CJ Coach Steps Away

Posted by João "Saier" Madeira 1 year ago

Recently a bomb was dropped inside CJ Entus Headquarters and Korean Starcraft as one of the most experienced, well-known and charismatic head coaches resigned following the SPL elimination.

According to a press release, Coach Cho wants to rest and have some time for himself. Also in a interview made by FOMOS.kr, he doesn't look sad at all:

- “Is it because of CJ’s performance? Because you failed to reach the finals?"

- “No, it’s not about that. I had thought from before that this season would be my last. How’s that? Pretty good exclusive, eh? (laughs).”

In 2002, he started coaching at GameI Innotz but shortly after they lost their sponsorship and renamed themselves as Greatest One. SUMA GO, was bought back and lived for some time in the spotlight before went by the name GO again. But Cho maintained the team with his own money, as later XellOs' revealed in a documentary by selling his car. He managed to revive the team and sponsors came. He always had a great bond to his players and by their training conditions and feelings. Such legendary names' as Rookie (former MBC Game commentator, in the Army now), TheMarine, IntotheRain (MBC Game Commentator), Midas, fOru, Nal_Ra, GoRush, Much, Savior were coached by him.

Cho Kyo Nam will be replaced by interim-coach Kim Dong Wu, a retired Zerg player and coach for the team. Although a successor is yet to be pointed.

Coach Cho will be missed I also knew that he had a strong bond with the team and players and he had to make personal sacrifices for the team to survive . GL HF Cho !

ps #1 and #2 - pathetic - one of the biggest figures in Korean Starcraft is retiring and you discuss a bad mannered self-loving american b-teamer

Selling your own car to have a hope that sponsors will come and keep your team alive... This guy will be missed.

#8, if that became true then team CJ would become team Cheater Jolly .

#13, as coach, they train and advise the players. Not just about the game, but also mental health, figure out everyone's strong and weak points, decides the line up for proleague etc.
