Update:
New album of pictures from Fomos here:
http://www.fomos.kr/board/board.php?page=3&mode=photo_list&db=photo&cate=001&edit_num=3397&field=&kwrd=
And yes, it's confirmed. Check has joined STX!
-------------------------------------------------------------
The players sleeping in the car after the match
On the 15th of November, Team 8 (the Dream Team) scored an overwhelming victory over STX in a football friendly held in Daerim-dong, Seoul. Team 8 comprised some very strong football players- former "Hwaseung FC" members Coach Han, Jaedong and Killer, as well as two of MBC's best, Sea and Jaehoon. STX themselves had won a football tournament for KeSPA progamers before, so they were not considered a weak team to begin with.
All 9 players and both coaches of Team 8 played in the match, with Coach Joo playing in goal and Coach Han as an out-field player. According to Fomos, with some outstanding individual play from Jaehoon, 2 goals each from the "tyrant" Jaedong and Killer, and 1 from Yeom Messi (Sea), Team 8 beat STX 5-2. The half-time score was 1-1.
After not having player football for some time, the players were delighted to be able to take part in this friendly against STX. They expended so much energy playing football that they fell asleep in the car on the way to the hostel.

Edit: Check out this last picture, I think I see Check and Mangnani on both sides of Jaehoon!

Promising start for Team 8, right?! Thanks for the pictures etc.
|
Score not possible, can you get a fifth goal after scoring the ace goal? 
|
at first i thought it was a sc match when i read the title in the left sidebar =/
|
|
|
Wow that title is such a troll lol. It perfectly hides the "football" part when you're looking at topics on the left.
Anyway, I bet playing soccer is a nice little team morale-building exercise, and the fact that they won is even better. Hopefully this is a portent of things to come.
edit: I thought the "trolling" was funny btw :p

Wasn't intentional.

Jaehoon scoring goals? Something is right with the world!

I'm glad to see STX still exists. I haven't seen any news since early summer regarding the roster. They're obviously preparing for PL like everyone else, but I'm out of the loop so it feels strange.
Anyway, our football line is pretty chobo. I'm not putting any stock in this. Pshaw and all that.

Pfft, seeing a score of "5-2" should make you realize it wasn't an SC thing

Heh I liked this. : )
Cool to get confirmation that Jaedong is indeed the best at everything he tries.

I didn't scream but I was shocked yes.
I hope that we will see more former MBC rookies in other teams too.

This is making me so happy. I'm sure team 8 players will all go along very well.
Thank very much you Ryo for translating all those articles. How come you don't have a TL star yet ?

VODs for a BW Proleague football game? Geez!
And JD and Killer being goal scorers? O_o

Well Jaehoon, Tyson and Sang all did well last season so Pusan can't be a bad coach. But I have no idea what's going on with him. I don't know why he's streaming on Afreeca instead of coaching at some SC team. Frankly, I think it's another waste of talent.

Could it be that team 8 head coach xxxx the one who carried skt1 to victory for few seasons failed to recognise these correlation of mbc's protoss winning because of pusan's coaching and leader ship ? . I believe if that is the case , that coach is making one huge mistake having teams with super star players is fine , but that doesn't give you the reason cut off the coaches because coaches do help the player with schedules ,build orders and direction . I hope I am wrong though and yes, I do agree that pusan shouldn't be spending time on afreeca -.-.
The only team that has the need for protoss coaches that comes up to me is Samsung khan,CJ , Skt1 .

I think Coach Han volunteered to help Coach Joo (fr the Coach Joo interview translation) and Team 8 may not have enough funding to hire another coach. Maybe Pusan didn't want a job at Team 8? I have no idea, just guessing. But there's a vacancy on SKT and I haven't heard of them hiring any new coaches. I think the former MBC protosses will be fine without Pusan but I hope Pusan finds another job in esports soon. Mumyung is a TV show host for MBC now, until the channel winds up next year.
|
Coach Han , why you such a badass?
I would also think Killer would be good at football, he's looks like a fast mofo
|
^ Yeah, according to Hiya, among the former Hwaseung players, Killer and Alone were the best at football.

|
Could've sworn I saw fantasy in the third of fourth picture with a box of crackers or something lol, thanks for the constant updates Ryo
|
Yeah, thanks Ryo. Pretty cool pics. Jaedong and Baby look like bros. Can't wait for Team 8 first match.
|
I laugh and smile while see the pictures.thank Ryo.
and I soo happy and glad see Check still be progamer and now with STX.
Congrats Check

They don't have a lot of money, I'm sure the B teamers and coach Han are making next to nothing so if they want Pusan, he basically has to come for free. Based on who finally sponsors them, they might or might not hire Pusan and a bunch of other B teamers. In other words, they're bringing  Sexy back.

It's times like these when I get a little annoyed that we can't post Fomos pictures. Their pictures are so awesome.

This can only be a good thing. Now lets hope this new atmosphere (a more positive one) helps these players find their true potential and smash some nerds in proleague!

that's clearly down to imbalance!
Blizzard patch please, nerf strikers and change goalkeeper reaction time jeez
(they should really film the matches more often, with the commentators like in Hyungjoon heh)

Good but not pro-level good. He's called Yeom Messi because he's a massive Messi fan. The best footballer on Team 8 is Killer.

they play a soccer tournament =3 liek last season !!
then the prolgaue start
|
i heard sea is quite good at football
good thing we have him .
|
hahah this is awesome. TEAM 8 FIGHTING
i'm so glad ! and excited!
|
Yeom Messi
LOL XD go go go TEAM 8
|
it's nice to see the players from different teams getting along so well.... i was a little worried... both killer and jaedong have played some pretty intense games with baby in particular.... with killer even using guardians i think... i really wish i could see some of their in-house tournaments...

From Opticalshot's translation:
In the 32 matches he played, Killer won 22 times, which was better than everyone else including high-profile star players like Jaedong and Sea. Killer commented, "the difference in number of wins is very small between other players. Still, I've gained a lot of confidence after winning the intra-team tournament amongst such skilled players."
Coach Han added that "from rank 1 to rank 5, the number of wins only differ by 1 or 2 between each rank. Competition was really fierce."
The intra-team tournament started in the morning of November 10th and ended near dawn of November 11th. As the reward, Killer selected his new practice booth, and others followed in the order of the tournament rankings.
