I'm in the other boat.
I don't watch Proleague because:
1. I didn't like the casters in the broadcasts I watched.
2. I did not like a lot of the maps in the Proleague map pool
3. I'm not familiar with the Kespa teams and players. I'm more familiar with the GSTL teams and players, and I like Wolf and Khaldor.

Innovation is the GSTL format is seriously overpower lol. A little sad to see him leave Kespa Pro League too soon.

Well, Lee Shin Hyung if my memory serves me right have been Proleague regular for a while. Oh, 4-3 in 08-09 Proleague season. 4 years is pretty darn long ;o
Granted, as INnoVation he surely only played 8 months in SPL :D

i agree with most of that, and i didn't watch a lot of pro league either, mainly because of the bad casters.
Did watch some though.
Would still rather see them combined then separate though. Start to bring the scene together as a whole.

I'm just sad for STX Soul. For the first time in their history they had a major break through success, and suddenly their best player is "snatched away" from them.

3rd This one is right up there in importance with practice partners and its ladder practice. Now sources conflict on whether or not Innovation practices more with partners or on the ladder, however in case he practices on ladder then moving him from Korea to EU is a tremendous mistake, his skills would potentially drop drastically since neither the EU or NA ladder really compare to the KR ladder in terms of quality practice.
There has been no announcement to say that Inno will move to EU. I don't think he even can change regions now until the end of the season, and as long as he's qualifying for global finals through WCS korea there's zero incentive to switch regions for him.

How exactly are we defining "foreign team". Does the owner just have to be non-korean? If that's all that's needed...FXO makes a pretty strong case for "best foreign team".

EGTL was only a thing during proleague tough, counting them as a team somewhere else is silly.

Nah, it suffices if the majority of its good players reside outside of Korea, imo. And currently all of Acer is living in Germany if I recall correctly.

In GSL player introduction Innovation and Dear didn't wear STX uniform.
I guess the next player who going to find a new team will be Dear.

throwback to the days when everybody thought EGTL would be the best team in pro league

Dear was in STX uniform, but Hyvaa was in black t-shirt.

All of acer? Really? Is this a temporary thing? How will they participate in the GSTL?
Though regardless, "majority of its good players reside outside of Korea" probably disqualifies EG as a foreign team, and probably disqualifies Liquid as well.

I'm still under the belief that Innovation will fall into a massive slump and he will only retain mid level success.

You guys realize there is a mute button and maybe now is a good time to start learning some Korean if you truly love gaming because it's one of the official languages.

That's assuming he watches the ATC. I know I certainly don't. There is way too much stuff to watch and if every sponsor/team decided to hold their own League with their own format, well shit. We're the helium being fed into the balloon. There's only so much space to expand to.

You know, I have been learning some Korean, due to an interest in K-pop, and it helps that a friend I visit fairly often speaks korean with his parents. But there's a league of difference between listening to a K-pop song and hearing 사랑해 and 예쁘다 and thinking "lol, well I've got the gist of this K-pop song now" and listening to and understanding proleague casters.
Have you successfully gone from not knowing any korean all the way to understanding proleague casters? If so, got any tips?
