Assuming 队长 means captain, then yes. It might also mean "elder"

Leta was still behind the entire game, couldn't take his nat for a while after Paralyze (because of the DTs and the turret snipe when Leta was trying to finally creep to his nat). He was never able to establish a large force and because of that had to be very aggressive, to try to cripple his opponent and come back a bit. Unfortunately his siege behind Paralyze's base was thwarted easily (good play on Paralyze's part but Leta was highly outnumbered). Same when he tried to grab a 3rd. In the end it was the DTs that sealed an advantage Leta wasn't able to surpass. Game 2 was just Leta disappointing though. The hype is way over the top. At least Snow's hype began after he dominated the dream league and then ripped through the prelims. Paralyze has a very mediocre non-televized record and a short OSL career so far. BTW, this hype started BEFORE his 2-0 of Leta, so that was based off of 2 games vs great and his prelims play alone (and the afro, which I believe is why so many people are flocking to him). If he can actually deliver solid wins for the next few months I might be a fan. At the moment he's pretty underwhelming. I basically disagree with 99% of this but that discussion has no point anyway. To each his own opinion etc. | ||

I played impromptu, so I was constantly berating myself, asking "Why did you play this way?" But then I thought, in the upcoming games I would definitely use the strategies I had the best grasp of. So I pulled myself together that way. OMG, lolol. "Why did you play this way?" -> mutas ZvP "Use the strategies I had the best grasp of" -> hydra bust.

I felt that it bought me time, so it wasn't a big deal. Oh sheesh...everyone LR'ing was flabbergasted at it...it was an a-move after all?!? Man if the translator didn't have a history of authentic translations I would have thought it was a joke! On November 19 2010 22:18 Funnytoss wrote: Q: Anything else? A: Sun, Best, and Bisu have been helping me practice for a long time. They helped me analyze the enemy's style, so I want to thank them for that. It seems that people have been worried about me, but now I've advanced, so I'm now very happy and there's no need to worry. Despite being captain I haven't been getting good results, so I felt ashamed. It's good that I advanced today, and from now on I'll show everyone a new Captain Hyuk. Damn T1 really is a happy practice family. Thanks for the Hyuk translation. On November 20 2010 14:31 DarkMatter_ wrote: Wait...Hyuk is SKT's captain? What happened to Canata? The captaincy passed from Canata to Hyuk a few months ago without fanfare (at least on TL). We can only speculate as to why, but speculate away I shall. Usually the captaincy is held by one of the most senior/veteran players, and Canata is by far more of a veteran than Hyuk is. But we also sometimes see (in past situations) the captaincy pass to another player shortly before the former captain retires, and that might be the case here. Or Canata might be considering it more seriously, even if he hasn't decided. Late last season Canata mentioned thoughts about retiring in a rare winner interview, when he broke a huge losing streak, and his current results aren't exactly encouraging. Plus his huge, truly mythological string of victories in Survivor just ended. I'd hate to see him go, too, but it might be the best for him to move on with his life. I liked him because he was veeerrrry bubbly and upbeat (well back before he kept losing every game). Plus he's reputed to be one of the hardest working players in the game, and I always respect such people in every walk of life. If he doesn't update the absolutely empty fanclub OP soon, I'm going to compile all the information myself, beyond just the summary stuff I've done so far. Then the #1 claim might no longer look as appropriate. | ||

perhaps it could be something similar as well. but i think the retirement issue is more likely. | ||

JD stuck being captain only until another veteran returned to the team to take that responsibility can be seen as more evidence that the role isn't assigned arbitrarily. But yeah, if the responsibilities involved do take such a toll, it would be terrible for a team's backbone player to also be saddled with captaincy too. | ||
