Basically, Kal and Pure are doing their trials for Air Force Ace team for 30 days. They'll get their results back on the Sept. 20th. Seems like they're competing against each other to see which one of them will be accepted to Ace.

http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=49373

UPDATE: Kal has joined Ace.

Seriously, why can't Ace have more guys on their roster, just so they have more tactical match options?

Kal, great, FBH, Iris, ggaemo...

That's a pretty legit lineup!

Midas has a.. condition. I doubt he has to go to military, so he can take it easy, or well, as easy as he can with the disbanding problems.

I think its due to Fox being disbanded and STX putting their lineup on sale. Kal and Pure became benchers and it is not surprising that they have fewer chances to be a admitted to some other team and getting a chance to play. So they chose the easy way to stay in a rooster.

STX is not disbanding, Oz is, Kal has simply reached the age where he is ready for service, this simply means that they both still want to be players while they still can.

Although it's possible with stx looking to trade their whole roster, Kal has been informed internally that they don't see him as part of stx's future. And rather than getting traded around and join a team he might not like, he rather goes to ACE.

Because he seems kinda young for ACE.

Don't know you can say that about Pure, his PvP can be decent, but here's a list of his wins in non-mirrors this past 12 months:

2-1 vs Chavi in MST prelims
1-0 vs Alone in proleague
2-1 vs hon_sin in MST prelims
2-0 vs SonGDuri in MST prelims
1-0 vs Skyhigh in proleague
2-0 vs SonGDuri in MST prelims again

Maybe to a certain degree. But both of them will have to do their military service eventually maybe they both see it as the time/opportunity to finish it while still playing BW while the opportunity (ACE) still exists. (

I think people should be aware of the "ace aura", people who has been mediocre or even second string usually find themselves with a sudden boost of relevance in ACE, examples include Ruby, FBH, ggaemo, piano, peace, etc

If I'm not mistake, both of them were born in same year (1990). I wish if both of them were accept to ACE. But next season, ACE will look different.

By the way, thanks for the news nitdkim.

I've lost all respect for pure after that abomination of a game against Leta in I believe an MST. It was one of the worst things I've seen from a protoss perspective in a PvT.

Kal on the other hand I have no idea what happened. The guy's not that old as he came onto the scene very young. He has had a lot of success for a long timer, was even part of the 6 dragons back in 2008-2009. Was protoss of the year last year. And then just fell off the face of the Earth.

But overall, Kal >>>> Pure even if he just doesn't care anymore.

I hope Kal can rediscover his form in Ace, maybe the special training routine of the team would fit his style.

Still, it's weird to see the youngest dragon join ACE first - actually, he would be the youngest player on the entire team if he ended up being picked.

All in all, ACE has always been a team very close to my heart, this year they made awesome progress with FBH, Ruby and Iris, and I'm looking forward to seeing great and Kal there. ACE fighting!
BW fighting!

Brotoss to ACE, I'm down with that.
Something happened to him and he obviously wasn't enjoying himself. Those interviews were painful to read and he's one of my favorite players.

His PvT is one of the most entertaining ways of playing I have ever seen.
His PvZ, when spot on was just brutal and his PvP was absolutely phenomenal when he was on his game.

I just don't know where that game went.

And Pure can take a leap. I don't know what it is about him but I could not care less what he does or where he goes.
The mystery of life is not a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. **Hang in there STX fans!! Kal Hwaiting!**

Ace is fucking stacked. If FBH can teach kal and great how to stop slumping and be awesome ace could actually get close to .500.

why is kal doing this? this is a huge blow to BW, much bigger than the teams disbanding imo. i think it's highly doubtful he ever regains his past form now.

i've always had a soft spot for kal. now we're going to essentially lose one of the 10 best players in the game.

Wrong. Once youre in the military there is no going back.

And this is what a lot of westernes dont understand ; its no party when youre getting conscripted. Its hard life. Even for ACE guys, it is hard work with no pay for two years, sweat and blood. Little difference from a concentration camp other than the more patriotic atmosphere. And those who do not get accepted into ACE, get to enjoy the "comforts" of the regular army, which are to be honest, brutal, and a brain fuck largely, because of how many absurdities and nonsense ordeals the privates have to go through on their superiors' whims.

Kal will probably be the best player Ace has had in a long long LONG time if he gets in, even though he's been slumping since WCG last year.

Why can't both chaps make the team? I guess Kal has more potential because of his history of more wins. Pure made an OSL Ro4 once though, so he's not all bad.

Yo wtf are you crazy my man? This guy is THE Ace player. You have to be tough in the military.

Midas will probably do government work like Kingdom is going to be doing and what Nal_Ra's been doing (if he really does have a condition). Korea will make you serve the country in one way or another if you're mentally stable and able bodied.
PM me if you want random korean images translated.

Kal, firebathero, Iris, ggaemo, great... that's a pretty good lineup, with some luck and dedication they should make the playoffs and who knows, maybe even win... but that's a taller order.

neither of these particularly surprise me. should hopefully regenerate ACE's protoss line. tbh really surprised that Midas isn't doing the same, he's what, 24 now?

Midas has a.. condition. I doubt he has to go to military, so he can take it easy, or well, as easy as he can with the disbanding problems.


What's wrong with Midas?


Midas said he wasn't going to join ACE anyways so it doesn't matter.

Yeah but well he has this.. thing with him, so probably wont have to go to army

oh man, that really sucks. I was hoping Kal would stick it out a little longer in STX and see if he could un-slump . IT WAS ONLY 8 MONTHS AGO HE WAS A TOP 5 PLAYER! Hopefully ACE will do for him what it did for FBH though and he'll be better than ever.

what will happen to the player that doesn't get picked up by ACE? just retirement and going to military? :\

Pretty much, yeah. The player will just end up serving their mandatory time in the military.

KaL is an amazing player... Ace would simply be lucky as hell to have em.
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

with all due respect to pure, it would be an absolute tragedy for the BW scene to completely lose one of the most entertaining players of the era, as well as one of the more influential (in recent times at least). please ACE, TAKE KAL

Why cant ACE take both?
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Please don't speak like that of anybody.
Every player is essential to BW.

i could never like protoss :/

but you're right, i shouldn't talk like that. pure still needs to get his act together though. maybe if he does get into ACE he can work something out.

yeah especially given the fact that a protoss player who has been in the similar slump has basically just + Show Spoiler +
won a Starleague.


I'm thinking of putting an ACE icon for the next season Because I don't know for what team else to cheer.. with all this uncertainty where the disbanded teams' players will go, I can only be fan of some players, but who knows what the teams will be like...

Ace = firebathero+Iris+great+Kal... hmmm really impressive lineup.

Also, wonder what happened to Pure. He doesn't have a team to go back to right now, so....

Well done Kal. So what happens to Pure? Does this mean he's retired? I mean he won't be playing for two years.

I used to not care about Ace at all when I first started watching bw (07-08?). That was because I got into it so late that I didn't really care about the grumpy old schoolers. Now that players who I know and can relate to are joining ace I'm getting really excited!! And at the same time I begin to understand why other people got so excited when Ace was playing..
