(Z)CoCa (최종환) will be playing in stage 1 of the IEM qualifiers for KeSPA players. The brackets show he's part of 8th Team.

[image loading]


(Z)CoCa is an ex-SlayerS and ex-ZeNEX Zerg, who left SC2 a couple of months ago for League of Legends, and has recently made his return to SC2.

As much as people may not like it, KESPA is the way forward as a player. I can't blame him.

ugh, I was hoping for a sponsored team.

But if Team 8 cut major (asked TRUE to retire?) to make room for Coca, rather than orderly close out the team, then I'm happy for Coca. Team 8 needs a strong zerg.

Can't blame both Coca and Puzzle for going to KESPA teams when they were so righteously fucked over by the other ESF teams while they were on SlayerS. The practice ban thing was pretty disgusting IMO.

The real story about the practice ban has also never been fully told and there are contradictions everywhere. I'm not getting back into this bullshit, but don't just spread negativity when you don't know the actual truth behind it.

He didn't indicate joining anything when he qualified for Code A, there must have been a reason.

And that was part of the reason why the eSF tried to prohibit players from practicing with Slayers. It was a very shady move, and when it was reveal, Coach Won of Startale, who was president of eSF, had to apologize and step down. But by then it was already too late, and Slayers was dead.

Someone correct me here then, I thought there was a whole debacle with SlayerS and the ESF where teams on ESF were essentially "banned" from practicing with SlayerS players? If that did in fact happen, it seems fairly obvious why they would both end up on KeSPA teams, right?

If you missed what happened to SlayerS, check this timeline:

http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=378097
(not sure why it was locked by a moderator(?))

Anyways. So maybe there will still be 8 teams for the next Proleague season if EG-TL will also stick around.

Oh boo hoo I clearly stated it was just my opinion, which I can spread whenever and however I please. I wasn't saying in some crazy, objective way that I knew exactly what was going down. Just that I thought the practice ban thing as I understood it, was disgusting.

Ok, what I'm saying is that there was some kind of restriction, but the details of it are not clear (i.e. there were interviews in which SlayerS and eSF players thanked each other for helping with practice). I was a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge SlayerS fan and when MMA left and then the team was announced to disband, those were incredibly sad days for me. However, I'm not in a rush to completely blame one side, be it eSF for imposing a restriction or SlayerS/Boxer/Jessica for... well I don't want to get into all this again!

How do you know, though? I mean i don't think tthey are dead either, but i have some doubts about their future. Especially Coca joining isn't news if Scarlett knew about it a month ago.

Ah ok gotcha. Touchy issue for you being a huge slayers fan. Don't wanna bring up old emotions n stuff. I totally get that. I'm just suggesting that since a whole lot of former SlayerS members have ended up on KeSPA teams that says something. You know, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck?

Now, what it says I'm not exactly sure but I think it has to do with them feeling slighted by ESF. That doesn't mean I can place the blame anywhere definitively I'm just saying theres a definite trend with where the former players are heading.

This actually says a lot, looks like team 8 will not disband on their own. Only if proleague can't continue next season, they will probably disband.

Good for coca, and good to see 8 isn't dead.

How do you know, though? I mean i don't think tthey are dead either, but i have some doubts about their future. Especially Coca joining isn't news if Scarlett knew about it a month ago.


Well it obviously doesn't show they're alive but hearing about them dropping 4 players then not picking anyone up would be worse then coca joining no?

Scarlett coming through with the news!

I wonder why this was not announced? Coca was one of the most promising players before the slip with Byun...

What is this slip with ByuN you speak of?


He was playing ByuN in an ESV weekly, ByuN was losing hard and asked CoCa to leave in the game chat, obviously this was considered to be akin to match-fixing and so both SlayerS and Prime benched the respective players for a while. It's especially tragic because CoCa was easily a top 5 Zerg at the time, and whatever restrictions SlayerS imposed upon him pretty much robbed him of the opportunity of greatness at the time. Hopefully he'll get back into a similar shape soon though. ^^

In one of the korean leagues maybe a year ago or two, Byun had the series lost but Coca gave him the game to go to the last set. CoCa was punished and sent home for a while

And that was part of the reason why the eSF tried to prohibit players from practicing with Slayers. It was a very shady move, and when it was reveal, Coach Won of Startale, who was president of eSF, had to apologize and step down. But by then it was already too late, and Slayers was dead. Fucking eSF


Yeah see, WTF! I knew I wasn't fucking stoned. Thank you for confirming.

But yes, I am actually stoned =(

Ok, what I'm saying is that there was some kind of restriction, but the details of it are not clear (i.e. there were interviews in which SlayerS and eSF players thanked each other for helping with practice). I was a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge SlayerS fan and when MMA left and then the team was announced to disband, those were incredibly sad days for me. However, I'm not in a rush to completely blame one side, be it eSF for imposing a restriction or SlayerS/Boxer/Jessica for... well I don't want to get into all this again!


Details are clear and facts are facts, Coach Won as a respresentative of eSF did this:

On October 19 2012, StarTale's head coach Won Jong Wook resigned from his position as president of the e-Sports Federation amid a controversy regarding the relationship between the Federation and the recently disbanded team SlayerS. Kim "Jessica" Ga Yeon, manager of the latter organisation, had indeed explained that the members of teams affiliated to the e-Sports Federation were instructed for a period of many months to not practice with SlayerS's players, which was a significant detriment in preparing for tournaments.

I remember CoCa being a monster until that scandal occured. I hope he does well on T8, I know his League Career was really awful, I don't even remember if he was diamond or not.

Ah ok gotcha. Touchy issue for you being a huge slayers fan. Don't wanna bring up old emotions n stuff. I totally get that. I'm just suggesting that since a whole lot of former SlayerS members have ended up on KeSPA teams that says something. You know, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck?

Now, what it says I'm not exactly sure but I think it has to do with them feeling slighted by ESF. That doesn't mean I can place the blame anywhere definitively I'm just saying theres a definite trend with where the former players are heading.

Yeah that's a good point, it definitely suggests that that might be the case.

As I already said, it isn't that clearly cut. Back when this happened, I spent hours going through shit and found many instances of players on both sides thanking each other for practice during what was guessed to be the ban period when I was in the midst of pointless, emotionally charged debates. This doesn't mean that there was not a ban, it just means that what actually happened between the teams during those months isn't as straightforward as "they never played games against each other".

Right though, I am going down the wrong road right now, I think it's time I leave this thread! Grats to CoCa!!!!!!

Problem was that Coca gave Byun a walkover because he had to sneak out of the house to play LoL.

I am not a fan of Team 8, but I'm really glad to see CoCa back. I also enjoy that the opinion of him seems to be so high, even after his little cheating scandal with ByuN.

if he is able to get in his old shape (or better) its a nice addition. The other 8th guys collecting good individual league results too lately and with JD coming back in 4-5 month (?) they can fight for a stable place in the mid of the bracket.

Yeah that´s what I dont get either O_o Also it seems like he joined the team some weeks ago, which was not announced. Maybe because they kney, that they will discharge some of the players later... And that would look stupid, signing one and releasing four.

Kicking a bunch of players for underperforming and then signing one that qualified for challenger league is a dumb move now?

Weren't Kespa just dropping players? It seems a bit odd for them to pick up CoCa.

Still, the evidence seems pretty convincing... we'll have to wait and see.

It's not Kespa only. The first stage of the qualifiers is divided into kespa and esf + koreans on international teams and Taiwanese players. The second stage combines the qualified players of both kespa and esf (+ Taiwanese and "international" koreans) and some seeded players.

More info: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=420370


Basically KeSPA organized their own qualifier just like for MLG, and IEM organized qualifier for other non-KeSPA Koreans.
Fuck you Zealously! For the fuck you give to those players.

CoCa was really impressive for a while. Hopefully he can climb back to that form.

very surprising O_O
CoCa is a Brand, at least in foreign szene he could have joined alot teams with an ok salary even not won alot in last time, his name pays out ... but team8 ? the most broken kespa team ? i cant see him get alot money there

Definitely sarcastic lol.

Edit: Oh wait maybe not. I thought he was talking about Scarlett "confirming" but he posted that before so he was probably just talking about "8th" being next to his name in the bracket which I guess is nothing to warrant sarcasm and he was probably serious.

Im more surprised SKT and Woongjin didnt join the qualifiers. STX and KT seems to be the more active teams in international competitions sending players to WCS AM qualifiers and such.

imo sponsored t8 will be one of the possible 2 new kespa teams with LG-IM being 2nd (i suppose LG being among biggest korean companies would suit KeSPa and they already got sc2 and lol divisions).I wonder how it will pan out

Still wondering why they took so long to announce it. Kept bugging coL too pick him up, but it was too late as he had already joined T8 (or signed? I dunno).

Figured they would have announced it after he qualified for Code A, but either way, CoCa has been wrecking KR ladder and qualifying for Code A should show he has what it takes to hopefully retake his spot as one of the best Zergs around. I think back before he gave up Code S he had a ridiculous ZvP win-rate, or something along those lines.

Cool news!

Hopefully we find out more pro league info soon as well, I can't see Kespa picking up players if pro league isn't going to start up again quickly.

There's no incentive to stay with eSF other than loyalty. Myself not caring if a team is kespa or ESF and having no loyalty to either organization I'd much rather see IM in Proleague because as a competition it is much better than GSTL. It airs more often, It's more serious, the competition is better, it's aired on OGN so they get more exposure.

i guess there won't be such thing as "joining only for lol". KeSPa does not seem to be an organization that will let such thing; i see them more of a "you either go full-on or gtfo" type of organization

Consider the fact that EG-TL would not be participating in the LoL proleague if they continue with the sc2 proleague next season.

But EG has a LoL team though(Probably not on the caliber of Korean teams though, I don't follow League). EG could theoretically stay in for LoL Proleague but also stick around in the SC2 proleague with TL.

No chance ever that EG LoL would leave EU LCS to play in Korea, absolutely no chance.

EG is an invite-only, foreign, filler kind of team imo.

Probably because they don't make the cut. When your near the bottom of the standings changes have to be made.
