He was hired to replace coaches (Z)ComBi and Na Jae-woong, who both left after the end of last season.

He was hired to help players prepare for their SC2 matches.

Previously the Terran coach on Slayers, he is most known for helping (T)MMA win his first GSL title at Blizzcon against (T)MVP.

Oh god. Here comes the Jessica twitter fiasco.

Hes always seemed like a good coach. Could make or break Woojin I think.

Seriously smart pick up, he's a very good coach and deserves a lot of credit for SlayerS Terran succeses. Particularly good at gameplanning for certain opponents.

I suppose it was inevitable Brood War teams would buy what coaches with SC2 experience they could
“It's like poker. You can play your best, but you've got to know when to fold your cards and take a rest, and know when to hold your cards, hold your breath and hope that nobody else is stacking the deck."

I remember this guy busting into MMA's booth when he won at blizzcon, must have helped him prepare so much. will surely be a great asset to stars.

TheWind might get picked in that case

Wow, did not see this coming actually. Ryu is the best coach in SC2 (although there isn't many coaches) and he helped out SlayerS big time no doubt.

Pretty sneaky tho to get the best coach in sc2 when there is a deal to not make any sc2 player transfers. ^^

IMO Coach Lee (formerly of MBC Game Hero) is the best sc2 coach, even though his reputation is quite bad, the ammount of talent that has emerged from his team in INSANE. I mean like aLive (Fnatic), Rain (Fnatic), Puma (EG), JYP (EG), Heart (Complexity), and now with their new lineup their pretty much starting to look a bit like a mini-Woongjin a bit (considering how good SymboL/Shine/HyuN have been playing lately).

I'm also pretty impressed with Coach Kim from startale, I believe he was appointed as Coach this year and ever since then ST has had most players in Code S + The GSTL finals.

This seems to explain the Boxer Coach shift a few weeks back which was to prepare for this and help ease the transition of coaches. Cella's still around and BoxeR is obviously a good coach (I would believe), but yeah Ryu pick up for Woongjin is huge. In regards to the no SC2 player transfer thing, I believe Slayers has never actively participated in those agreements. Like they're still out of the new SC2 association thing no? So I guess it's a whole new case with SlayerS.

But with Boxer's roots, I thought Ryu would get picked up by SKT. But they have Coach Park so.
Need to write more things...

Ah I didn't mean to compare him to Coach Lee and Startale coach. I ment more like... game/race coach(?). Hmm don't know how to explain it. But Coach Lee and Startale coach are more like managers too since they own their teams and do all the management stuff like the part Jessica does for SlayerS while Coach Ryu only focused on the gameplay and was a pure coach. You don't have guys like than in the SC2 teams. The only ones I know was Coach Ryu and Cella in SlayerS.

EDIT: I guess Head Coach is the term I mean?

Woongjin is continuously on the rise in recent seasons and now means serious business this season. Expecting top SC2 performances (now with the help of Ryu too) and top BW performances. Nothing can stop us this time!
