I'd like to see FXO but from the point of sheer popularity and potential viewers EG makes the most sense.

If EG played PL, my mind would be so blown, I´d have to get medical treatment.

I remember Incontrol being very excited about "upcoming changes"

And next season they will have to search for a new team, just like it was with Liquid in GSTL. Not excited about this at all.

Given what Incontrol said in his recent blog, I'm thinking EG, a Fnatic/EG or TL/EG fusion. I'm unsure if EG could stand on their own in proleague without an all-kill format, but with some added support from Taeja/Hero(and co.) or Alive/Oz, it could work.
We'll have to wait and see though, but I'm hyped.

It's not FXO or Fnatic....The only teams with multiple above-the-Grubby-line players would be....

Liquid - only 3 Koreans, and the foreigners have generally not wanted to live in Korea full-time. On the other hand, Liquid'Sea.
EG - Little Korean presence. It'd be weird for them to have their whole team in Korea
Acer - I could actually see this. Scarlett left Eclypsia because they have no Korea plans, implying Acer does. They just made a big pick-up and got a coach (Cella), which is a strange thing to do if you don't plan to have a team house. Most proleague teams still have one really good guy and a bunch of BW players who aren't getting SC2 at all (Bisu ;_;), so Acer could do surprisingly well in a proleague format. Having a female player who can beat top Koreans (albeit not consistently) is also a huge ratings draw.

So my guess would actually be Acer, but it could be, like, Quantic or something or some team no one's heard of to be the whipping boy of Proleague.

incontrol did say in his blog that EG had big plans for Korea coming up. This could be what he was referring to. But with their current line-up, they would get smashed. The only 2 players that would be able to take games off of the Kespa players would be JYP and Stephano (if he goes). Idra has been slumping, HuK is in a slump, Puma seems to have disappeared, Demuslim? is incredibly inconsistent. Idk EG seems rather weak to join the proleague.

Even though I do not like TL, I would they go take part in it because they would have a much much stronger line-up than EG.

Pretty hard to find a foreign team which is more suitable for proleague than EG. They got the money and management, they can put their players in Korea for a long time, and lineup is decent. They've been in the scene for many years. KeSPA will believe in EG's strong management.

Team combination, like liquid-EG, won't work in KeSPA's eyes, too unstable.

Hopefully. All those GSTL partnerships were horrible(SK-IM is kinda ok).
