I guess this means that there'll be a next season of proleague for sure.
When this season started and I heard the sponsor was SKT, I really thought that was one big charity gift by SKT and it could be the last proleague.
Happy to be wrong, cause I think proleague is the best sc2 content out there by faaaar. (I'd rate GSL higher, but these days I feel there's so few GSL matches to watch. They are few and far between.)

Nice pick up for CJ! They're looking even better than before

This year's proleague also saw them charging a subscription fee to get source/high quality? Also there seems to be more ads from mainstream brands and products. Seems like they are really trying to find sustainable ways to keep Proleague around other than just being sponsored by big companies. I think playing in the Nexon Arena really helps bring back some legitimacy to the scene compared to Sindorim before this.
Damn Byul was mine and many peoples prime pick for round 4 in fantasy. He tore it up in round 3. Great news for him to be going to a more stable team. He deserves the recognition. Hope for an even better season for him next season! Gogo Byul and CJ Entus!

This is unless, of course, he steps up in skill following the trade, so...ByuL fighting!
assuming skill level stays roughly where it is now, byul will likely play every match.

Very happy to hear about this. ByuL was IM's best player for pretty much all of 2014 and most of 2013. Glad to be seeing more of him.
Great pickup for CJ too! No offense to Hydra or EffOrt but ByuL is automatically their best Zerg and third-best player behind herO and Bbyong.
And it was confirmed weeks ago on this forum by SPL people that there will be another Proleague, so that's no surprise.
P.S. Hopefully this puts to rest the silly "Dear signed with Samsung but they're not allowed to announce it yet" stuff. Obviously there' no restriction on announcing player pickups.

Grats CJ, hope to see Trap get in a strong team too.

YEAHHHH good job Byul :') I'm so proud and relieved :D
Sleek uniform!

Well, this makes CJ quite a bit stronger. Great pickup for them, but that goes without saying.

It was confirmed in round 2 or early round 3 that KeSPA, SpoTV and partners were very happy with ProLeague this year and were looking forward to next years.
Proleague, in my opinion, is more fun to watch than GSL. I only keep up with GSL and watch the semis/finals, other than that, unless our lord and savior Lee Young-Ho, is playing, I dont watch.
Proleague is much better for teams, sponsors, and corporations in Korea, too.

No doubt effort is a good player, but he isn't up to par with his other match ups, he's a BEAST in ZvT though.

CJ needed more depth so they could continue to miss the finals in BW tradition.

Actually if you look at his Aligulac match records, the matchup EffOrt's a beast in is ZvZ. His ZvZ win rates are far, far above his other matchups. His ZvT against Koreans in offline matches is only barely above 50% (though he has done very well in that matchup recently).

Big boost to CJ, good on ByuL for this.
