Isnt it clear enough? , Coach Park leaves EGTL. EG organize an American TeamLeague. EG says Proleague has been very expensive. most EG players participate in WCS America.

It all makes sense which is unfortunate.

Seems so. SPL was apparently very expensive to participate in so it wouldn't surprise me if EGTL is cutting their losses. The real question now is... Jaedong back to JinAir or no ? DD:

I believe when EG first signed JD there was something in the agreement stating that Team 8 would have to find an official sponsor if JD were to go back after the year. And they have that now.

And just as I thought it would be cool to see how EG-TL does in the next season, now that they've been doing well under coach Park. Kinda sad, and if they'd end up doing poorly I would rather see a replacement team. At least the Koreans have more excuse to change teams now.

Only reason why I watch proleague is EG-TL. Sad..... even if they stay in it, I don't think anyone can replace coach Park

Was really looking forward to see how they would do with him coaching a full season.

good stuff park the eg-tl team was way too gone for even you to help them. CJ lineup + park might be able to compete with the WJ lineup + coaching staff, but i sorta doubt it ; )

that sucks for EGTL but I hope they gained valuable experience. The players all seemed to improve a ton under him.

Also really hope that EGTL stay in Proleague or at least keep up the training environment. It's been doing a ton for their players.

huge loss for EG-TL, they know they can't compete with trOt as headcoach (no offense meant), so it's either they find another big gun or they withdraw... I tend to lean towards the second option but it would mean no more JD right?

Kind of makes sense, there isn't as much need to commit to PL when you have WCS and players in nearly all the regions competing and advertising sponsors. If your bases are covered why do more?

This is so god damn huge. Coach Park was such an asset for EG-TL, if they don't get a proper coach soon then they probably shouldn't participate in pro league.

By the way "in b4" JD also leaves EG to re-join T8 or something. q_q poor EG.

Well guess EGTL don't think this Pro League adventure is going to last to much longer? Or not for the foreseeable future? I can't see why else they would let a really good coach leave them for any other reason.

EG-TL not being in Pro League any longer would be kind of sad. I think they did a great job getting lots of new fans to watch (and love) PL!!
On the other hand, trying to compete in there requires a much bigger focus on having a capable group of players in Korea at all times with no other competition being more important. That would mean much less exposure in foreign tournaments. I don't see that happen...
