As reported by Korean website Daily Esports: http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2013072210252702972
CJ announced that they hired Coach Park (former SK and EGTL coach) for their new coach.
-omitted-
The former CJ coachess, Kim Dong Woo and Park Si Hyun, and CJ both agreed not to to re-sign.
Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid have made an official statement: Source
Today, it is with great appreciation that Evil Geniuses & Team Liquid announce the departure of Head Coach Park from our StarCraft divisions’ Pro league team. Coach Park has been offered the recently-vacated Head Coaching role at CJ Entus, and both EG-TL and Coach Park agree that it is in his best interests to accept the position.
Both EG and TL have benefited enormously from Coach Park’s tenure. This is true not only in terms of wins and losses (a recent analysis posted on TL.net outlined in detailed fashion the improvement EG-TL saw under his leadership), but also in terms of player management philosophy and general mentality. Coach Park is absolutely incredible at what he does, and we both lucky to have worked with him for part of this year. We will certainly miss him, but we are also very happy for him and wish him nothing but the best.
He had this to say about his time with EG-TL: “I have been sincerely happy to be with EG-TL. I was able to learn much and there were things left to be desired during these days. If I am to get a chance like this again in the future, I would like to be someone who can live up to the many fans’ expectations. I will visit you again with a different look. Thank you very much for your attention and love.”
Coach Park’s departure is not indicative of EG-TL’s future in Pro League one way or the other. With our team’s participation in this season now being over, we’re currently weighing the plusses and minuses of being a part of the prestigious team league, and haven’t made any decisions on what the future will look like for us. For the time being, we will keep the same training facility setup (with Assistant Coach trOt continuing to live with the players full-time) as we decide what to do going into next season.
In conclusion, we would like to once again stress that we cannot emphasize enough how much we appreciate Coach Park as a person, and how much we enjoyed working with him. There is no doubt in our minds that he will bring great success to CJ Entus.
Sincerely,
Alexander Garfield (CEO, Evil Geniuses) & Victor Goossens (CEO, Team Liquid)

hahaha. Guess that's what happens when you perform like CJ did last season, whereas Coach Park jumped onto a sinking ship and made it sink less hard.
Edit: WHO'S GOING TO COACH EGTL?

Seems so. SPL was apparently very expensive to participate in so it wouldn't surprise me if EGTL is cutting their losses. The real question now is... Jaedong back to JinAir or no ? DD:

NOOO Coach Park :'((((
I wonder if EGTL will continue in Proleague and if so, who will be their coach?
If not, I wish they could have a great coach like Coach Park. I mean, their results as of late have been so good *O*

I would bet yes on no more EG-TL but no on Jaedong back to T8. He's THE face of EG Korea, but I have nothing else to support this suspicion besides his popularity. I have to figure his ROI is good.

Sad news for EGTL. Pretty much confirms no more proleague for EGTL. GL to Coach Park on CJ. Seemed like an awesome dude. It will be interesting to see how much he can improve CJ during the off season and going into the next.

EG-TL needs more korean practice partners tho
|
Well guess EG-TL is fucked

Hmmm.... The only answer I can come up with is that EG-TL decided not to participate in the next season of Proleague so Coach Park was up for hire.
|
Kind of a shame EG-TL didn't take something as prestigious as Pro League seriously. I wonder if an eSF team would. I have an inkling that they would put it at a much higher priority than EG-TL, and take it much more seriously. You can't half arse proleague and expect to do well.

This obviously means EG-TL is not going to do proleague next season, lame . I don't know that'll be weird not seeing jaedong in proleague T_T.

If there's no more EG-TL, will SPL be only 7 teams or will they try to lure some GSTL teams over? eSF-KeSPA trade lock ends in October.
