They only haven't really performed in the MCSL recently. They did well in IPTL, and ESEA with their "backup" roster. Individually JYP's performed well in GSL, Demuslim's been crushing in NASL, Idra's coming back to form with a great performance at BWC after a good show at MLG, Stephano is Stephano, Thorzain played well at Dreamhack only narrowly losing to Taeja... Only Puma and Huk are really having difficulty and both are still more than capable of taking games as we can see in NASL. Even LzGamer and Incontrol were just a few games away from getting into groups at MLG, LzGamer lost to Rain and I think InControl lost to Binski, not sure. Their roster is far from being weak. With all of them, plus maybe Byul, training together in Korea there's a lot that could happen.
Reading this post, Machine shed a single tear. :-(

Acer could do it as well. I would love for 4 more teams to join.

SPL without eSF teams?
that would be such a stupid move.
I hope it isn't so, because that will only fracture the fan base.

I think there will be a 'join together or die alone' situation coming in the forseeable future.

That rumour doesn't have any like sources. Also is it really 100k to join proleague? wtf I don't see a foreign team doing that if they have to pay that much just to enter a league... I doubt it's that high that would be rediculous as the prize for winning isn't 100k is it?

Well, MBC and OGN already did a similar thing way back.
I'm optimistic.

Maybe by the time we hit HotS ESF and Kespa will just come together.
I think they'd see their major issue being who gets the views for the premier team league unless they figured out how to run two simultaneously. Proleague definitely already has the cred in the long run, but GSTL I imagine is still a notable event for gom.
I don't think it's the teams, but their respective loyalty to a team league. I wonder what a solution would be?

They split commercial revenues from the league just like other professional sports, except they don't have tickets sales.
I don't think prize money is the income for teams.

Yeah that makes since, but 100k to join? Just dunno I don't see EG or any foreign team doing that xD. Maybe they will give them a less pricy one. I am very curious what is going to happen though and we should be finding out soon since proleague starts again december 8'th :D
|
Perhaps it's Hexatron? We'll have to wait until someone confirms that it's not Hexatron, of course.
Although it definitely sucks that we never got to see ACE in the playoffs.
|
Somehow I expect that EG could get the entry money from there sponsors if thats what they knew it was being used for. How could there sponsors turn down an opportunity like that?
|
"Liquid Geniuses" / "Evil Liquid" would make a lot more sense roster-wise. But I guess it will never happen because of conflicting sponsors.
|
It's EG. Worst kept secret ever.
Sources - Incontrol blog hints about something big and EG picking up Byul.
I'd be quite surprised if it weren't them. FXO Korea doesn't count as foreign right, so they'd have to be talking about FXO Europe.

Because they're ceasing to exist when the last player leaves the Air Force sometime in 2014. They aren't accepting any new people, so by the end of the Proleague season, they probably wouldn't even have a full enough roster to play.

Now im convinced it is EG. Will be fun to watch them get rolled
