Sports teams have animals as their names all the time. Sparkyz is a little weird though, but at least I know what that means. The things KT are proposing I have no idea what those mean and Google doesn't help me either. Need definitions for alpha boom, rolster, and v chef. Don't need definitions for Fox and Sparkyz. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

BTW, SK Telecom isn't South Korea Telecom, because the initials SK used to stand for SungKyeong, the old name of the conglomerate that owns the business. SungKyeong Group has now changed their name to SK with the letters meaning nothing in particular, kind of like how KFC used to be Kentucky Fried Chicken and is now just KFC. | ||

At least KT doesn't make such an idiotic statements like OZ/Lecaf/Hwaseung. It was something like: "we change team name and players are gonna be more loyal cuz we just changed team name and the fact that there is a team name change makes everyone overjoyed and happy and LOYAL" | ||

Rolster kinda sucks cos it implies you have inconsistencies and ups-and-downs a lot ;/ ALPHA BOOM is cool cos it keeps boom and my email address seems more awesome because of it. V Chef I dislike the most, aside from the novelty value. | ||

Not to forget the totally recognizable deep meaning - that they're a progaming team that can make their opponents go south like it was a walk in the park. Hell yeah! Will we see a part two of the epic story 'Netizens gone wild'? I hope so.  olleh KTs already wear these strange shirts (some kinda badly drawn comic strip guy doing something?)... which they should get rid of. Something awesome like a chef costume would make for very entertaining ceremonies at least. edit: 3 reasons not to choose Rolster: 1) Lolster 2) Roflster 3) Rollercoaster carries the notion of constant ups and downs, very unstable Lastly, I agree that KT Alpha(s) would rock. They could even have an awesome symbol. There's a lot you can do with that greek letter. | ||

There's so many problems with each name: 1) KT Alpha Boom Reminds me of childish boys pretending to be men throwing out words like alpha and explosions. Not to mention you keep the Boom which keeps the former attrocity Finger Boom in your mind that much longer for a name that is completely generic with no real meaning as if you just strung two random words together that add even less value together then they would apart. 2) KT Rolster Probably the best name just for the fact that it doesn't mean anything, making this name on par with a teamname like Hwaseung to foreign ears/eyes. With the explanation of it meaning roller coaster shorthand suddenly it creates all these negative images for the team. At any moment our team could be on top or it could slump. Our player's careers are like roller coasters where your favorite player could play like shit tomorrow and break your heart. 3) KT V Chef It's not like you have Midas on your team. You don't even have upmagic heating things up doing fire ceremonies, or July to eat all your food. With Flash eating helps though so maybe. I'd place this one at number two if Chef has some korean meaning of destroying one's opponent, but if that's the case you might as well go all out and call yourselfs KT Bus Drivers. The fact that you use Chef reminds every American of South Park, which reminds everyone of Finger Bang, which reminds them all of Finger Boom. | ||

Rolster: I'd be fine with this, because I could just pretend it didn't mean anything. (This is my approach with CJ "Entus".) V-Chef: Well, at least I would get a chuckle out of it whenever I read it in an LR thread. But why does it make me think of the Gourmet Race in Kirby? | ||

Pretty sure it was also a play on Magician, but they still phonetically pronounced it Majik-Ens. | ||
