I'd watch more Proleague if it was fun like the GSTL. SPL production seemed so stiff; everything is just rigid. I was really only interested in watching when EG-TL played.
The departure of Coach Park really makes future participation seem unlikely. Park really wanted to manage a non-Korean team. The press statement sounded like, "hey Park, we're leaning towards not participating; you should take the CJ job--you know, just in case". If there is no SPL in the future of The Unholy Alliance, I hope to see the two teams in GSTL--as separate teams.
For eSF teams going to SPL, LG-IM makes the most sense because they're sponsored by a "mother company" in LG. Their roster is also the most solid.

I'm really pleased for CJ. They have incredible players who just need a little nudge to bring them to the foreground in both team and individual leagues (I'm looking at you Effort and herO).
|
"Yeah right" to the second to last part. If they were going to stay in Proleague, it would be a really bad decision to let Coach Park go, unless they are happy being the literal team 8 (as in last).
But anyway, good news for CJ.
|
Sooooo.... seems like EGTL might just find it better to leave proleague I suppose...? <.<
|
CJ is rich. First acquiring Blaze and Frost, and now Coach Park? So rich.
|
I wonder how it was for him as an accomplished Korean coach suddenly on a foreign-coached/funded/ran team.
|
i really doubt they're going to continue, even if they say it's not indicative
|
That sucks. I was hoping he would stick around for another season or two with EG-TL. I hope this isn't foreshadowing Jaedong leaving EG.

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.

Sucks to see jobs go out. Too bad EG-TL did not work out. Anyway I see bright futures for CJ and Coach Park
|
Coach Park has turned his back on the EG-TL fans!! By god what a shocker!
Nah but this sucks to see and can only be bad news for EG-TL's future results.

Goodbye, EG-TL Sucks Balls Without Me :c

Probably CJ offered a huge contract that EG can't remotely match. It's highly possible, CJ is rich after all.

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.

Probably no EG-TL in the next pro league if I have to guess. gl coach park.

That always helps but I would think CJ would be more worth his time, at the end of the day, because of their attitude that winning pro league comes first. After that then you can go play western tournaments. EGTL is more of the foreign team that gets you to foreign tournaments.

This is some bullllllshit. I loved Coach Park on EG-TL.
The leave is understandable though.

I don't know about that, coach park was originally supposed to manage the LoL team on his previous team before EG, but then he got the opportunity to join EG and do the sc2 side which he chose. I am pretty sure he will be managing the sc2 or both idk.
