Thank you very much for the update. Pretty cool that Snute will still practice in the CJ house.

Too bad, I really hoped EG and TL would lead the way for the western teams, establishing a team house with a dedicated coach and such. Oh well, it's too late to close the skill gap anyways.

When did I last hear good news for sc2.
Jesus christ, like domino bricks

Sad news but not surprising at all. Honestly, it is to be expected.
Anyway, I wish everyone a good transition out of the house.

this week.... oh my... what a sad

Oh man, that sounds awesome for Snute. Speaking of Zenio: how is he doing nowadays? No tweeting, no streaming, no forum posts, no nothing as far as I can tell. I miss him.  According to Aligulac he still has played some matches lately, though. Can't say he is in a good spot. A while ago (after Dreamhack Stockholm) he was just so sad about losing he asked if it was OK not to use Twitter/Stream anymore until he did better. I agreed and that is why you see no activity from him in social media. It is tough to stay motivated at the moment when you're not in WCS, you at least used to be able to go to some IEM events in Asia but those have qualifiers too now.

Jesus this fact get's more annoying every time I fucking see it.
SC2 is Free to Play in PC rooms. That's the full version of HOTS, which includes ranked and unranked play with all the bells and whistles. LOL is Free to Play everywhere, but in PC rooms you have all skins and all heros unlocked at the same time, whereas at home you don't.
Please, there is no paywall for SC2, there hasn't been for pc bangs ever

So is HerO going to be some sort of joker for another team, or does that mean HerO is going to change teams??

Anyone know how practice and living environments will be for the EG koreans now? Watching Jaedong claw his way into the top in SC2 has been awesome, if the rug would just be pulled out from under him I may have to commit seppuku.

No worries he's not changing teams, we just don't know how his living situation will look like, which may or may not have an effect on Proleague.

I'm so sick of everyone constantly talking about any bad news as if it's the end of sc2 as an eSport....
In 2010, 2011 and 2012 there was just as frequently bad news such as these, also in the phases where sc2 had the largest amount of growth. Things change all the time, it's not always for the worse, this could be a good thing. Just TL relocated their HQ as well, which gives new possbilities, they might just have changed their focus

I THINK NOT HAVING LAN IS THE THING HERE. BLIZZARD SHOULD HAVE LAN! I MEAN, THAT IS HOW COMMUTIES WERE FORMED
User was warned for this post

@Nazgul, I don't understand this is just the house in Korea? Or is it all the team houses are going to get disbanded like where demuslim is at?

The news only concerns EGTL's (or EG's) house in Korea, I think Demuslim is staying at the EG lair in the US which is completely unaffected by these news.

Rest in peace, EGTL house.
We're watching the slow, agonizing death of Starcraft as an e-sport.

All hail Riot, our new eSports overlords. Doin everything right where Blizzard are doing everything wrong. Until they abandon the game and move on and there are no other events out there because Riot runs them all.
Lol, inform yourself before saying stuff like that, Riot only runs NA tournaments, OGN does Korea, ESL does Europe, and there are organizations doing china/SEA etc.

I guess we can do a little bit of theorycraft. I will go with an optimistic one: EG does a partenership with Woogjin Stars and they participate in SPL together (not impossible I guess, they wouldn't need the EG Lab then since they could use the Woogjin house).

Oh look, another thread that got turned into a sc2 is dying one. Be honest here people. EGTL in PL was a complete and utter joke, purely intended as publicity stunt. They never took it serious until was too late.
