I hope that the other staff members took notes from Coach Park as well, since there is only one of that man and every team should have good coaching. I think having him come in for a year will still be a huge help to both teams just because they were working with almost nothing before.

you guys all forget that if you ever win proleague you're basically a really big winner in korea
winning proleague might (or not) bring much more sponsor money you could ever imagine
and in korea that is
some KESPA teams are filthy rich actually

Congrats to CJ!
Still, would really have liked to see how much Jaedong could improve with Park's help.

CJ is rich. First acquiring Blaze and Frost, and now Coach Park? So rich. CJ is a huge entertainment group in korea. They're basically equivalent to Warner Bros in USA. So not surprised they invested into 2 LoL teams as well as coach Park. But look at the bright side, at least that means sc2 isn't completely dead in korea considering CJ thought it was worth it to invest in a new coach. I think Coach Park will also manage those LoL teams, LoL doesn't have well established coach after all. So it's more of a confirmation on LoL's popularity, rather than SC2 being popular. Most KeSPA head coaches from rich teams also moderate their LoL teams. Completely wrong. When CJ acquired the Frost/Blaze duo, they also acquired their head coach OnAir and his sub-ordinate Kezman. fOru rounds up the coaching staff coming from the previous CJ team. The same applies for all the other KeSPA teams with LoL squads - KT Rolster have  ZanDarke, SKT T1 have  LittleBoy and Jin Air Green Wings have Ensnare. TL:DR - LoL and SC2 divisions are operated separately.
Thank you for the clarification. That was really helpful. We need to be harsher on people disseminating misinformation.

I would love for the two leagues to merge. I would watch a whole lot more and cheer for the foreign teams. No foreign teams though and I lose interest fast. It would be an EPIC league still.
I've been travelling these last few months and have only been able to catch a few eg-tl and axiom/acer matches in internet cafes around south east asia. Better casting for pl would do wonders imo.
I wish we knew more about blizzards plans for leagues, individual and potential team leagues to help teams(and fans) plan into the next year. Must be hard to make decisions when you don't have the complete picture. For example, will there be more studio matches in na in the future... Residency requirements maybe? The location of such a studio is also important if you plan a long term team house... So much unknowns for us the fans right now. Hopefully he teams have more info

You do realize trOt was on the SKT coaching staff prior to the EG stint right? *raises eyebrow* It's okay guys soon all of EG's woes will be resolved when Dario teaches them the ways of the beard.

The bearded one cometh. In just one week we will see noticeable improvement in their facial hair.

Oh well. 
He was the lifeline to hoping for another season of EG-TL in Proleague. So much about that. Going back now to how things were before Coach Park just doesn't make much sense. Really a shame.
Next, JD back to his former team? That'd seal it.

Why do people think that the next season of PL is a guarantee? IIRC it took them long time to find the sponsor for the current one. Think about that.

Proleague being awful for english viewers is why EGTL doesn't care about it.

Them not having a snowballs chance in hell of ever placing in the playoffs in their current form is probably another reason as well...

If EG-TL bails, EST should just create a single all-star team from the best players of all teams :D That would be so baller. Would prob be hard to get them to work together like any all-star team but still, amaze

What exactly are you talking about?

Wow I kinda feel sad. I thought Coach Park and EG-TL have so much potential combined and will just take time to get results

Coaching in sc2 is over rated anyway.

The evidence for Coach Park speaks volumes, he had the power to make teams win. Good player management always makes teams better.

JD back to jinair, honestly his time at EG isn't at all useful if he's to start winning championships again.

He just took second at Dreamhack this weekend. Thats pretty good as things go.

EG-TL's success in the next season of Proleague is dependent on several factors. Will Jaedong opt to stay with EG or go back to Jin Air? Will STX really go into administration and either force KeSPA to keep their team afloat or disband? Will EG use the money they'd gain from losing lucrative contracts with IdrA, Stephano and Jaedong to pick up Innovation? Would Liquid finally pick up a good Terran that isn't Taeja? Would KeSPA open the floodgates for eSF teams and if so, how many and which ones?
