People that think Kwanro sucks are missing the part where he wins a lot of games, does well in solo leagues, and is a great change-up to throw at various players. He's an awesome tool to have and something SKT honestly lacks - an early-game specialist.

You wonder why they bothered to resign Hyuk if they were planning to buy Kwanro.

And this still doesn't make them better than KT, unless Kwanro is going to be their Flash sniper 80

SKT is damn deep. just need another decent terran along side Fantasy. (Dont count Boxer or Oov. they dont play for their team -_-)

I honestly feel like they should bring up a terran rather than buy one. Hopefully in a way which his playstyle differs from Fantasy.

What do they honestly think they're going to get out of Kwanro. I know they don't have good zergs but what makes them think they can revive Kwanro and build him into a good zerg when for the longest time they've been unable to produce a good proleague zerg? The fact that Kwanro is more suited for series play than proleague play makes this even more confusing since it was plainly obvious that he was hardly an asset on Woongjin Stars, a team with a much better zerg lineup.

Win rates are deceiving, Kwanro won a lot of games but a large chunk of these games were won against some of the weakest players in proleague (Hogil, Chavi, SKT zergs, Firefist, Reach, etc).

In this analysis you say that Kwanro is both better suited for series plan than proleague and then in the next breath suggest that his great stats are only because he's beaten some of the easier A-teamers in Proleague. And this without mentioning that everyone who plays and wins regularly in PL gets to play their share of bad players.

Kwanro is no different and suggesting his play is more suited to series play, when he barely ever gets far in leagues, compared to his strong regular performance in PL seems off to me. He's a proven winner, people just dislike his style as being too early game or cheesy, much as people hated on Leta for the same thing.

The guy wins, he's one of the stronger zergs out there, I'd be happy if I was a SKT1 fan.

why did SKT let (T)Midas go? were they really that confident in (T)Canata?

i know he wasn't performing well at the time, but it seems he didn't really get much of a chance to. who was supposed to relpace him?

The people bashing Kwanro forget that he 3-killed SKT during the Winners League, with two kwanroooollls!! against Fantasy and Best, and a standard game vs Canata that I love because his personality really comes through at one point in the game: Canata's mnm/tank/vessel force is moving out and chasing away his lurkers and lings, Kwanro is running them back, then they make the junction with a few reinforcements from his base and he immediately turns them around and attacks head-on. No stalling, no flanking attempt, just an impulsive about-face. Canata's forces get slaughtered. Kwanroooooo

Gogo Kwanro. Hope he does well, although I agree they should have gone after a Terran player rather than a Zerg.

Poor Kwanro, he is now a member of the infamous SKT Zerg. Here's hoping he stays above 50% win rate.

Really though, such a lack of confidence to Hyuk, s2 and SoO by the SKT Manager.

They had (T)Fantasy

Although Midas did go on a tear not too long ago, Canata was doing just as well, if not better last year.

Guys, remember Gorush, and how he was the best Zerg before T1 took him off CJ (GO back then)?

T1 is a graveyard for talented Zerg players. July and Gorush can attest to that.


Sigamari too.

on topic: like someone said Kwanro is good at getting his job done, but on the other hand hes pretty "unstable" if I can call him like this. Anyways, if SKT had him in lineup before set 6 started in last PL finals, nothing would change.

Haha Woongjin should get some decent Terran in return. Zero learned how to ZvZ again and Soulkey is doing great. Kwanro is unneeded.

I tend to agree with this. SoulKey is pretty good and actually wins games that go into the late game. Kwanro was kind of a let down for Stars, other than ZvZ. But to be fair, Free and Zero underperformed in the later rounds as well...

SKT kind of needs a terran, too, with Canata not performing and Ssak (Mong) apparently not good enough to be sent out very often.

(And happy b-day to TheAngelofDeath!)
