This is Sonic's previously announced and currently ongoing project. It's a re-installment of older Sonic's show where he takes on a couple of amateurs to coach them on their way to epicness, except this time it's treated more seriously (don't get fooled by the first episode). It's a real effort of bringing up new talents and making them popular with the fans.
In the show, Sonic, Soulkey's personal coach Child and a couple of invited ex-progamers help coach the SBENU BBARAS Team featuring KHAN ex-progamer Sharp and amateurs/semi-pros Olympus, Bale, Luna and BishOp for 100 days. We get to follow the behind-the-scenes of Olympus and Sharp participating in the SBENU Starleague and see the team compete against ex-progamers in Sonic Super Fights. The team will also play in the upcoming Sonic Proleague.
This thread (and thread title) will be updated with newly subbed episodes. Currently 4 episodes have been released. Enjoy and get hyped for Proleague comeback!
The first episode also featured short player introductory videos that will be (hopefully) subbed later on and released on their own. (There weren't Korean subtitles to the iviews and I'm not comfortable doing them by ear.) If anyone's interested in helping with that pm me plz, otherwise I may bother you sooner or later anyway.
Too cool, thanks, Stratos. The translation notes provide great context, too!
I'm not familiar with the first iteration of Sonic's team formation/reality show 5 years ago, what was "Welch's incident"?
Such respect for Larva
It's always surprising, albeit humorous, that one's appearances are so opened discussed in Korean culture... At least Olympus waited until Sonic left the room before calling him out

Any chance you could have that changed Stratos?
I'll try to upload a copyright-free version tomorrow for mobile and Germany, it's just the intro and outro music that's causing problems.

No idea, can't even find that show anymore except for pandora where I can't watch it. Googling that term didn't help at all and it seemed like noone else knew what was that reference or w/e it was either. Maybe someone will know.
Btw. if anyone sees any blatant mistakes in the subs let me know and I'll fix it.

While streaming, Sonic asked one of his volunteer channel managers (who happened to be a junior in high school) to purchase two cans of Welch's grape-flavored drink and bring it to him. The manager went out into the rain and came back soaked with the two cans, and Sonic did not acknowledge or outwardly express appreciation for the delivery. The manager posted a complaint in Sonic's forums about this and there was an uproar. Sonic apologized for the incident.
In this episode, I believe the mention of the Welch's incident is meant to poke fun at the notion of Sonic as a merciless slave-driver. The whole show is very tongue-in-cheek. Sonic often engages in Michael-Scott-like behavior for laughs. When he makes fun of how the players look, he is very aware that the Afreeca viewers believe that he is not a good-looking man. So he's actually making fun of himself for making fun of the players. A bit of meta-humor is going on there.

I keep confusing Bishop with Bale, him with Luna. There are 3 unknown for us and same looking players in this rooster. Olympus seems so shy and dumb stare, while Sharp seems to be MVP of this team.
When we gonna see Sonic inviting an "S class, foreign hated edge-case korean" player there?
