Kwanro is a ZvZ specialist guys... Where did SKT struggle the most against? Zerg...

Fantasy/Best have had problems in the past and Bisu, who knows... What they were missing was a ZvZ specialist.

As for the Proleague final question: Match 4, Tempest vs S2... imagine if that was Tempest vs Kwanro... Kwanro wins that and then we go to Fantasy vs Flash ace... and who knows what happens.

I'm new to the scene so I don't know this but was TheZerg good or promising when he joined T1?

you know, i fucking hate bisu and SKT in general... but for the sake of BW, i hope bisu rises again to play like during his peak.... i hope fantasy keeps steady and is a solid ace... i hope best can continue to dominate p v t and p v p and i hope kwanro does well

there needs to be another team that can rival KT, and i for the sake of BW e-sports, i need SKT to rival them, trade blows and bring back the famed rivarly between these two great teams....

my secret desire is to have OZ rise back from the grave.
mother fucking anytime is BACK BITCHES!
they will have a more solid lineup across all races =)

Ya and if Fantasy had won that match, Flash would probably have lost his momentum and proceeded on losing to Jaedong in both MSL and OSL finals.

And people would be calling Jaedong bonjwa, not Flash.

Damn how a tiny thing could have changed everything.

He made OSL RO16 on his first attempt, going out 1-2.

Then he moved from MBC and was never heard from again.

Really loving this move from SKT1. Kwanro's a better player than the other T1 zergs in general, but he's also a really high variance player. Drawing Hyuk or s2 versus a top player is almost an auto-lose, but with Kwanro you can always roll the dice for a 25% one-hit-KO chance

I think it's much better to have Kwanro dropping a few stupid games versus worse opponents but picking up some improbable wins against good players, than having Hyuk getting totally predictable results.

That's a good point. Kwanro may be inconsistent, but for some reason its like he can win games even if the odds are totally against him. However with Hyuk and the rest of the skt zergs, its like as if the game is already decided by sheer odds.

I knew deep inside that this felt like a really good move, but could never come if the words to describe why. Kwanro is in his own special league compared to the other skt zergs. Hes like the trump card that SKT never really had.

maybe $$? It's why I hate SC trades cuz you never see any player for player deals, which would be more interesting and less unfair to poorer teams.

That's sports man. In football one team pays another to either buy a player or lend him for a season or two, it's never a player for player trade. It sucks for poor teams, but if the team gets better it gets more attention which leads to higher revenue and ability to purchase better players. Teams that suck and don't improve don't deserve to have good players who would go to waste in them.
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

he had made a ro16 (or ro8? i forgot) of the OSL, so he was certainly not crappy and looking to improve. pretty promising.

then he like died.

SKT1 is indeed a graveyard for zergs but I think Kwanro has the talent to perform well regardless. HyuK isn't as bad as was previously thought so I have high hopes for his performance, I like Kwanro even though I hate SKT.

Like, the only decent Zerg in SKT proleague history was Gorush. Gorush wasn't even a true SKT Zerg either. He was bought and steadily on the decline after purchase. July never contributed to SKT at all.

Lol, the coaching staff had enough with the randomness of the T1 Zergs and decided to secure its lineup with money. Let's see where this is headed.

I am sure that half of the TL already forgot Kwanro is indeed a league finalist.

Those are not mutually exclusive...

LOL EPIC LOL hahahahahaha
omg you win...

*still laughing*
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

Maybe Kwanro can go legit by learning from the PvZ master Bisu and TvZ expert(sometimes) Fantasy.
A 4th player that could actually make an ace. This should be good.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.
