BW will end if it's Stork. Fantasy is obviously not for sale. That leaves Stork/Jangbi/Great. Judging from Great's blog and Yellow's post, there is only one Kongliner who shall enter KT. Perhaps we misintepreted Great's post, and he shall be the one to enter KT. Otherwise, that leaves Jangbi. One way or another, Stork entering KT is not funny. | ||

KT doesen't need another toss players since violet will come back =] I really hope that news is not about transfer from somoene from khan to kt. But even if that happen is not a big deal since khan has a lot of good players. When light leave mbc I thoght: OMG mbc is so screwd, than they beat kt and tyson, jaehoon, hyun, started to play very decent. And they still have sea who could beat anyone. Anyway, long live to rock n' roll and bw. | ||

It means the companies are still interested in esports and are willing to pay big bucks to have strong players in their team. Samsung Khan is not a silly team. They know how to negotiate and if they think that they can compete with one of their star players leaving them, then good for them. Khan has been struggling for a while now. They are doing what's right for the team by growing their younger players and giving them a chance. This is the only way they will become a strong team in the future. Transferring old timers is not going to contribute to the long term future of the team. There's nothing stopping Khan from buying talent either. None of the teams in proleague are poor. And no, I don't feel upset for light because I thought it was a great move by woongjin. They needed a solid player to be more competitive. They are still near the bottom of the league. And I'd just like to reiterate...Flash is home grown talent and Bisu is from MBC. | ||

Kong Line: First, you have to know who the infamous "Kong" is. "Kong" is the nickname of Hong Jin Ho, aka Yellow. "Kong" in Korean means "bean", which rhymes with Yellow's last name, Hong, and Yellow's height... is not exactly the tallest, which is why people have dubbed him "Kong", poking fun at his small bean-like height. But what is the so-called "Kong Line"? Yellow is infamous for always getting to the finals of tournaments and then losing them, thus getting whole bunch of silver trophies/2nd place results racked up on his record. That's why his fans call him the "King of Silver" or the "Silver Surfer". Whenever another player starts to rack up a lot of silvers, people then say that they are officially a member of the "Kong Line", or "Silver Surfer Club". So far the members of the Kong Line are Yellow as the leader and founder of the club, Stork, Jangbi, Fantasy, and great, the newest member who fans consider to have entered the Kong Line with his 1st silver from losing the MSL. It is definitely not a good thing to be a member in the Kong Line; you want to escape from it by winning more golds/taking more 1st place titles. | ||

If you want to booster up your team, look for another / new coach. But more importanly, focus on your / the rookies. Have coaches focus on them, let them gather every possibly experience and slowly get them to the A-Team. That's something i really don't like about SKT for instance. They have / had FBB, but they really don't give their aspiring players much playtime. Sun is the only one getting sent out more frequently, and just in winners league. Remember last time Ssak played? Me neither. Paralyze? Never. They even send out their Zergs as rarly as possible. That's not how a strong team should be imo. Whole winners league was basically hoping Bisu going to clean and fantasy to not have his horrendous days. I really really thought / hoped Samsung would again become a strong force with grape, turn,brave and reality as soon as they get accustomed to the pro-league environement with the elders jangbi / stork beeing the flagship. I had this idea already when KT bought Action. There should be some kind of drafting system, like in the NBA. But I guess all the strange KeSPA rules regarding free agency is to prevent these things from happening. | ||

Don't want any of them in my precious KT ㅠ_ㅠ I personally don't consider great to be a member of the Kong line, but after he lost in the MSL, the Korean netizens immediately went, "LOOOL welcome the newest member of the Kong Line!!! Finally a Zerg successor to founder Yellow!!" and such. I heard that Jangbi was also poking fun at great after he lost because great liked to make fun of him for being a member of the Kong Line, and he said something along the lines of, "Now you know how it feels to be a member of the Kong Line >)" but I just saw that in a comment somewhere, so I'd take that with a grain of salt. | ||

He wants to stack some money, and if Samsung doesn't want to raise his salary what reason to stay with KHAN? He is professional gamer after all, he makes his living from it. All sport's clubs are similar in this: money = good players no money = farm club | ||
