SKT stands for SKTelecom, the name of the sponsor. 선경 Telecom, S K T. T1 Team One Team First whatever you wanna call it is the name of the team. Combined, we get SKT T1. SKT is fine, as is T1 (cf. "New England", "Patriots") but SKT1 is simply misconceived ("New Patriots" makes no sense either). Goddamnit.   | ||

I like you now. And if you ever write it as SKT1 or even as a wretched and disgusting all lower-case skt1, that's fine with me. As for the rest of you, I hope bad things happen to all of you and your loved ones. | ||

Everybody uses this kind of abbreviation in the English language. SKT1 FOR LIFE! It sounds so much better and natural. + Show Spoiler + In fact SKT and SKT T1 annoys me this is how its done http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q=SKT1&t=t&f=-1&u=highways&gb=date | ||

in that case, does a company that uses all caps in its logo, such as ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/Moelis_and_Company_logo.png){kind=logo} abbreviate to MOELISCOMPANY? and does a company that uses all lower case ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Hulu_logo.svg/200px-Hulu_logo.svg.png){kind=logo} abbreviate to.... well, nothing? clearly the only correct form of abbreviation that makes any damn sense is divorced from any notion of capitalization furthermore, as Team First does not represent all of SK Group, but rather the Telecom part, it is an important distinction to make. | ||

At all events I can't bring myself to write it "SKTT1", so it's always SKT or SK Telecom T1 for me. Does anybody actually call them T1? | ||

It's like how OnGameNet says Starleague is correct and OSL is incorrect, but people just say OSL because it's convenient and ppl know what it means | ||
