Don't forget the rumors of Byul possibly moving to EG. Something big is stirring beneath the surface. I, for one, would love to see Stephano vs Jaedong. you might well see stephano and jaedong in the same match... on the same team too ;p

Only can do weekends on OGN? Hey, the other two nights can be on GOM. Only have seven teams? GSTL has enough to make it an actual Proleague and not a dwindling amount of teams every single season.
Proleague is not going to do anything but continue to dissolve until ESF/KeSPA come together and make a real Proleague. I'm not saying LG-IM vs. KT is going to start the new SC2 boom period in Korea, but it would be a good start. Sadly, with talks of fees and ESF teams other than FXO, LG-IM and possibly Startale with enough money to pay it, we'll probably never see KeSPA letting minnows like HoSeo play on OGN.
I'm mostly in agreement with this. GOM even said that they'd love to have a combined team league.
I honestly think KeSPA just doesn't care, and is more than happy to toss SC2 and go full LoL (and other games). It makes sense.

It must be FXO, the foreign funded Korean team - KeSPA may want a long-term partner, of which EG/Fnatic will not meet. They might just play 1,2 seasons and take off like every foreign team in Korea before. FXO satisfies this requirement (and of course that fee payment) - KeSPA may want a really strong team. FXO >>>>> [insert foreign team]. They are actually GSTL reigning champ.
Whats left is how they resolving the situation with eSF. Otherwise, I really dont want to see EG/Fnatic competing for the sake of Proleague's quality & prestige.

It also seems that many people around OGN and in Korea think that developing a foreign audience and involvement is crucial, but still no stream. -_-
If there really is no stream, it's not all that bad, we can always just watch Sayle get trolled about sounding like orb, or any other shenanigans that are bound to occur. Hopefully Sayle can take us on another magical ride and cast proleague.
Shoutout to oooooophidian as well, he always has a very good livestream for proleague as well.
you mean DOA and montecristo, they're casting..

Is it confirmed that montecristo and doa will be casting SPL? Or just speculation?

IF a foreign team gets into proleague, that would be the biggest news ever in e-sports korea.

Well that kind of narrows it down. EG, really? Over FXO? Was this your decision?

Acer signs MMA and Cella and they have Nerchio and Scarlett
that's 3 Zergs
no idea if they have other players on their team, but they can sign someone to fill up 5 roster spots
3 Zerg team comp too strong

The article only states 3 names. Today (this isn't a final decision) ESF teams won't be in proleague, ESF will talk about it with the public eventually. But as far as I know, we were never offered to be in proleague. If we had been offered, of course I would play in it. Its proleague. To think I would make a decision not to play in proleague isn't very nice.

EG to join pro league and add a team house + LOL team (shortly after) imo.
|
only 2 days a week on television? i wonder what that does to the players moral... i miss the days when we had 14 teams in pl too... this is like when a country is in recession and devalues its own currency to make it easier to export stuff. still, it would be cool to see a foreign team get smashed in pl.

Surely you troll right?
That or you have absolutely no clue about the foreign scene. Acer.Bly has been crushing online tournaments for a looooooong time now and took 2nd at DreamHack Bucharest. And then there's ParanOid and DarkHydra who could possibly pull an unexpected win or two if need be. So Acer's looking pretty good... but I really really doubt it's them.

So which players does EG have in Korea? I mean, if they'd move their team house (and all the non-Korean players) to Korea, then they'd have enough, but I kinda don't see that happening.

Well, I doubt Nerchio and Scarlett would move to Korea for the 3-4 months needed for a Proleague season.

They have Byul (probably) , JYP, Puma, HuK and Thorzain will go to Korea soon (after or during IPL5 I think). Plus Hwanni the manager/coach/badass/whatever he is.
