Daniel the director of eNature Top said in a latest interview with eforce magazine that he has plans to recruit up to 5 more players to invite to eNature Top team.
eNature Top never had the season of glory like other teams and often failed to qualify through the preliminary. eNature Top is currently negotiating a decent sponsorship with a named Korean hardware company which they wish to remain anonymous until the contract is actually signed.
"It is not yet determined and it is a conditional offer, they want us to recruit more talented players and they may offer a full sponsorship up to 1 year, providing separate facility, housing and the wages will be negotiated according to our performance"
Daniel is planning to organise an invitational online tourney and it's going to be both Koreans and fair amount of proven non-Koreans who after invitation to the tourney is sent out express the interest to join the team,
The top 3 of the tourney will be invited to join the team, and the rest 2 are subjected to the choice of Daniel and the sponsors.
"I hope we make this work, we have always been portrayed as a multi-cultural team and that image is the strength we have over other teams, the sponsors are hoping to use that advantage as a stepping stone to possible expansion to the foreign market. It's something that other teams cannot provide sponsors with."
The specific dates and the plans will be revealed officially once everything is decided and organised.

god, someone do the math... same shirts, same pants, same... i dunno... shoes maybe?

for me, the best april fools jokes are the unbelievable that you still wonder about and then BAM someone slaps you in the face and says it's april fools.
This was, imo, just quite cool news, nothing special, and then when some minutes are wasted reading the text you realise (by reading the replies ;p) that it's probably april fools and you remember what day it is, and it's boring T___T

Well an unbelievable story on April 1st... I'm sure many people will buy that right? Well I thought it would be funny but I somehow feel guilty for giving some people hopes up... Well I wish it was true myself... anyway.. there. I wasn't going to post this because I didn't think the answer was required looking at people's responses. But you never know.. Daniel used to say in interviews, 'There are many talented non-Korean players out there as you've seen at WCG, and we should give them a shot.'

FA was looking for his chance to shine in the korean scene

After reading it, it did seems believable. I thought it was funny that a company would want to sponsor possibly the worst team in progaming. It's like associating your product with a crap team thus saying your product is crap too.
|
Hence why I emphasized on the multi cultural part and the benefits company would get from it. More diverse teams generate more attention from the crowd than non-diverse teams. The popularity is not always relative to their skills, just look at Iloveoov and Julyzerg. On the other hand Peter rarely appeared on TV yet most Koreans recognize him and calls him Pisama or Ganjitoss just for the wink he's done once on TV. The gimmick and the image plays an important role as well even in progaming. People still remember Bertrand well.. partially because of his sunglasses.
