ImageThe two coaches for the eStars Continental Cup have been revealed, with manager Kim Yang Jung from WeMadeFoX and Sam Mathews from Fnatic given the roles.



Once again a former Starcraft professional is chosen as the Team East coach, last year eStars chose Kim "Garimto" Dong-Soo a former member of KFT MagicNs, whereas this year the WeMadeFox manager Kim Yang Jung is the chosen one. Kim Yang Jung was also the founder of iS, one of the first professional gaming teams in Starcraft that included players like Yo Hwan 'BoxeR' Lim and Jin Ho 'YellOw' Hong.

Last year Jørgen "XeqtR" Johannessen the former CS legend was picked to coach Team West, whereas this year we have a Brit, as CEO and founder of fnatic Sam "zr0" Mathews is given the nod.

The role of the two individuals will be to manage and motivate the Warcraft3 and Counter-Strike teams. EStars 2009 Continental Cup will take place between the 24th-26th July in Seoul, Korea.
