17.03.12

Yesterday, Lazy suddenly announced via his cyworld that he's quitting progaming.

Update 14.03.12

Near the end of February, (P)Lazy became a Team 8 online practice partner.



Update 16.02.12

Check has joined Team 8. This kid just will NOT give up! Fighting!

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=312487


Update 28.01.12

I have some terrible news. STX have released all the rookie progamers they recruited in 2011, this includes Check, (P)Lazy and a former Wemade Fox player as well. 1 player has retired and the other 5 have been put on waivers. I'm not sure what a "waiver" means but apparently most of these players already moved out of the STX dorms some weeks ago. This is sad news, especially for the rookies who joined from disbanded teams.

http://fomos.kr/board/board.php?mode=read&keyno=122668&db=issue


Update 28.11.11

An MBC fan went to watch Light's match yesterday and she saw Check together with the rest of the STX players after the STX-CJ match. She said he looks well, he dyed his hair brown and that his face looks slimmer. Hopefully he'll make it onto STX's roster soon. Apparently she also heard that (P)Lazy has become an online practice partner with STX.

Picture of Check in STX's waiting room:

-----------------------------------------------------

Update 20.11.11

I forgot, Mangnani was on Kespa's retirement list for November, so that's someone else in the picture next to Jaehoon.

------------------------------------------------------

According to Fomos, former MBC rookie, Check (Kim Min Gyu), has joined STX Soul. This must have been quite recent because he wasn't at the STX workshop last week.

Check took part in the Team 8 vs STX football (soccer) friendly earlier today, which ended in a 5-2 victory for Team 8. I also spotted someone who looks like Mangnani (another former MBC rookie) in the group photo from the football match. Unfortunately I can't post all the pictures here because Fomos does not allow re-posting of their content. So I'm just going to provide links to some of my favourite pictures from the Fomos album. You can see see the rest of them at the Fomos website. If DES releases some pictures from the football match, I'll post them here as well.

Selection of pictures:

Jaedong munching on snacks before the match

Jaedong and Baby

Pre-match handshakes

Shuttle

Jaehoon and Jaedong stretching

Tyson laughing

Jaehoon laughing

Jaedong takes a strike on goal

Speed and Sang

Yeom Messi

Jaehoon at half-time

Jaehoon and Jaedong

Jaedong

Calm and Jaehoon chatting

Check

Killer hugs Jaehoon after scoring a goal

Coach Han dribbling

Yeom Messi's celebration

Group picture: Jaehoon (in blue) with his arms around Check and Mangnani (?)


Just to sum up, so far we know that Sea, Jaehoon, Tyson and Sang are in Team 8 and Check (possibly Mangnani too) has joined STX. Zerg[kal] has decided to enlist in the military. The whereabouts of the other former MBCGame HERO players are still unknown but I will continue to look into this.

I want to also thank trexbqs for alerting me about these pictures!

Glad that another MBC player found a new home. I hope Hyun can do that too and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Not sure why he was removed from the MBC roster in TLPD, even though the rest of the players are still in there.

Edit:
Mangnani has retired, according to the Kespa retirement list for November, so that's someone else.

His favourite player is Torres so he supports any team Torres is on. Arsenal jacket could be his teammate's because I saw Pusan wearing it once.

Agreed, the more players who find themselves a team, the better. If only they could all find a home.

Ryo for quality poster star. Seriously, these are much appreciated.

I always love seeing Jaedong, among all other players, happy. It's nice to know he's not always super serious :3. Also, Calm with another maniacal smiled. When you said football I thought you meant American football and not "soccer". I was kind of scared at first that would be hurt eachother :o

I might do an entire post about Team 8 player anecdotes. That could be interesting.

^ Hmm I think it will be something like tidbits about their friendships with their teammates? I think that's a possible theme.
