I am shocked. And excited, and shocked! I was kind of bummed to hear a foreign team would be in proleague, I don't think any of them measure up. But EG and Liquid combined, makes a pretty compelling argument against my previous notions. This is quite exciting!

Please TL.net, show the tournament you are participating in in your calendar. I would very much like to see when it starts in my timezone. And currently there is no Proleague event on 8th of December in the calendar. It would very much suck to miss it.

Proleague > GSTL in terms of prestige, though.

Very cool. The word "storyline" has become way overused over the last few months imo, but as a partnership this does seem like it could go places holding lots of different exciting aspects of StarCraft for us to enjoy. Glad both parties were able to make this happen, looking forward to seeing where it'll go!

IdrA doing pretty well recently too. The lineups here are pretty stacked!

HerO Taeja Stephano need to play pretty much every single war, but the 4th person could be any of their other players. Really looking forward to this!

This came completely out of left-field for me. Pretty damn cool though. Taeja, Zenio, Sea, and HerO + Puma, JYP, idrA, HuK, FranceZerg, and Thorzain...sounds like a seriously competitive line-up to be honest. Sure Zenio hasn't done much in a long time, Sea hasn't totally proven himself yet, and HuK has seriously struggled for the past year, but Taeja and HerO are still beasts, idrA has been showing signs of turning it around, Puma can still take games off of anyone, JYP was amazing for slayers in gstl, Stephano will break out of his sudo-slump thing, and Thorzain is a pretty nice little weapon off of the bench.

More than anything I'm excited to see if this will light a fire under Sea though. If there's anything that will motivate an ex-kespa player it's throwing them back into proleague.

All things considered, this should be an exciting proleague!

Edit: Still a khan fanboy though, bring it on TL/EG! Stork could still beat you at WoW I'm sure

Although this was one of the possibilities for the "foreign team" this still comes as a big surprise. A very welcome surprise indeed

*Walks in after the nerdgasms subside*

Liquid`Sea's Proleague experience will be huge for EGTL.
I think this roster can win in both the regular PL format as well as the winners league format.

Can't wait for the next season!
