Started watching in 2008 around the time when Jaedong, Bisu were playing epic matches. I took an immediate dislike to Jaedong (i thought he was conceited??) and just started cheering for Bisu/SKT instead.

My impressions have since changed and I love Jaedong more and more, for his determination/work ethic/death stare. He seems to genuinely love his foreign fans. I saw Bisu's form slump as laziness/confidence on his part, I lost interest until his form came back recently.

Favourite player these days is Jaedong but I still cheer for SKT because I arbitrarily chose them in 2008 and I like Best/the other guys a lot.

Your argument is that because the trophies are different, one can be considered harder and therefore relevant while the other is not?

Why even bother replying if you're going to ignore the most relevant parts of the post...

Just because a TL writer makes a front page article saying OSL is no longer the most prestigious tournament of all time doesn't make it truth. Ratings, announcers, and progamers make the opinions.

Im a SKT fan mainly because of Bisu at first. However, Ive grown to love BeSt and fantasy as well as their coach/manager. Hes a smart coach and makes great decisions.

Boxer first introduced me to progaming, and Bisu beating sAviOr is when I started actually watching (before I didn't know it was broadcast on TV so I would just download replays of Boxer).

edit: I kinda like Hyuk too lol, pfffft to Fantasy

I think all SKT1 fans spend their replay watching times coloring.

I love SKT because of their players' playing style.

Or to be more specific, Bisu, Fantasy and Boxer.

Their playing styles are just screaming entertainment. Yes, even those fail builds from Fantasy. Fantasy v.s. Calm is one of my most beloved rivalry. The failtainment in their numerous series is just so great.

Bisu's multitask based harassment heavy pretty boy style entertains to no end. As long as he is playing, there is always something going on in the game. No massive 15 minutes turtling with nothing happening. He drops, dt, bulldog, proxy, proberto, whatever. He's THE man.

Boxer is boxer. Nothing else need to be added.

Best can be pretty entertaining when his macro truly kicks in. It's pretty awe worthy to watch endless stream of units reinforcing his huge ass army as he 1a2a3a4a5a them into plague, storm, mines, tanks, lurkers and cliffs.

And of course, Hyuk, our future Zerg bonjwa. He is the Zerg version of Backho. Who can possibly hate Backho?

Fantasy is a cheesy, gimmicky Terran. I'm glad Bisu reclaimed his rightful spot as SKT's ace. s2 is currently my favorite SKT player. IMO, he has way more potential than Hyuk.

But Hyuk is so hilarious... I personally think s2 is very meh. Hyuk is at least entertaining to watch no matter what happens.
