Glad to see them still around. I wonder who else is even on their team though... the only other ST player I remember is JulyZerg, and we haven't seen much of him in a long time (retired?) Edit: Ok, looks like they have a few other Code S level players (Alive, Curious, Panic?)... and JulyZerg went to the military. Only Life is a code S level player. I have hopes for Alive and Hack for proleague. Alive can become a stable well preforming player and Hack can fill an excellent sniper role. Curious am I unsure of, but I want to believe. Panic/Pet/Stun are really just rosterfillers which I doubt will bring much value. But all in all I think they need one or two new Code S players for decent proleague preformance. TL;DR: I want to believe! | ||

Since Startale joins PL in association with Yoe Flash Wolves, you have to add PartinG, San and Leenock to their roster, which makes up for a (very) strong team (kinda like last year's CJ imo) | ||

So almost the same as EU/AM? Just that it's more weekend events than leagues. But I think that it evens out "content" wise. The Korean and EU/AM scene are two different beasts and I'm happy to see Blizzard trying to treat them differently. As always, there are enough negative attitute and sceptics regarding Blizzard, so I'll be positive! | ||

Well it has been announced some time ago already, but yes since YFW and Startale partner up, and PartinG now plays for YFW, PartinG is basically fighting for StarTale again | ||

Cool. I didn't think about the implications when I first read that post! | ||

Aren't foreign Tournaments usually on weekends and in that case don't they need time to travel back to Korea? IMO Tuesday/Wednesday would be better. | ||

There will also be at least one hot6 cup right? And possibly even more tournaments. | ||

I hope the KeSPA Cup and hot6ix cup are shorter events while SpoTV and GSL are longer. I'm afraid of tournament fatigue for both players and viewers, so hopefully they can schedule everything decently. 3 long term leagues plus Proleague is a bit much imo. Two long term leagues, a Proleague, and more shorter tournaments sounds a bit more manageable. | ||

They are afterall planning to make it easier for Koreans to play in foreignt tournaments, so the cups shouldn't be too long. The dual leagues and proleague will already take enough time. Next year should be awesome . | ||
