Coach Park might be expensive, but im pretty sure IdrA left a good chunk of change with his departure. So to not continue this Korean venture would be an incredibly daft decision. Besides, wasn't the ProLeague entry fee something teams get back after completion ?

For foreign StarCraft fans, it was as if the 1980 U.S. men's hockey team had gone to the Olympics, forfeited to the USSR, then offered themselves as hostages to the Ayatollah.

Didn't know KeSPA were the ones to try and set up a deal with Coach Park, interesting.

Great article, totally worth taking the time to read. Lot of little gems of information

I don't get the hype...

It was a bunch of Koreans taking on Koreans... not like some huge step forward for foreigners even if they had take first.

It's awesome that Polygon is writing these articles this week, hopefully they stay pretty involved in competitive gaming in the future. (Unless i'm just ignorant of their previous work.)

Much better researched than most of the 'articles' that come out of the general gaming press.

That article was pretty amazing, and I thought I was fairly well-informed on how EG-TL acquired Coach Park. Seems the other way around really. Thank you Coach Park. /bow

Foreign fans are desperate. When the last time a foreigner won a Premier tournament? (It was Snute at HSC VI back in December 2012, in WoL).

That's why even though what you pointed out was true (the only foreigner that made a positive impact for EGTL was Stephano; Huk, Thorzain and Snute have been dead weight), people will still consider EGTL to be a foreign team, so the foreign team looks better. It's the same with Mvp and Jurgen. Sure, it's all in jest, but it is set against an undertone of desperation for the foreign scene, when even Europe cannot hold.

When you can't beat 'em, assimilate 'em and claim 'em as your own.
