Glad to see people still remember me. Looking forward to this new season and hopefully being involved in the TL community again! | ||

I'm not sure if people know that the maps are switched out every round or so, which definitely keeps the league feeling fresh. Along with format changes  . This is why I don't understand EG being the foreign team. You have to plop your team in Korea for a year, and then make the players learn new maps every round. Assuming the EG players still want to play at the other international tournaments all year as well, I don't see how this makes any of their results better. Players like Stephano who really just want to get into a weekend tournament to get into the prize pool I don't think are going to want to play a year long format league and learn maps they'll never play outside of it. | ||

Their probably announcing new members. Also ThorZaIN said in a recent interview (in swedish) that he'll be returning to Korea at the end of this year. I feelt he also slightly hinted that there will be a new EG house over there. | ||

 , whenever idra wins like 2 series in a tournament everyone hops into the idra train saying that he's the best player around and that the tournament is already in his pocket blah blah blah xD. Dont get me wrong... i would LOVE to see EG in PL but only time will tell maybe is just some chinese clan or a mixture of foreigners (that would be awesome too) (and btw im not an idra hater) | ||

EG has been quiet for quite some time, they might pick up a few players, also considering that some contracts are most likely coming to an end (usually last 1 year) might free up some cash for them Yup, agreed. Pretty sure they'll have some pretty big news coming soon. | ||

If this is so I demand that every time a Liquid player is picked to play he does some kind of ceremony to become "Evil" version ala Street Fighter before the game. IT WILL BE GLORIOUS | ||

I don't think merges have any place in team leagues, and absolutely not in such a legit league as Proleague where every team have dedicated fanbases and the competition should be a 100% team effort, not having help from "standins" from some partnership with another team that contributes with 1-2 good players. | ||

Don't you have some kind of pride in your team? There must be a reason you got stuck with the team you are supporting right? EG and Liquid are the biggest rivals when it comes to the foreigner scene, how could you wish to cheer for your rivals and share glory with them? Imagine if KT and SKT1 merged to play GSTL, how freaking lame that would be.

A lot of it is probably because team league are pretty much just a side thing in SCII, while they where a huge thing in BW. Hopefully at some point team leagues will increase in importance in SCII, though I see that as unlikely as long as the GSTL and PL are separate. | ||

I definitely won't be watching all the games and would be a horrible OP for an LR thread. And making a lineup thread for just 2 games 4 times a week may clog up the forums. | ||
