Even the idea of an All star team is not realistic. You would need a coach to help players prepare etc. Actually I would rather enjoy more a second star league, if Kespa is really wanting to invest into starcraft, and several stand alone tournaments like Kespa cup, or maybe an offseason tournament with a foreign team invited | ||

Opening up to foreign teams doesn't seem a good idea due to the time of how long pro league is and how it does "effect" foreign tournaments. There is too much money involved for foreigners to play outside of Pro League. We had the same issue when EG TL joined up for SPL, they should never of finished as badly as they did but they were always travelling around to tournaments and didn't have the best players always there training hard with the coach. Unless a foreign team takes it seriously and takes 6 months out of there year to do it full 100% then i can't see it being a success. | ||

It didn't work when SC2 was much more popular in the foreign scene. I don't see how it will work now. | ||

I do think inviting foreign teams is a good idea on paper. An All-Star team with e.g. JD, Taeja, MMA, Innovation, and MC would be thrilling. But it has to be made sure that that team has the same conditions as the established PL teams. They would need at least three things: - Preparation (some months I guess) - A capable coach. - An own house (sitting with a rival team in one house is pointless imo) Those aspects point to other requirements, like money. A coach has to be hired, a house has to be rent, players will have to miss (or even forfeit) a number of tournaments for the preparation. So I think it would be thrilling, but hard to accomplish. | ||

First of, I think at least Acer and Liquid are on a level with last seasons Prime and could most likely challenge teams like MVP or STIM . And then you can always apply the argument that less teams is more quality. Still, I like my Bundesliga with noobteams such as Freiburg. Well i like the skill argument because a 2hour SPL with 2 No match isn't fun to watch. What's fun is tension, rivalties and good play. (for me of course). I believe TerrorPRIME could get some wins if ACER/Liquid was there. You can't challenge MVP anymore with their new recruits. STIM is... well it's ST+1 now. Startale will have their entire roster now too. And if Legend can pick Super, i doubt that even him who is not a regular player can destroy lesser teams. But maybe i'm wrong, maybe the foreign team will succeed to focus on korea. But i don't feel that's possible. Too many foreigner missing their home, having to get a new life. Some could do well and adapt. But all of them ? Not sure. The Koreans of the team could be like a fish in water though. About not watching low level of play, that's why i don't watch WCS  . I know "low level" is harsh since those guys could beat me blindfolded. But you know what i mean  | ||

 TL, Axiom, Acer and YFW. These teams would be awesome to see in proleague in some form. Guys chill down a bit, the original Kespa post said this: On August 19 2014 17:17 Chuddinater wrote: We are toying with the idea of opening Proleague to the world. If we did open up Proleague next year to all teams which teams would you be most excited to watch? Do you think if we allowed foreign teams to enter would it lower the competitive level or increase it? They are not asking if you guys think it is financially possible for these teams to compete. They think it likely kespa can get them to compete, otherwise they would not mention this. You people probably don't know better than kespa the likelyhood of these teams playing in PL(unless you are TB). I don't understand this stubborn foolishness of saying "EG-TL, lol don't do it"..... Well Prime did way worse than EG-TL did, maybe koreans teams shouldn't be allowed because "obvisouly they suck because one korean team once failed". Stop this stupid idea that just because something failed once its impossible or pointless, if people like you guys ran the world nothing would ever be invented or improved because you would bloody well give up straight away. Focus on the actual question being asked do we want PL open for foreign teams, if they fail hard they probably won't stay in it for the long haul anyway and if they are serious about putting in effort for PL I'm sure they could show results! Foreign teams in PL would be awesome and I do not think it would lower the level of competiveness at all even though some teams might be weaker than others(which are already true today with korean teams). | ||

If there is any addition to Proleague, I wish it would be a team who at least is able to put up a little fight. :-/ I think an Acer-lineup of INnoVation-MMA-Scarlett-Nerchio-Bly and a Liquid-lineup of Taeja-HerO-Snute-Bunny-TLO can take on something Startale like Life-Curious-Hack-Panic-Pet and whatever Prime and MVP may come up with for next season, not to mention whatever happens with IM. | ||

+ If Proleague is going to return to 10-12 teams, it's going to be glorious by its own. Also HerO is going to play with MVP, so it's not likely that TL will join. But INnoVation and Jaedong have to play where they belong to. | ||

Problem is I dont see them staying in Korea in a team house and playing their hearts out for pro league. Skill wise I dont think they would do bad at all, I just dont see it happend. | ||
