It's been all but confirmed by fxo.boss that EG will be the foreigner team participating in Proleague, which is kinda bad. They've never had the most stellar teamleague performances, to put it mildly. Then again, they are Airforce ACE's replacement so... *shrugs*.

I will cheer my heart and soul out if it was EG despite me being a TL fanboy and can't wait for PL to be back.

must be a dream for most of them to be able to participate in proleague

never in the 4 years of following starcraft would I imagine a foreign team being apart of it, who cares if they get crushed I am still going to watch lol

The foreign team will be Team Liquid.

Or EG.

No other teams could possibly be it.

I'll go with EG though.

I hope ongamenet continues to broadcast the games with the game being bright. They did that for the hybrid league. Idk why other tourneys always casts it in the stupid gloomy dark way as in not very bright.

YAY PROLEAGUE! IDK who the foreign team is, but I imagine it will be tough since PL will last a whole year and playing would be rough unless the players live in Korea full time.

I'm actually quite happy that eSF players won't be in PL. It just makes it that much more special when eSF players and Kespa players DO eventually meet. It will happen in some way shape or form. It doesn't have to be right now! I liken it to Major League Baseball before Interleague play. I liked the fact that the World Series featured 2 teams that were the tops in their leagues that never played each other. I'm sure there will be a showdown eventually between the top GSTL team and the top PL team and when there is, it'll be that much more epic that if they were all playing in the same league while Kespa players are still developing. Just my 2 cents.

Did you really expect a merger coming within couple of months?

Unless they are both in big trouble, that won't happen. At least right now, they can both float, KeSPA with big companies to backup, eSF teams with foreign fans to support. Maybe one year later, everything will change.

How many players do you need on your team to actually be able to participate in PL? I'm going to guess that its 6, but I'm not sure. The question then is which foreign team has six Koreans, or six players willing to spend long periods of time in Korea in order to actually do this? Given that requirement, I think its more likely going to be Liquid. They already have four Koreans, and Ret and TLO have already spent long periods of time in Korea in the past. Sheth too even. Given that info, I really think its TL that's doing this. It could be EG too, but it would be a bit harder to get some of their guys to stay in Korea for so long, especially Stephano.

I don't think you can classify Liquid as a foreign team anymore.

If it was EG, wouldn't they be in Korea in full practice mode right now? Seems like they are just chilling in the EG lair playing HotS the last week or so.

I mean, they'll probably make playoffs, but even with all-kill format I don't expect Flash to be insta-win...he'll probably average around two kills a match.
