Hello all those who doubted Khan! Even some with the icon lacked faith! Now you know!

Like expected we are on a good way so far. Khan is in the playoffs and there is no team I would fear, compared to Khan they all seem less consistent and deep.

I think Coach January is just an excellent coach who knows how to manage her team. She often sends out the most suitable players for each situation, occassionally gives chances to lesser players, and also has produced some of the most promising rookies.

She's the only remaining head Coach who used to be a progamer afaik right?, I guess this gives her extra perspective. But man, Khan finally has some rookies developing that are promising, how long has it been since they've had that? Plus the acquisitions recently, if they brought out BO7 for the entire season Khan should do very well.

I sure always did believe

Samsung KHAN was, is and for sure will be the most balanced team that even when in slump can easily win with every one/two-star-player roster.
But when on their highest peak, they can deflect any punch enemies would throw at them

Also, FBH coming back soon I'd assume, hopefully the reason he hasn't been playing recently isn't anything bad.

I love it how people got from calling January Trollnuary and bashing her for fielding random players to complementing her on her insight when things do actually work out.
Makes perfect sense.

I feel the whole January trolling thing, at least those who spoke it seriously rather than in jest, was not really justified. As someone who followed Khan for years now, they've always had trouble when it comes to Ace choice. Stork had always been inconsistent in the PL with very average ace records. Not to mention his PvZ was mediocre for a long time. Jangbi was in a huge slump for a long time. FBH in his prime couldn't win a TvP to save his life. In the end even though they had strong players, they never had that definitive "Ace" that Bisu, Jaedong, Flash provided.

In the end, Khan simply look like a team that's when aces don't factor into play. Which is why I really want them to get first place, since in a potential 3-match series of Bo7 with Ace match, they become a bit nerfed.

Khan has easily had one of the deepest lineups in all of BW overall. Other teams may have been more powerful, but Khan always played things a bit differently.

SKT's had tons of great players, but it seems like they rely on whoever among their potential aces isn't in a slump...KT has been utterly carried by Flash for the last four years... -_-

Samsung was a powerhouse that last season 2v2 was in. Their TT/Zeus combo was just insane. 2v2s were almost a guaranteed win. After that, they pulled wins with careful player picks instead of relying on a star player. They've been more inconsistent since then, but they've always been pretty damn clutch. I think they've made at least top four every year since I started following BW, but I'm not sure.

EITHER WAY...to my favorite team...and how I hope to god they'll win this year!
