So I am not 100% sure if this has been posted before. but I came across an article that Fruitdealer is now coaching Startale's League of Legends team.

Here is the article.

http://www.gamechosun.co.kr/article/view.php?no=86934

I don't know Korean so I'm unable to translate, but judging from the picture, it is Fruitdealer and he seems to now be more involved in LoL then sc2, which could also be a reason for turning down the IEM spot he had.

Yeah. It says that he is now appointed as the head coach for StarTale's LoL team. It also says that he is quite good at it, so he won't have problems due to the lack of game knowledge.

He also has about 2 years left before he HAS to go to the military, so it sounds like he is going to stick with this for a while.

Was just about to make this thread. Very sad to see a former champ retire :[
I was hoping to see one more huge showing since his stellar IEM NY performance

From bw to sc2 to LoL. I can't think of an easier "esport" so this has to be it for him I guess -_-

Well, I guess that's the end of the line for FD as far as SC2 goes. I still remember his GSL 1 win . Good luck, FD!

It's a team sport? There is coordination? Plays?
I know what you're trying to say though lol.

Anyways, good luck to him, kind of sad seeing him leave sc2.

So much disrespect in this thread for one of the guys that helped launch SC2 to where it is today.

Goodluck to FD, hope he enjoys his new position!

Those who can't coach, coach league of legends.

In all seriousness though, Fruitdealer really antiquate enough at coaching? While it's certainly monumental that he was the first GSL champion, I think his inability to adapt and remain a top-tier player speaks some degrees about either his drive, or his ability to react to developments in any game (whether it be SC2 or LoL).

Sad to see him leaving SC2 but I have to say that it doesn't shock me what so ever. He won GSL 1 and...... well he won GSL 1, then got drunk, and that's it. This seems to be a big trend with players, considering YellOw is doing it and I believe another BW pro just became a LoL coach. Good luck to him in his future!
The only way to attack structure is with chaos.

How sad. Fruitdealer once had the SC2 community in the palm of his hands. With his sexy hair and manly voice he could have been as popular as MMA and Nestea combined. Too bad he cared more about snowboarding and getting drunk than practicing.

Oh yeah Yellow is a LoL coach too. Maybe they can do a showmatch one day just for the hell of it.
