MVP has arguably the best team in the world I would speculate that MVP doesn't have the sponsors. If any ESF teams-- it would be IM or StarTale. Team Liquid back in GSTL would be exiting though... I hope at least *that* happens. MVP is sponsored by razer, Lotte Chilsung, Expedia, and i think maybe even benq. Ozone sponsors one of their LoL teams but idk what ozone even is so http://www.ozonegaming.com/

Today, it is with great appreciation that Evil Geniuses & Team Liquid announce the departure of Head Coach Park from our StarCraft divisions’ Pro league team. Coach Park has been offered the recently-vacated Head Coaching role at CJ Entus, and both EG-TL and Coach Park agree that it is in his best interests to accept the position.
Both EG and TL have benefited enormously from Coach Park’s tenure. This is true not only in terms of wins and losses (a recent analysis posted on TL.net outlined in detailed fashion the improvement EG-TL saw under his leadership), but also in terms of player management philosophy and general mentality. Coach Park is absolutely incredible at what he does, and we both lucky to have worked with him for part of this year. We will certainly miss him, but we are also very happy for him and wish him nothing but the best.
He had this to say about his time with EG-TL: “I have been sincerely happy to be with EG-TL. I was able to learn much and there were things left to be desired during these days. If I am to get a chance like this again in the future, I would like to be someone who can live up to the many fans’ expectations. I will visit you again with a different look. Thank you very much for your attention and love.”
Coach Park’s departure is not indicative of EG-TL’s future in Pro League one way or the other. With our team’s participation in this season now being over, we’re currently weighing the plusses and minuses of being a part of the prestigious team league, and haven’t made any decisions on what the future will look like for us. For the time being, we will keep the same training facility setup (with Assistant Coach trOt continuing to live with the players full-time) as we decide what to do going into next season.
In conclusion, we would like to once again stress that we cannot emphasize enough how much we appreciate Coach Park as a person, and how much we enjoyed working with him. There is no doubt in our minds that he will bring great success to CJ Entus.
Sincerely,
Alexander Garfield (CEO, Evil Geniuses) & Victor Goossens (CEO, Team Liquid) They got last place, the ROI is not good...especially without Park

Hahahah, seriously. You know absolutely nothing about what you're talking about.
You think EG-TL put even a fraction of the effort into SPL as Woonjin Stars or STX? Their players streamed a ton of hours, flew to global tournaments on a monthly/weekly basis, and their foreigners weren't even required to go to the team house.

this sucks
we're going to need some clarity on the korean team league scene pretty soon, here. basically everything is up in the air right now.

Coach Park spreading the love, huh. Congratulations to CJ Entus, champion of Proleague 2014!

With joining proleague they did the following: Got another teamhouse Proleague entry fee(huge fee think 50k-100k or something like that) 3 new players(jaedong,oz & alive) Coach park(gee he must have been cheap!)
Doesn't sound very serious to me.

This is unfortunate for EGTL but congrats to coach park.

with park for a full season, look out for cj 2013-2014
|
Doesn't look good for EG-TL staying in pro league, with NSH possibly disbanding both leagues could have pretty small leagues. I guess EG-TL could play in GSTL if they keep a house in korea with how much more relaxed it is, at least get some exposure.
IM/MVP to proleague would be pretty awesome
Hopefully CJ pick up a few good players when the trade lock is up, or even Jjajkji if his team disbands.

It's not to say they didn't take it seriously, but that they didn't take it as seriously as the teams they were playing against. For EG-TL, Proleague was a big priority among other priorities. While they invested deeply into Proleague, they definitely made some compromises that hurt their Proleague competitiveness.
For KeSPA teams, Proleague is THE top priority above all others. It's difficult to compete in that kind of situation.

EDIT: Nvm, they were in 6th. 17-25.
EDIT 2: Nvm, that's their final score. I'm an idiot.
EDIT 3: 11-10 before the switch. 6-15 after. Ouch.

I don't think GOM has a choice on this one, the GSTL just gone was very low-key and although Dreamhack was on the same time 15k viewers for the finals speaks volumes. I wouldn't be surprised to see all the stable ESF teams switch over - LG-IM, FXO and MVP. - Not listing Prime as they're apparently struggling financially (with no proof of it myself)
