 Cezanne.![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yDsKJ.jpg) To help improve the players Starcraft II skills, Team 8 have hired Cezanne as a coach. Cezanne was sighted at the Proleague game this Saturday against Air Force Ace on the Team 8 bench. The 29 year old Cezanne was a player-coach for the now-defunct Old Generations team. Head coach Han Sang-yong stated that "Cezanne has a good understanding of Starcraft II, and we expect our players to follow suit".

I guess it has to do with that the TL players house is actualy there own house not that of TL, they might just want more freedom instead of a coach even as cool as TheWind. Who knows. OT: Grats to Cezanne and T8 things are looking up the team is growing with players/coaches, now all it needs is a proper sponsor. | ||

Well the agreement was that federation teams could not take players yet prime has aria and MVP has lure so I might guess that the plans for a new team fell apart if the federation is recruiting the former members. | ||

Gon had gone to the military. Which left TheStC as the next oldest after Cezanne and TheWind. Everyone else was like born in 1990 or later. TheStC probably wouldn't take a coaching role since he's in Code S and I don't think KeSPA teams will be looking to sign any pure-SC2 players. Not until the end of BW leagues. | ||

You could speculate that TheWind was more expensive and therefore not chosen for the job. This is nonetheless a good pickup by T8, over the years Cezanne must have learned something. oGs was a powerhouse in the early days. | ||

I dont see any of them running around competing in the GSL(Perhaps choya but thats it). I wont really judge his coaching skills, but it is not like ogs produced bad players in any shape Good for T8 tho, they get someone who can teach them how the game works, because at the moment most of the proleague teams seems to have no clue what strats work in sc2.... Shouldnt this news be in the BW section tho(The part with woongjin getting slayers coach is forexample) | ||

Interesting to see the oGs players being dispersed among these teams, Korean, KeSPA, and foreign alike. I'm sad that the team itself hasn't reformed, but I hope players like Supernova and TheWind find teams. Too bad they can't really join the KeSPA teams since I think they supposedly have a year-long embargo against recruiting pure SC2 players, and the hybrid format is just not compatible with any pure SC2 player. This on top of Woongjin hiring former SlayerS coach Ryu Won really shows that some KeSPA teams are really investing in this SC2 switch. | ||

You can inform someone of something in a much nicer tone than was given, so that he actually takes the time to look it up, rather than just piss him off and have him start arguing back with you while not really caring to research. If you've been on these boards for as long as I have you can tell there is a continuing trend to lash back after being even slightly insulted, which eventually leads to some form of all out bashing and a derailing of the original thread. On a different note, I really hope TheWind gets picked up by a team as well. His ties with bw progaming should certainly help him try and land a kespa team. His foot has been in the door for many years, and it definitely seems plausible for a team to pick him up. | ||
