No official news, but seeing as these two have pretty big fan bases, Coca has been seen on Taeja's stream playing, and Puzzle has also been said to be playing SC2 again. They both retired from SC2 months ago, trying to move to LoL, but there were no news of them since then.

It'd be great to have them back. I don't think any of the current SC2 players who switched over to League of Legends have gone "pro" and played in the OSL Champions.

really dont care, the fact that they wanted to switch shows the interest will only be temporary. They will leave again,maybe for world of tanks next time.

Coca was one of my favorite zergs. I'd be really happy to see him back.

I hope they come back. CoCaPrime and PuzzlePrime have a nice ring

Probably a lack of competitiveness or interest in LoL. The two had no results in Korea, or even made it to a professional team, so it was inevitable they would pick up HotS when everyone else is adapting. I never thought CoCa and Puzzle had an issue with the game itself, it was the drama and stress behind SlayerS that really put them off the scene, but with SlayerS dead, a chance at a fresh start and a community with open arms, why wouldn't they return?

Yup, he was fantastic until that awful awful awful awful awful awful decision by SlayerS/GSL to kick him out of Code S. Would love to have him back

They trully didn't switch professionaly to LoL.
It's more like they stopped SC2 and then played LoL casually..

It'll be interesting to see if they can come back after 6 months of not playing the game.

slayers 100% ruined arguably the top zerg at the time. Atleast top zvp iirc.

For the inevitable "which teams will pick them up" discussion, I suspect Axiom, StarTale, AZUBU or IM might be interested in acquiring these two. Axiom has the SlayerS connection without the issues of management, ST is smarting after losing two key players, AZUBU is probably looking to expand further, and IM might want to rejuvenate their roster. I can see Quantic signing these two if they have the pockets for it because it will expand their presence in Korea with two players who showed their potential.

Coca getting banned from that season of Code S probably won jjakji a championship. Still funny.

It probably saved us from a typically terrible GLS finals and gave us an epic one. :D

It is "incredibly" hard to be a LoL pro since you are not alone. You need so much team synergy and that takes a long time to build up. You can't just walk into an event like with sc2 and show results you need to do a very long process and assemble a team etc etc...Just to break out as a LoL pro.

team games are hard ><

Both were good, great at times, Coca was "great" probably longer than Puzzle but i swear sometimes watching Puzzle play was amazing, i thought he'd replace MC
