That's right! I, Kiett, have just joined Samsung Khan. After the team's tragic and narrow defeat at the hands of CJ Entus, Coach January decided to troll more recruit someone more reliable than Brave to seal the win in the 5th set. Don't worry, Khan fans. I assure you, I've only played like, 4 games of BW before I will use my mad skills to secure us victory in this season's PL. Fighting!
Juuuuust kidding. I bought Stork's leather jacket from the charity auction event at WCG this weekend. I actually really wanted Bisu's signed shirt at first, but man... Bisu's just too fucking popular. The bid shot up to $150 before I even had a chance. Whyyyyy T__T
But it's okay, because this jacket is lovely, and I got to hug Stork ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 100% worth it.
Now the question remains...
For the upcoming Khan vs. SKT match this weekend... what do I do? Do I go as a Khan fan in my spiffy new jacket, or do I go as my usual self, a rabid Bisu & SKT fangirl?

Bisu's shirt went for 220 000 won. It was quite funny, seeing as some of the other signed shirts (I forget who, I remember Leta was one of them) went for only 20 000 xD
Also you should post more of your photos, I know you took a lot. Don't hog them
I love Stork too, but if I see you with the Khan jacket at the SKT vs Khan match this Saturday, hand in your T1 badge
Just go in the jacket, it looks really good. It's not like you can't support both anyway, it's just that...you'll make Bisu sad, and do you really want to make Bisu sad. (Who will you cheer for when it's Stork vs Bisu?)
Honest question here, what do the Koreans think of people wearing merchandise? I mean over the stream, whenever there's a shot of the audience, I have never seen anyone wearing team merchandise, why is that?
It's true guys, we saw her play, and she has higher APM than Hydramultitasks better than Flashactually fits the jacket has better gg timing than Fantasy.

- Signed shirts (the 09 red and white SKT uniforms) from Bisu, Best, and Fantasy - Signed shirts (black CJ ones) from Horang2, Leta, Hydra, and Effort - 1 large t-shirt signed by every member of KT Rolster + Flash's keyboard
The KT set sold for pretty high, like 250k? But everyone else's shirts that weren't Bisu's sold for pretty low, like 20-40k. It's a pity, since I know you guys would totally pay 30 bucks for a shirt signed by Fantasy or Effort. They should hold an online auction for foreigners, lol.
Part of the problem was that those shirts' auctions were during the SC2 semifinals, so everyone was off watching at the main stage. Then RIGHT when Bisu's shirt came up, the SC2 game ended, and people started flooding in to bid on it T__T Other problem was that they only took cash, so I guess people didn't want to use their cash up on other items and then not have enough for the bigger stuff. Otherwise I'd have bought Best's shirt too.

Ugh, I never know who to cheer for when they play each other. For the sake of watching an epic game, I'd want them to play each other, but for the sake of my FPL team (and my heart ;_;), I'd rather they didn't. I tend to cheer for whoever's losing though (which oddly enough, is usually Bisu).
Sorry, I don't really know the answer to that question. But I mean, aside from these small special events, where would you even get team merchandise? They don't really sell them to the public to begin with. I saw a Korean guy wearing an orange T1 uniform shirt at the PL finals, but that's about it. Fans tend to sport their own fanmade gear (support scarfs, bandannas, etc.) from what I see.

Oh God Oh God OMFG!!!!!!!! Now I'm jealous and sad...
You look rather spiffy in that jacket. (And like others have said, you do look quite a bit like Stork in the first pic...)
If they held that charity auction online...they'd earn so much more money. I'd definitely pay more than 20 bucks for something signed by Fantasy...especially since it's not the orange uniforms? I doubt I'd even win the auction if it was online, though.
Root for Khan instead, more than half of TL is on the SKT bandwagon anyway SKT has enough support already, and Khan looks very good this season. Also, YOU HAVE THE JACKET OF STORKUUUUU, why would you root for someone who needs to practice hard all day over someone who can beat anyone while playing WoW/mobile phone games/etc.?
I said in the previous blog that you were my dream come true (Stork drawing thingy).
NOW U STARTIN' TO STEAL MA DREAMZ GURL
=P
Grats on winning the auction. Oh, and also, yeah wear both Khan and SKT stuff to PL. Once you grab the cameraman's attention, show your dual support and I'm quite sure the commentators will catch it for a good chuckle. Even if you miss the first round, you can switch your shirt/whatever for when Stork or Bisu plays, and the commentators will take note of that.
Ex: "... blablabla Stork at 9 Fantasy at 3 ... lots of people came out today, thank you everyone, oh there's a lady with a Khan jacket // yes I believe that one is from the auction, she must be a dedicated Khan/Stork fan ... (next game) ... Bisu yellow 6 o'clock OH NO HIS PROBU WHERE IS IT GOING // (amidst crazy fangirl screams) hey wasn't that the same girl who was wearing that Khan jacket? // she must be a fan of both Stork and Bisu // maybe she just likes Protoss ... // AND BISU EXECUTES A PROXY 2GATE INTO WIN GEEEE GEEEE"
I was the foreign guy who nearly won the KT pack auction with Flash's DT-35. When it got to 200,000 won I had to bow out. I seem to remember you walked over and looked at me but honestly I was trying to count how much cash I had in my head, haha.
I managed to meet Stork a few times over the weekend and said hello. I was so happy ^^
That's awesome. The jacket suits you and well you could just replace Brave nonetheless as he really screwed up. Aaannnyyyways, go as whatever you like. Support your team. :-)
Bisu's shirt went for 220 000 won. It was quite funny, seeing as some of the other signed shirts (I forget who, I remember Leta was one of them) went for only 20 000 xD

I agree, post the rest of the pictures! Also you know how I feel about KHAN, you gotta support them ^__^

Damn, that's highway robbery. I would have bid on several, especially the Effort one heh.

I dunno how I would react this comment...that last progamer I'd want to be told that I resemble would be great...
lol agreed.
Regarding the "You look like Stork" comments though, I don't know if that's bad, because I apparently look like a guy, or if it's good, because Stork is gorgeous. haha xD

P.S. During my short time at Fomos some of the Korean fans nicknamed me 'Girl!Bisu' -_-;
Oh noooo, I'm so sorry T__T I didn't hear you. Truthfully, I hadn't eaten all day, so when I got there, the only thing on my mind was food lol. Then afterwards, I was just really shy and didn't know how to butt in and introduce myself ;_;
Next time I'll try not be a fail awkward turtle >< Will you join us for PL this Saturday? You'll get to see me look ridiculous trying to support both teams, haha. God why did I include that option in the poll? :|
And that is definitely a compliment. A girl Bisu would be gorgeous~
