GSTL seems kinda redundant
How so?
I'd assume from TL's perspective, not the GSTL itself. Would be too time consuming to participate in two offline teamleagues plus individual leagues plus oversea tournaments. All we need now is a grand final between PL and GSTL winning teams at the end of the year.
Isnt that what their plan is? Play in Korea, because they are establishing mutual team house there? Now playing only in the PL and not in GSTL or GSL would be strange.
It isn't a mutual team house, it's just EG's house in Korea.

JYP/Sea/Zenio/Puma and then the ??? player and maybe IdrA in case he already is in Korea by then.
A lineup that doesn't seem good enough to beat KT to me, but we'll see.
Isn't Stephano going to be in Korea in time for the match? If so, I can see him winning a match against any of the KT players, even Flash. And Huk might stand a chance too considering he knocked out Action in the last Code A prelims.
Nope.
EGStephano @EGStephanoRC
I am FINALLY home after a crazy tournament month. I have 2 week of resting after what I chain with Millenium house tournament and HSC!
Yeah, I forgot HuK initially, I'm sure he'll play.

Bummer.
He'll be a valuable asset for EG-TL once he gets to Korea. I hope the full roster assembles soon.
Pro league is going to be an entire year, but I only expect stephano to play a handful of matches during that time.

Dang. They will need to assemble quickly too. If they play too much of the first round shorthanded like this they will fall behind the standings quickly. Hopefully the holdouts who are there can hold down the fort, especially for their first match without Taeja, HerO, and Demuslim.
I am curious who's going to play, idra said he isn't going till january/february, Stephano is home, Demuslim has NASL and I think hero and taeja have NASL as well?
I mean dunno that leaves huk/puma/jyp/thorzain and idk who else xD

I hope we'll at least get a Stephano vs Jaedong match. The master vs the fanboy. It's a matchup that must be played eventually.
I have a simple question for anyone willing to answer it: Are any ESF teams participating in the Kespa Proleague, and if not, why not? Why wouldn't they have all the best teams from both sides competing?

There are none this season
The problem is that you have to pay to get into proleague, and the prize is too high for ESF teams apparently
Maybe there are some other reasons but I think that's the more "official" one

Oh I forgot about those 2 lol that would be 6 so yeah kind of a shame that most of the big guns of EG/TL the more popular ones like idra/stephano/hero/taeja since those are kind of heavy fan favorites.

Jaedong is the fanboy? Because it was Jaedong who asked Stephano for an autograph, said that he loves him, and was looking up to him for learning. Stephano, on the other hand, didn't even know the story of Jaedong much before.
So unless my ears weren't working properly, IdrA just said on his stream that he doesn't know if he's going to Korea or not and is currently practicing HotS full time because he doesn't really expect to be playing many tournaments.
It still doesn't stack up with LoL (which has a $230,000 prize pool for just one of their probable 4 seasonal tournaments), but it shows that OGN still has faith in SC2 and are trying to make this a success.
I'm curious who this last unannounced player is? I'm speculating it's probably ByuL? But heres a crazy theory, Naniwa is currently without team and in need of a new home in Korea, he forfeited his Ro16 match's against Polt in the NASL which just happens to be the same weekend as EGTL vs KT. Although it's highly unlikely I'd pay good money to see Naniwa and Idra live under the same roof
The prize pool is pretty amazing, will be interesting to see how the maps play out.
The map pool will be the hardest challenge for EGTL imo, I don't think many ESF players will be up for custom games as much on maps they never play on.
Hopefully Blizzard/Gom/Kespa/Everyone else in Korea really put a lot of effort into marketing HOTS.
