but i think his relative lack of late-game play makes people dislike him. Also, the reason you like him is probably why alot of people dont like him, seeing a game end with zergling all-ins or runby's gets really boring really fast.

THIS IS WHY I HATE SHINE TOO

I was going to make that analogy, but i didnt want to insult Kwanro, who i consider to on an entirely different level and much better.

Hatred for Shine > Kwanro
Respect for Shine < Kwanro

In general, respect for a Zerg who plays hyperaggressive and 'abusive' against Terran fast expands will be higher than respect for a Zerg who plays hyperaggressive and 'abusive' against Protoss fast expands, because of Z<T and Z>P on most modern maps. (Kwanro also has greater achievements/history of results.)
My strategy is to fork people.

Yeah, Iris dubbed Kwanro "Pikachu" when he said "GO PIKACHU!" in the behind-the-scenes footage.

Kwanro sucks. All he does is all ins. Stork already has him figured and its about time others do too.

Lulzy OP.

If Kwanro knocks Flash out of the MSL, I will bake a cake in the shape of a hat and eat it.

Hope you like cake. Cause Kwanro's gonna bounce Flash by making just zerglings and suiciding them and somehow winning.

I've seen Kwanro go late game plenty of times and actually succeed compared to Shine, so that comparison is a little off.

Wow this might be the most let down and misinformed thread ever, he will never be the next ggplay and on top of that we should judge him for just massing lings every game... If anything why shouldn't we judge him for that?
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

What proleague game was this? (Ongamenet channel)


It was Kwanro vs Flash and he went 2 hatch mutas and got fucking raped. I made the sign vs a Protoss too, I can't remember, but he ending up finishing with Zerglings so I was happy.

Kwanro does not always do all-ins. He's completely different from shine, who has no late game management whatsoever. Kwanro can actually play a decent management game, but he just generally chooses not to.

Unfortunately he's still gonna get absolutely crushed by flash.

OK. Thx.

Second question, does the Korean community also call Kwanro "Pikachu"?

Or is it just us?

It would be pretty funny if I use NATE to search for Pikachu and get a picture of Kwanro's face.
