With Proleague still on hiatus, CJ Entus is holding a few more special showmatches for the fans. After sweeping the Japanese in their last exhibition, this time CJ Entus takes on more formidable competition in the Jin Air Green Wings (formerly KeSPA 8th Team) and SK Telecom T1. In addition, CJ Entus will be using this exhibition to test out some innovative new formats for team competition.
Info: Basic info on the games.
- CJ Entus vs. Jin Air Green Wings: Thursday, Oct 24 9:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
- CJ Entus vs. SK Telecom T1: Friday, Oct 25 10:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
- Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/cjentusteam
- Casting: Mostly Korean, but Snute may drop in to try and cast some games.
Format: This is where it gets a little experimental and funky
- Maps 1~2: Similar to standard Proleague style. Each team picks a player before hand, and they reveal who will be playing a day before the match.
- Maps 3~4: Pick/Ban. An interesting take on the pick/ban of Moba games. For map three, each side suggests three players, and the other team BANS two of those players. For map four, each side suggests three players, and the other team PICKS one of those players.
- Maps 5~6: Similar to Ace Match: Each team picks a player on the spot, who is revealed on the spot.
- Other notes: Each team must reveal their six man roster two days before the game. Maps one and two are played simultaneously, but only one is streamed live. The other match is then streamed via increased-speed replay.
The announced rosters for CJ vs. JinAir are
CJ Entus:  Bbyong, Bunny,  herO[jOin], Sora,  EffOrt, Hydra
JinAir Green Wings: Cure, Pigbaby, Terminator, TRUE, Savage, CoCa

Out of the KesPA teams I feel like CJ is the team that is currently all over the place, always news everywhere and the players do well.
I'll be cheering for CJ! Go EffOrt

Well considering how much the company actually does? It should come as no surprise. I'm glad to see this initiative from one of the KeSPA teams because these teams need more exposure and who knows. Maybe Coach Park learned a thing or two from EG when it comes to generating content. CJ Media Group hwaiting.

Rooting for Jin Air, still hoping that Jaedong will return there seeing as he's technically on loan to EG (but that seems unlikely now).
I did something really stupid and got the date wrong in the reddit thread (I wasn't thinking straight from all the excitement) so I'm afraid to show my face there in fear of being lynched.

Nice This sounds good, I missed Proleague I hope they get an english stream for this. Also an alternative to twitchstream is always great to hear, I hope other organzisers start to use alternative streaming platforms in the future.

Man, between all the content they're putting out (lmao @ that dance video), Coach Park, Snute going over to practice there and now this, CJ really has been winning me over lately *-* More korean teams need to be like this!
