This is probably the coolest news I've seen in all of SC2. I'm hoping this means that IdrA is back in Korea and Stephano will finally stay in Korea. IdrA was just so much better in the Korean practice environment and I want to see what Stephano can really do up against the big guns of Korea. And they have a Korean coach! This is just awesome news.

Holy shit this is so cool. Proleauge should be really good this season which should make up for the abomination that was the hybrid proleague.

Ho. Ly. Shit.

I'm hyped beyond belief. I haven't been this hyped since Liquid announced it was sending people to Korea for GSL.

Proleague is going to be intense!

I don't see how EG in it's current state will contribute with anything other than $$$ . None of the EG players are top tier right now, but I guess they can buy almost anyone . Whatever.

oh wow didn't see this one comming.
the two biggest non korean teams joining forces to compete in one of esports most prestigious tournaments, or rather leagues.
great to hear that the teams will have a new pro house (same building as lg-im).
also very interested to see how it will work out in terms of success. but i also realize there will be a bit less drama in sc2 now -.-
i will miss all the fanboys bashing on each other.
feels a bit like the big villages joining forces is shippuuden...
best of luck liquid eg!

*edit*: actually i like the name liquid geniouses better

JYP also did very well in GSTL for Slayers. They even used him as the ace a few times on their way to the finals

This is incredible.

A real coach who holds his players accountable is the best thing to happen to EG and Idra in particular in a long while.

Oh yeah, the proleague and TL partnership are cool too : p
