SKT T1, Not SKT1

Does it bug anyone else when people use SKT1?

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.

Yes, it bothers me a lot. I said something about it once or twice before and it didn't go over too well with everyone else.

The first time I did the proleague R&S I had them as SKT1 until Carnac pointed it out to me. Saved me from certain disaster!

no seriously i don't think i've ever heard that here before O_O

has it always been like that???? i don't even ever remember seeing that on TV (they often have english characters and not korean and i always remember it being SKT1) or maybe it was because i just assumed it said SKT1 and didn't look closely enough o_O



*runs to check old VODs*


also i thought the player IDs were always like...

the t is lower case and the SK is upper case, so it's SKtelecom

SKtelecom T1 = SKT1

See, when people are nice and sweet about this, it makes me feel terrible. 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.

SKT1 rolls off the tongue (or in this case, finger) better than SKTT1.
