be played. SKT has 22 members, but only 6 of them played in Proleague in any meaningful amount. Considering the 6 on Team 8 were the best from their respective teams and all regularly played, I don't think that'll be a problem. I mean, you can always send out Jaedong again for the ace ^^
I don't see how the practice environment is bad. The other 3 members were all supposed to be really great practice partners, and they do have a training house. There'll be less PL games played overall this season, so they won't be too stressed or overworked either.
|
The reason the practice environment is bad is they have to play the same people over and over for practice, making it difficult to get different perspectives for their games. If 6 players need to practice for their game on a specific map, that leaves a very small pool of players to help them practice. Imo, they need a bunch of cheap practice partners that will give them more options even if they can't be fielded.
|
I'm not 100% sure with the untranslated part but if I took shot at a rough translation:
"The one who led SK Telecom T1 through ups and downs is now looking forward to try and create another legendary team."
|
Thank you for the translation. This new team and all the buzz surrounding it is just what the Broodwar scene needs. More positive news please!

Ah, yeah I guess you're right. But I guess they just don't want to risk signing on too many players or overwhelm potential sponsors by thrusting 20 people who need salaries and expenses paid on them. I imagine as soon as they can secure a sponsor, they'll be able to acquire a real B team. Either way, hoping Coach Hoon can pull off some magic and get another SKT-esque megacorp to sponsor.
|
They only have 9 members but they may have online practice partners as well. Getting along shouldn't be a problem for the players, the MBC and Oz players are good friends.
The biggest hurdle is that they only just started practicing on the new maps as a team. When the new PL maps were released to the teams, players from the 3 disbanded teams were able to get hold of the PL maps through friends in other teams but because they lost their hostels and practiced from home/at a friend's house, they were at a huge disadvantage.
Thanks for translating!

Team 8 sounds extremely badass for some reason.

Surely they would be in a position to recruit top Fish players or semi-pros as practice partners in exchange for lodging/future prospects?

There's plenty of B-Teamers out there so I doubt they'd resort to that.

That better be the new teamshirt.
Cant wait to see JD in it.

"I am so excited I just can't hide it..."
It will be interesting to see a lot of the FOX, MBC, and Oz fans rooting for the same team that can hopefully go deep this Proleague season. Winner's League should be quite the spectacle with this roster and a hopefully a few other additions.

this team is so strong, holy shit.

Whooo good news Im sure that is going to be a solid team

wemade... mbc... oz... alone they can't win, but together... This will be very interesting

In Coach Ju Hoon we trust!
GO STARCRAFT!

BUT TOGETHER... they can find a sponsor

우여곡절 끝에 SK텔레콤이라는 대기업을 만나 최고의 팀으로 이끌었던 경험을 앞세워 또 하나의 레전드 팀을 만들고 싶다.
I want to create another legendary team by utilizing what I learned through my experiences with SKT1: from landing a giant corporation such as SKTelecom as a sponsor, to leading the team to become the greatest team in the league.*
6개 기업 게임단이 출자한 돈으로 팀을 운영하고 있는 셈이기에 창단 시기를 앞당기면 앞당길수록 협회나 제8게임단에게는 도움이 된다. 그 돈을 팬 서비스에 쓸 수 있기 때문이다.
Since the team is basically being run on the money from the other 6 corporations with a team (all excluding ACE), the earlier team8 finds a sponsor, the better it is for team8 and Kespa. The (extra) money can then be channeled towards servicing the fans.
*우여곡절 끝에 implies there is more than meets the eye, or in layman's terms, that a bunch of drama/shenanigans were involved. I couldn't fit it in the translation so I translated with the general meaning of the sentence in mind.
edit: THANKS FOR TRANSLATING!

Is Coach Han going to stay or is he just temporary?
|
Man what a baller. And I actually really like the name Team 8, its appropriately badass for the aggregate badassery of its 8 players.
|
Thanks for translation!
I'm so stoked about this season!! <3
|
jaedong got a raise? :O lol. i wish i was getting paid as much =[
|
Well I cannot wait for this. Hope LG sponsors or someone equally as big or bigger!

Hope they rock the league!

I can already see Team 8 winning round 1 and 2. keke : )

Thank you for the translation. Can't wait for it to start.

Lets see if he can turn this awesome group of players into one awesome team. They have the skill and probably the drive, they just have to focus in a common goal (get second place behind CJ ^^).
GL to this new team and this old coach trying to achieve success once more in the name of eSports!
|
Never heard of this guy before but he really seems to fit the job. I like that he is so confident about getting a sponsor that he already raised the salaries.
Today’s lesson: Don’t underestimate the popularity of professional BW in Korea (read: BW won’t die anytime soon).

Is anyone up for making a team PAL fanclub thread?
Seriously, someone do it
We'll document all the future interviews with players from this team, notable games, and so on in there. It'll be awesome! I'd do it myself but I am scared that it will be closed and I will be banned due to lack fo content (It won't start out with much obviously)

Can you guys call it Team Eight rather than Team Pal? "Pal" itself just means eight in Korean and I don't even think the letters represent the correct pronounciation..
If there was a ocho team(8 inSpanish), we wouldnt call it Team Ocho
Plus it just sounds gay.

dude looks like xellos' dad

yeah Pal isnt like my pal joe. the a in "pal" sounds like "ah"
this team is going to be really promising

SKT was failing pretty badly in 2006 and 2007. He tried to implement a system where the players could only participate in one individual league so that they could focus on Proleague, but it didn't really help, so he was eventually replaced by Coach Park in 2008.

Into the spotlight. Thanks for all your hard work. This is easily the best information out there on this team.
|
Recent times seem to be the only time in which people have really come back into the fold. Effort, Ju Hoon, people not just retiring after ACE service, and anyone like Nestea who came back to play SC2. Even more evidence of the longevity of esports. Great time to be a fan.

this is awesome news. good to see the BW scene back in action!

Really strong lineup for the team in general, but every time I think about Jaedong and Sea being on the same team, it just makes me smile. Like everyone else, I'm so excited to see how Team 8 does.

Team 8 sounds extremely badass for some reason. Who's who? Jaedong is obviously Hinata because he is the cutest.

Team PaL <3
This is real good news!
They will be in top 3
|
My new fav team, no doubt about it!
|
Thank you for the translation Kiett! Very well done (not that I would know if it was correct, but it was a real pleasure to read :p)
I feel I'll be forced to cheer a little extra on 8..
|
Oh wow, he has returned eh
|
Thanks for the translation! Team 8 sounds like a fine name at least until they get a sponsor.
|
Cool! I really appreciate you taking all of that time to translate this for us! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
|
This sounds really promising. Thanks for the translation!

Hwaseung, WeMade, and MBC Game rested at home after the teams disbanded.
I haven't been following BW for some time but .. WHAT?! Am I reading it wrong or did 3 teams disband?
It's pronounded team p-AH-l right? (not pél?)

Team 8 will wreck havoc, god I'm excited!
|
This guy have that boss look all over his face. I could totally picture him wearing an expensive italian suit with cigars lighted up and go "kekeke" when Killer wins against Flash in the Proleague Final
|
That shirt... the horror  wonder who the sponsor is going to end up being.

Do we have a logo yet??
Don't think so.
Finally got around to reading this, thanks for the translation!

Oh damn, this is some pretty awesome news. This guy is indeed a legendary coach, and considering he was the former coach of SKT1, it's kind of like a second SKT1 team is being coached, (minus all the players of SKT1 =P). I'm hoping that Team 8 becomes a force to reckon with. =D
|
Does anyone else feel that this team 8 is the new Ace in that it's impossible for anyone to cheer against them?
|
Holy hell team 8 will be fucking awesome!!
|
I'm so glad to have a chance to become a true fan of this team and see it growing from the beginning. I could never quite attach myself to a team(Oz was my favourite cause of Jaedong... I admit that it's also one of the reason why I'll be cheering for Team 8!) Can't wait to know how the players will react to this new setting.

cant wait for next proleague season
team 8 and woongjin in the finals plzplzplz :D
