Was a big fan of the Savior, Iris, Much trio since they were my favorite players for each race. This naturally made me into a CJ fan and nowadays i'm cheering for the "new" guys Effort, Skyhigh and Movie and get all excited about their matches. Still i'll always smile when I see one of the big old three in the lineup instead of the new guys. ( yeah i know much is in ace, i hope he comes back to cj after his service) | ||

From the first pro-game I ever saw, I've EASILY been a KT-fan. Mostly because of Flash, but also the teams great historical list of awesome players helps a lot. | ||

So changed to CJ,since my fantasy team is basically all CJ,and i found myself getting excited as hell during their matches. Hydra fighting ^_^ Didn't you have a Khan badge before you went to SK too?  Someone beat me to it. D: | ||

So cheering for a team is really hard to do as the only reason we chear for teams is because of the individuals that constanly wear the logos not because we like the team.If Jaedong wasn't on Oz would so many people like Oz? If Koby wasnt on the Lakers alot of people would still like the lakers, not as much, but still alot. If it was a team sport, Oz wouldn't have made it Pl finals. In summary of my opinion, theres no real teams to cheer for, its just a bunch of individual players who happens to have the same sponsers who arent allowed to play each other in proleague. Edit: some people start saying they love the team after they follow one player. Deep down, thats not true. They really just start liking the other players on the team that win or are fun to watch because they happen to observe them alot because of that one player. If Stork and FBH move to Stars tomorrow, I wouldnt give a damn about Khan. | ||

In SC I liked Savior, now I cheer for CJ I always disliked ACE btw. It's a shame to see the SC heroes end as marketing marionettes for the Korean Air Force. | ||

The strength of teams are based on how strong individuals that play 1 on 1s are and not how much they can work together. Teams are just something for sponsors. That's just crazy. These guys practice with one another basically all day every day. Their styles and expertise influence one another. The team atmosphere shapes their mindset, even psychological endurance. Also, in each match you need at least 2 players to win games. Then you might need other players to lose in mismatches to achieve your wins in the other games. Every game is played by a player who, win or lose, is contributing to his team's success in a winning match. Sure they're not working together while they're on the stage for a given game, but the overall score is the product of a team effort all the way. | ||

I became a KHAN fan solely because of my liking of Stork, and at first I was pretty lackluster in my enthusiasm or the team; but now, I'm definitely a fan of the whole team. And, oddly enough, this season has made me more committed to the team as a whole than ever before, rather than less... although it'll always be Stork > KHAN for me, nevertheless I'm becoming more enthusiastic about the rest of the team every day. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is: Go Stork! Go KHAN! A man after my own heart. I have the same sentiments as you. KHAN can suck ass for the next decade, I'll still cheer for them. I am of the KHAN, for the KHAN, by the KHAN, Samsung KHAN!! But Stork comes before all else. He is the supreme commander. To OP: Great post and I agree. It is funner to cheer for a team rather than just one guy. I definitely follow everything KHAN does, but I'm really worried about them. I think January is making a mistake trying to cultivate zerg players on the team. Big deal if this season is the Swarm's. KHAN's zergs have never really shown talent outside of Great, but even Great has always struck me as a rather gimmicky player. He's calm under pressure but his game sense and mechanics just don't strike me as ever being enough to pull into the top tier. He plays a great macro game at times, but his unit micro, general sense of what to do, etc seems really off. I'd much rather see more Terrans being nurtured in KHAN. FBH is a serious liability nowadays and with his retinal eye tears, LASIK, getting old and never really making it anywhere in the indiv. leagues really seem to have taken a toll on him. I highly doubt FBH will last more than another year or two before retiring. | ||
