EPTEven if an amateur who could take on the top ex-progamers were to rise, he would have a hard time making a living. And where do we get the fresh blood with no environment for young talents to develop in? We have seen an amateur team formed under Sonic's leadership earlier in Sonic Proleague, but this experience taught Sonic he needs to take things a step further!
Do not worry, there are no razors involved~

There is a lot of talk about the Starleague entry. It is likely there will be some amateur participants in the 10th Starleague! It seems about time we had at least a few amateur players in and started promoting fresh faces.
If we are to progress a bit more, I am thinking of founding an amateur team and providing practice space for them. Or, if that doesn't work out, we could come up with a system for the team and employ players in our office.
Fixed thanks to Hesmyr:
Many players who participated in 9th SSL will be unable to participate. This is not because the players deliberately chose not to do so, but because they had already committed themselves to other leagues which schedule conflicted with ours, so please refrain from random speculations or blame certain players for their absences.
At the same time, SonicTV has always been able to bring in cards you didn't even think of, and I think the 10th Starleague can become the best one yet!
Things don't end with the 10th season, we will also try to run the 11th, 12th and 13th seasons with OnGameNet. OGN's production team is also concerned even more than with the previous Starleagues. SonicTV does not end here either, we are very concerned over this New Beginning and will focus all of our energy into it.
The entry and schedule annoucement comes next week. Please look forward to it. I will also make efforts to give you Sonic's voice again. T/N: Maybe a guerilla stream or Super Fight #8?
Enjoy your weekend!

Only 26 years old, Sonic with his motto "Actions speak louder than words." keeps fighting on all fronts and has also finished moving his offices. This is what the new SBENU headquarters in Hongdae, right in front of the Hapjeong Station, looks like:
