It's interesting to see how Hero considers being stuck in a traffic jam as his own fault, at least in these public statements.

Hm, the lack of practice partners statement is pretty interesting. I wonder if being a "foreign" team has anything to do with it? Or if it's just because EG-TL is such a small team? It seems that the players don't have issues with practicing for the GSL (other than the problems Slayers and other "black-listed" teams had). I assume the difference is that other ESF players don't really have any incentive to help them practice on the Kespa maps (other than Neo Planet S).

Also, for anyone who understands South Korean geography better than I do, his statement on why he was late is a little confusing. Did he go to the Shin Do Rim studio by accident? Or is the Shin Do Rim studio just in between the EG-TL house and the Yong San studio? How did his teammates all get there before he did if he left first?

When in doubt about traffic, go early. It was his fault (in my opinion), others may disagree

Looking at how the sentence is phrased, I think he means that they don't have practice partners inside the team other than the players who will have to play in PL.

Kespa teams have dedicated, lower ranked, players who are there just to grind games against those who have to play in a specific match-up in proleague. EG-TL doesn't have that considering the size of their roster.

Then you call their company and he gets a big warning or gets fired. When they do that it's like cheesing - they're coin flipping, hoping you are unaware of their strategy, but if you know it they're screwed big time.

Hero said that he left earlier than the rest of EGTL.

Doesn't work quite as well in some Asian countries, I know in China taxi company works sort of like mafia.

When in doubt, read the explanation twice. If not in doubt, always read twice in case you should have doubt.

Thanks for translation Seeker!
Glad to see him do well after his DQ last week :-/ Strange that they don't have enough practice partners...Do both Kespa and ESF not practice with them or what?

I'm so happy HerO proved himself last night. I've been hoping for EG-TL to perform better but injured players and lack of practice partners are getting in the way. Glad to see them still pulling through, though.

If he left earlier than his teammates, why was he still stuck in traffic but they got to the studio on time?

I did. All it says is that he "didn't anticipate a traffic jam". So how did his team mates get there on time?
