Introduction
In 2010, CJ Entus underwent a merging of two teams who had players with an entirely different styles of play. One that had a history of having to work hard to make ends meet, the other had a history of putting creative and entertaining plays first. Both teams had been affected by the match-fixing scandal, Hite having been reduced to almost a skeleton of its former team. The merger gave CJ two (^_^) players that were not afraid to try new strategies and make those strategies work. And like ashes from a phoenix, CJ's performance rose to a new level, despite having to deal with a new environment and the scandal.
Like how the Dark Templar and High Templar unified to drive the Zerg from Shakuras, so too did CJ's (-_-) and (^_^) merge together to form a force to be reckoned with. CJ's strength relies not on the fact that it relies on one or two Ace members of a team to drive them forward, but it boasts a deep lineup with strong players of each race.
(-_-)
The (-_-) face represents no fear. It represents no mercy, no quarter for your opponent. It shows the confidence that CJ players exude when they go into their games, and the deep concentration as they prepare to outmicro, outmultitask, and outplay their opponent.
(^_^)
The (^_^) represents the smile on the face of the player as they are about to pull something crazy out of their bag of tricks. The look that you get from a player who's already think that he's won. The look of a player who is about to place 3 proxy gates in a location that you WILL NOT SCOUT and knows that there is nothing you can do about it. (^_^) is the face of someone who enjoys the game, has fun, and remains optimistic, win or lose.
How does one describe Leta? Leta was the last heir of the Hite SparkyZ Terran line, considered to be Hite's Ace since 2008. But he is much more than that, Leta is, for lack of a better word, crazy. And to describe this without pictures would be impossible.
Leta is one of the many reasons I think Blizzard designers never watched professional Brood War. How do I know this? If they had watched any of Leta's TvZ games back in 2009, they would have never invented the Banshee. Leta's 2 port wraith was unstoppable, as they darted back and forth, leaving overlords, drones, and even hydras (for SC2 players that don't know what they are, they are units that can shoot up) blown into bits of Zerg goo.
The key to Leta’s long career as Terran ace for SPARKYZ and now CJ is his mentality. He knows that small jabs and cute tricks won't win him the game, but well executed harassment followed up by strong economic play will. Although his style is unique, it doesn't stop him from being a solid player, as he boasts a large repertoire of strategies against all three races. Even in times of desperation, he is able to achieve the impossible. Leta is definitely not one that shys away from trying new things, and this mentality will help him to thrive in SC2. It's a shame that Banshees do exist though, because I was hoping to see him play a game that will last more than 10 minutes.
Theme Song: Troublemaker by HYUNSEUNG and Hyuna Nicknames: Neo-Beserker
SkyHigh made his mark in the 2009 Shinhan Bank Winner's League, where he triumphed over Hwaseung Oz after three of his teammates fell to the grasp of the Tyrant. But history fades, and SkyHigh found himself on the backseat during 09-10 and 10-11 proleagues. His skills inherited by his mentor, Xellos, man of ice, allowed him to keep a role on CJ as a TvT sniper. He and his mentor shared many things, one of them being a penchant for trolling Terrorists.
But a new format has arrived, and along with it, a new era. A clean slate, it is now time for SkyHigh to brush off the 50% win rates of the past seasons. SkyHigh may find himself brandishing his weapon that has been staple in TvT for many years, his positional play.
If Leta represents the chaos and mischief of the Terran race, then SkyHigh represents the patient, watchful tactician. SkyHigh’s TvT style involves heavy map control and perfect defense of all locations. Siege lines break under his command, as piecemeal vultures and SCVs block shots to get his tanks into position. You hear the thunder of the Arclite Siege cannons, but in mere few seconds, your tanks are gone, and in their stead, SkyHigh’s. If SC2 is as TvT heavy as people claim it to be, then you are about to see SkyHigh soar.
No one really knows much about BByong, but I will tell you this as a fact: he had some of the higher win-rates in 09-10 and 10-11 KeSPA Dream League. An astonishing 70%+ win rate against many players on other teams which are now playing as A teamers. Due to the fact that last season was a Bo5 and Leta and SkyHigh were still in top form, BByong was not sent out. However, CJ has had a long running record of strong performers that come out of Dream League/Minor League.
He hasn't played too many games yet but as he gains experience, look for him to become an integral part of this unit. Who can hate this guy? He supported TeamLiquid before it was cool.
Rush demonstrated an almost perfect execution of a +1 5 rax into mech switch vs Zerg in the 10-11 Proleague vs Neo.G_Soulkey, and took down the Tyrant himself recently in the ODT. Currently fighting for his ro16 spot in the OSL, you can expect great things from this young rookie.
One of the few BW players to switch races, we may get to see his Zerg side show itself.
From the very beginning of his career as a progamer, By.Snow has always been about finesse and the finer details of combat. He excels at harass, particularly with reavers. On a good day, it is not unnatural to see Snow pull crazy stunts like unrelenting shuttle/reaver micro, followed by Templar harassment (both Dark and High). And on days where he's not trying, well.... let's just say that even Tyrants have trouble keeping up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-UM3T0y-Z8 Snow: I was expecting just to pressure, but the attack ended up going too well, and I ended up killing Jaedong.
Hailed as the 09-10 Kespa Dream League bonjwa, Snow went undefeated with 12-0. His efforts alongside BByong saw CJ win that season with a record of 15-3. In fact, Snow's level of play was so good that they had to let him play in Proleague that year, where he defeated Flash during an ace match. The most memorable achievement, however, was when his single reaver ended up with 72 kills against n.Die_soO.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH7KTPABkXA
While he is playing Terran in SC2, you can be sure that his trademark style of control will carry over. But whether he is playing BW or SC2, we will for sure see entertaining games. Snow is still a relatively young player, but he’s already given both halves of Leessang a run for their money (No really man, look how cost efficient his defense vs JD is!). The potential for this young player is infinite.
Nickname: Tiger Toss Theme song: Guilty by Dynamic Duo
In many ways, Horang2 can be considered to be outlier. He is one of those players that you expect to cheese, but ends up pumping units out of 24 gateways and kills you. He is one of the fewer players that has one of the highest win-rates in PvP, a matchup that is considered by many to be luck based. And he is one of those players that at first glance, seem harmless, almost like someone who doesn't take the game too seriously. But once inside that booth, you’ll soon find that (^_^) face hides the heart of a tiger.
While its true that in the past Horang2 played a very cheesy style, more recently his style has changed drastically. No longer relying on Dark Templars to backstab FlaSh in his sleep, Horang2 has unlocked an even powerful weapon: ridiculously scary macro. During playoffs, Horang2 put on the (-_-) for one game. With absolutely ZERO fear and ZERO hesitation, he directed an assault of speedlots and goons right into the thick of the heavy fortifications of the Ultimate Weapon himself. The first wave was stopped, but soon, a second wave came, and another. His 16 gateways provided him with enough reinforcements to run over Flash's defenses and win the game, starting one of the most dramatic comebacks last Proleague.
While initially fielded as a PvP sniper, Horang2's role has become a lot more pivotal in CJ's lineup. His PvZ and PvT matchups have become nothing to laugh at. Still, Horang2 is one of those players that comes up with unique strategies every now and then, just to keep his opponents guessing. PvP might seem like a coinflip in SC2 for now, but once this kids enters the booth, you'll find that he makes his own luck.
EffOrt is a home-grown CJ Zerg, forged from the practice house from players like Saviour and Kwanro. He first came into dominance in 08-09 where he was rightfully dubbed “Neo-Saviour” and rightfully so. His ZvP was monstrous, and in 2009 where he went 25-3 in Proleague. His strong play and starsense allowed him to defeat FlaSh in the 2010 Korean Air OSL, where he reversed all-swept the series.
Like his mentors, he inherited many strong styles from them both. While not as economic as Saviour or as cheesy or all-innish as Kwanro, EffOrt's style inherits one of the most crucial elements of them both: map control. EffOrt loves to dictate the flow of the game, both with strong aggression, small jabs, and denial of scouting with zerglings.
And EffOrt is not afraid at all to punish small mistakes. A Protoss player who is too greedy will often find himself at the mercy of EffOrt's hydralisks. A Terran player who goes CC first will find himself with his SCVs gone and his marines surrounded by zerglings. Nothing escapes the gaze of the Hawkeye, and once he see something a little off, he snaps his fingers, and unleashes the full fury of the swarm.
Some people say that EffOrt retired because he feared that he was slumping just like his mentor. But something happened in those 6 months. He strengthened his resolve, and put on new determination to wear the CJ face once more. The previous season was just a warm-up. EffOrt is a player that, from the very start of the countdown, has already laid out a plan to dominate his opponent. Well the countdown for SPL is starting, and EffOrt is already scheming up new builds and plans for his opponent, whatever map, match up or game that may be. There will be no mercy.
Nicknames: Cyclops Zerg Theme Song: “I am the Best” by 2NE1
Now considered an S-class Zerg by many, Hydra started off like many rookies on the bench. His strong performance in the 2009 Minor League led CJ to second place. Due to his stellar results, he earned a role as a B-teamer.
However, after the match-fixing scandal in 2010 and the announcement of EffOrt's retirement, Hydra had to step up to become the Alpha Zerg of the CJ house. Even under such high pressure, Hydra ended up with a record of 42-24 in team leagues, giving himself the right to the title of CJ's Ace Zerg. During this time, Hydra won the PDPop MSL beating Great in a ZvZ finals. His strong mutalisk and zergling micro overwhelmed any mind games or prepared strategies that Great employed. Since then, he has proved that he isn't a one trick pony, and has gotten into the semi finals in both the ABC Mart MSL and the Jin Air OSL.
Known for his exceptional mutalisk use, Hydra tends to use safe conventional strategies to win. He isn't the most exciting player, but he is the most solid in the game. You can rely on Hydra to get the job done when it matters most. While his namesake might not be currently relevant in SC2, Hydra has shown that through hard work you can overcome any disability (He’s practically blind in one eye). Hydra has always risen to the challenge in the past, stepping up to the plate when CJ needed him the most. And Hydra will prove himself more than capable in the new season, whether it is a new format, new map, or a new game.
CJ was there in the beginning as Prosuma GO. We forged players like Nal_rA, Midas and XellOs. We survived through tough times, and triumphed when no one thought we could. We forged Saviour, Much, and Iris, and we lifted that 2009 Winner’s League trophy up sKyHigh. The match-fixing left us scared, but not beaten, and even hungrier than ever for victory.
And CJ will be there in the end, as CJ Entus. The word Entus means Entertainment and Enthusiasm. Our games will show you the hallmark of what it means to give an entertaining game and will leave you breathless as you witness our players crazy multitasking. If BW is to go out with a bang, and with it the ushering of a new era, then CJ will be the first in its grasp for victory. What better to represent this than the team represents a unification of two different sides? Our BW games will prove to you that we were always winners, and our SC2 games will break the very foundations of your understanding of the game.
Thx to everyone who wrote any of the articles mentioned here. Also dropbear, treehugger and GTR for some of the past CJ hype threads, and Lastlie who wrote the preview for the playoffs, which I have also drawn inspiration.
Thanks also to sluggaslamoo and kwjcj for their contributions. Also thanks to IntoTheWow for providing an introduction in the SPL thread when all of the other inferior teams didn’t have any. :p
Time for CJ to lose in more than one game to KT me thinks! huehue. Just kidding. Looking forward to seeing Leta's play in SC2 as well as in BW, the 2port Banshee is virtually the same build as the 2 port wraith except with a bit more transitioning potential due to addon swapping :p
This post was really awesome. As someone who didn't follow broodwar at all, I didn't really know anything about any of the teams. Now I have a team to root for.
Wow, amazing post. Makes me wish I was around during the Brood War days. As someone with little to no knowledge of the PL teams, your hype actually gave me a team to root for. Thanks! Go CJ!

Hahaha, I'm glad I got the Emperor, Dreamer, and Storm references
I can't say i really have a strong opinion on many Brood War teams/pro's since I only started watching this last year, but stuff like this is just amazing. I feel like I already know more about CJ Entus now than I do about most current Sc2 teams.

You are missing the joke, Hydras are rarely built and are very niche units in SC2.

Yeah, the only downside is because of SC2's design, they'll turtle, max in 10 minutes, and send waves to die until they win, just like effort did against flash. He didn't even make roaches. So...it's nice I guess that sc2 has no lulls, but that's a bit fast for my taste.

To be fair, Effort got onto 3 bases in like 5 minutes, and even by the 10:30 mark he only had 20 lings, the rest of his supply being workers.
Also when Effort attacked Flash had two siege tanks in his main. I think he tried to set up his third base too quickly, but to be honest any sort of timing attack would have killed Effort. I don't think he even scouted the third base of Flash when he built it so quickly.

Agreed, I too was wondering why SPL introducing SC2 hadn't gotten more attention on TL.
Was commenting on how long it took to write the article, not on how long it took for proleague to change formats... If you want my opinions on that.... send me a PM. This thread is for hyping up players that I have been a fan of ( and for anti-fans to make useless comments too ), so I won't discuss that here.

Also Drones don't exist in SC2 either.... at least not SC1 Drones (which can defeat 60 HP SCVs easily): (For an SC2 unit comparison, Drones could be like Phoenixes [if the player controlled them right] except a ground unit that Zerg can build and take down armies of SCVs single handledly)
(If Youtube doesn't automatically set it to to 5 min 20 second mark, go to 5 min 20 second mark for SC1 Drone action!)
Anyway I agree about the Wraith too. In SC1, most units had the ability to move shoot (like the Phoenix) if controlled right.
This is better than the Banshee move shooting (if done right, you could move and shoot without stopping at all like the Phoenix).

That drone micro ... Soo probably was being given some secret lesson from the god of war him self no other than July . It's sad to see july in sc2 getting owned in every possible manner . In broodwar if your micro was good you are better than rest of the guys already however in sc2 you have to deal with non micro characteristic like Creep spread which is really AMAZING.
Zergs have went from a micro essential race to spreading creep tumours and creep across the map so units can travel from point a to b in a much faster manner . Anyway I hope July really likes sc2 and continue working on his creep spread and probably dream of the days when he was owning players left and right with only muta's . Sad to see you in this way july.

July stopped becoming a televised player by the time he was switching to SC2 anyway.

I must have watched this vid at least 20 times but every single time I get so many nerdchills.
This is what OP was referring to when he said
SkyHigh made his mark in the 2009 Shinhan Bank Winner's League, where he triumphed over Hwaseung Oz after three of his teammates fell to the grasp of the Tyrant.
New CJ fan here! Watched 3 seasons of proleague prior to the hybrid season without really rooting for a team. Now that they play sc2 (i only played bw for like a year), might as well cheer for CJ!

So Sawamura, when are you and Blind-Rawr gonna write KT's Hype thread ?
TBH, main point of this thread was to get people that are gonna watch Proleague to watch some good BW games by CJ players, as well as to introduce Starcraft's most influential team. Watching any BW game does you some good and really puts SC2 and the upcoming expo in perspective. SC2's one and only peer will ever only be it's expansions and BW after all.

Didn't Hwaseung Oz do really badly (especially Z players) that they had to resort to PirateZerg, MustacheZerg and OzSuckBallWithOutMeZerg?
to all sc2 fans here, i mean originally, isnt it weird to see scbw players here in the sc2 forums? i dont mean it in a bad way, its just a funny feeling like someone you've known only in name for some time and then you get to meet them the first time. I hope this is good for sc2.

He is still fucking good and his SC2 skills are sharp as well . Look at his game against Sea in SC2 . It was a fast paced reasonably high level TvT . He could have very well practised a lot of SC2 since he has had lesser showings in BW .

TBH, main point of this thread was to get people that are gonna watch Proleague to watch some good BW games by CJ players, as well as to introduce Starcraft's most influential team. Watching any BW game does you some good and really puts SC2 and the upcoming expo in perspective. SC2's one and only peer will ever only be it's expansions and BW after all.
Well considering how the games have been for this new proleague hybrid blind rawr and me weren't so hyped in to making a hype thread . Because it's kind of a coin flip if we compare today's bw game to previously high standard matches we are so use too . So yeah maybe some one or me will make the hype if it is worthy to do so.
I like your effort put in to this thread to introduce the sc2 newbies to our proleague scene but it's kind of hard to get hype about anything now when there is no longer broodwar T_T. If the current format was used for last year season imagine all the amazing matches we could have gotten instead . Bo7 + Ace I would be screaming STATsssssssssssssssss , MAfiaaaaaaaa,Ultimate weapon and I don't give a damn if the police catch me because it's freaking broodwar .
Edit : In my opinion we should do one solid write up on the last osl this year to give a proper closure for broodwar ... and maybe that's just my opinion.
You do remember what was the last "destroy everybody in x-year" related to CJ right?
Other than that, nice thread introducing CJ and putting our team on the map for new fans and people looking to know the teams and maybe start following them. GJ on that
EDIT: Plus a few picks of Idra when he was at CJ would go a long way in gathering new fans lol

Um Sea has been absolutely terrible for a long time.
If you look at these you will realize that both of these players are now awful and no where near there former skill. I always get annoyed when people talk about sky like he's still good at tvt when the only good tvt players these days are Flash, Fantasy, and Leta
Its kinda weird this season considering we don't know anything about any of the teams SC2 skill or how well they are developing. Weirder still is that teams have no idea about each others SC2 skill or styles. And EVEN more weird is the teams themselves don't even know what they are good at. Roll da dice some moar.
I enjoy watching BW fans argue about teams. Although I am slightly dissapointed its not more like European soccer team fans with the riots and the booze and the debauchery.
Any way to get some context on how that even happened? lol. For us fans that have never watched or really pay attention to the BW scene but watch the video for a good laugh.

Well, for someone outside of the BW scene it's probably best to tell you that a whole lot of silly dressing-up and celebrating has happened over the years for fun, advertisement, and attention... Try looking up firebathero.
