![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/issue/1271218197_1.jpg) note: I have no idea who Ggman is, he's some chump in SKT1. The aforementioned players applied to get into Air Force Ace. The first results will be announced in April 23rd. Sorry this is so short. Too lazy to translate word for word.

I hope he gets accepted, he could probably end up being as successful as RuBy was. He always struck me as a fairly solid player, who in this case just didn't get enough playing time because he's on a team with Jangbi and Stork. Fuck Rock and Ggman though. | ||

ggman is 19, so is m18m Maybe ACE will become the "pissed is not getting playing time" team as opposed to the "no-name old guys who suck" team as suggested by someone on a previous thread. Tho TBH OZ could use a toss versus say like Flash if Jaedong is defeated. M18M would be perfect. So happy... Tho it would have been better if Ruby + Show Spoiler + won a game vs Khan last night | ||

Hope M18M will get in. He has pretty damn good PvT. But given that he was on a team with Stork and Jangbi he never got to play much which is a shame... | ||

He's really fun to watch PvT and he'd get a lot more playtime on ACE ACE is losing Reach and Anytime soon, right? so hopefully M18M and Rock can both get in Reach still has another 8+ months or so iirc. Anytime and Casy are the ones nearing the end of their time with Ace I believe. Did they say they were only taking on 2 players? If they are I would think they'd take M18M and ggaemo, easy. GgMaN has no chance and Rock is just the odd man out it looks like. Maybe a year ago Rock gets in, but not now. Who knows though maybe they'll do what they did for Cloud and let him in on almost nothing other than being a recognizable old-school name | ||

M18M is actually very very good. Ace will have a better protoss line than Oz, MBC and Wemade if this goes through. Nice! | ||

A team of Heros into a team of noobs. Sorry guys, but if that happens, ACE would completely lose its appeal. It may even get disbanded because it will keep losing games anyway and also have zero fanbase. | ||

Yea, it'll happen eventually, but the players who go into Ace are also getting better and younger. Who knows, they might win some games down the road. However, Ace needs to get some more old stars like Pusan and Nada while making that transition. | ||

Name value is the primary reason that ACE has a solid fanbase. | ||

Imo the current line up of Ace is decent. They just need a good Z. Darkelf / Ruby / Much as main players Reach / Anytime if more needed. | ||

I really feel that ACE could get alot more wins with another player around the quality of ruby on the team - someone they could rely on to do well against the non top-tier players in proleague. All they'd need is a little bit of luck to have ruby/m18m win their games and then have darkelf bring it home with some bbs. Or at the very least take games to acematch with some regularity | ||

and to be honest, i don't see rock as a real enhancement for ace. reach and anytime should be way better. the only reason for picking him up would be, that reach and anytime will drop out of ace in near future (i have no idea when though). m18m is pretty decent i think and i guess he'll make it in - despite the formerly stated reasons. he's better than rock. | ||

M18M should have applied to Oz instead. But with the racial rule removed, I suppose ACE is the better call. | ||

Rock, with the loss the other day, has now tied for 2nd longest Proleague losing streak (and going) at 12 losses. Frozen and Daezang also have 12-loss streaks. Reach holds the longest losing streak at 13 losses (hard to believe, right?). | ||

Edit: Looked back through his records: Sure he is on a huge losing streak but thats because he is a super veteran. Back in his prime he was pretty decent. He beat Jaedong in a Bo5 or something and some other big names in younger years and had a decent win-loss ratio back then as well. I mean, he was around when Nal-ra and Boxer were still playig regularly(and beat both). Do we all laugh at him because of Artosis? Because he played relatively better starcraft in his prime than a lot of guys in their primes right now. | ||
