I predict after one of these names will be picked someone will tell them how horrible the suggested names are. The person who made the names will be fired and a new horrible batch of names will be made only to result in that person also being fired leading to a horrible cycle of the name changing team KT. Assuming the KT part stays...

RO(F)Lster is good.

example in a sentence.
Luxury won, what a Roflster

but I am guessing V chef will win.
only thing that is close to making any sense like MagicNs.

Actually now that I think about we should see what logos they'll release alongside of the new name.. I can't imagine what they could come up for Alpha Boom and Rolster (seriously, what the fuck is Rolster), but I sure as hell can imagine how cheesy V Chef would look like -____-''''

If it gets changed to V Chef.. they better make Shogun wear a chef outfit rofl

Those are hideous names. Fingerboom was 50x better, plus it went well with KTF. KT Fingerboom.
Alpha Boom is meh, Rolster lol?
V Chef on the other hand is pretty epic.
God Bless

my theory is that some KT higher up's son/daughter out of college with a degree in PR or marketing needed a job.

Here is the reasoning behind the candidates according to the KT site.

Translated in pretty much the exact same format. All of the original's bad logic, terrible English comprehension, and valueless powerpoint style presentation has been preserved.



1. KT alpha boom
ㅇ alpha(first, the brightest star) + Boom
ㅇ A progaming team that can stir up a storm in E-sports.
ㅇ A name that can emphasize the legacy of KT Magic Ns, the very first Korean progaming team.

2. KT Rolster
ㅇ Contraction of "Roller Coaster."
ㅇ A progaming team that can offer exciting victories.
ㅇ Appealing to e-sports fans who are sensitive to trends, through the use of contraction.

3. KT V Chef
ㅇ victory, value + Chef (This is not translated, this is exactly what it was in the original).
ㅇ A progaming team consisting of players who can effortlessly "cook" (a figure of speech in Korean. in the context of progaming, it means you can defeat someone easily) other team's players.

Calling Chef!? Chef!?

I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

ALL OF THOSE NAMES ROCK.

Come on, you guys just like CJ Entus and Hite SPARKYZ or STARS or w/e just because you are so used to hearing it - they are just as terrible as these.

I'd be happy with any of those above names n_n Probably even more so if I understood what any of them meant.
