It has been decided that the 8th team will be captained by protoss Kim Jaehoon.
Under the recommendation of Director Joo Hoon and Coach Han Sang Yong, Jaehoon has taken up the captaincy of the 8th team. As the oldest member of the team and an experienced player, Jaehoon was recommended based on his ability to lead his teammates of a similar age- Jaedong, Sea and Tyson, as well as embrace the younger players in the team. His teammates are said to welcome this decision.
No one has greater affection for the 8th team than Jaehoon. Although he emerged as one of the key players for MBCGame HERO in the 2010-2011 season, he did not manage to qualify for an FA (Free Agent) status because of earlier seasons' performances. In the coming season, Jaehoon again faces the challenge of attaining an FA status. Through the 8th team, he also seeks to carve out his 2nd life as a progamer.
Coach Joo said: "I listened to the players' opinions about Jaehoon and witnessed his ability to lead the players. I made this decision based on the hope that their captain will direct the 8th team as their role model".
"In harmony with my colleagues of a similar age, I will set an example for the younger players and lead the team", were Jaehoon's words after undertaking the captaincy.

Jaehoon, we know you will do your best! :D
/affection for team captains XD

I like the oldest in the team being captain! Go Jaehoon!
|
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONED!!!!!!!
Mark my words, The Hoon will tear everyone down
|
sigh...i was wishing the dong would be captain. oh well, Jaehoon will be a good captain so it's okay.
|
gogogogo need new team icon... allthough its a kespa team :D...
gonna miss you mbc
|
Damn! i thought they'd make dong the captain. but oh well. hope jaehoon is gonna be a good captain.....
|
I thought MB  Sea will be the captain T_T
|
What an epic journey of a career Jaehoon has experienced. From a ridiculed PvX enigma to to the captain for the frigging dream team, and he still has much potential left in his career. I, for one, will be cheering him on as he leads the dream team to victory.
|
Makes sense that the oldest player in the team would be captain.
|
Makes sense that the best player on the team would be captain. Now he just has to explain all his crazy strats

That would just be an unnecessary burden, so it's better that way. He needs to concentrate on his games.

I thought Killer would have been made captain.

Jaehoon was destined to be captain.

Yeah, there's no way that would be happening with JD on the team.
Jaehoon seems like the logical choice, probably the worst player out of the 6 reserved ones and the oldest as well. No idea about his personality though but I'll take coach's word for it.

He is not the worst. You're prejudiced.

Oops, I thought for sure Tyson had higher elo and had attained better results. Man was I wrong...
And no, I'm not prejudiced. I know Jaehoon played well last year, so this wasn't even an insult. Just a statement of facts (which turned out to be wrong). I was merely suggesting that out of the 6 great players reserved, he was the least talented or had the least amount of achievements. In other words, the worst. But I was wrong, sorry.

My anti-team for FPL R5-6 can testify for Ryo. Basically ruined me (Having Jangbi on there also did not help either)

Jaehoon is the Enigma, you can't expect everyone to grasp it right away

Yeah go Jaehoon!
Gratz for the captain position and I hope everyone does well!

Its funny how people forget everytime that Jaehoon had one of the best PL records of the last 2 rounds of PL, anyway looks good. I assume Jaehoon got it due to his veteran status too, team 8 hwaiting!.
|
It makes sense to captain Jaehoon since he's a good friend of Jaedong, and he can serve as a strong link between the teams.
|
|
|
Good choice and i think it was somewhat obvious also!

Well, I was wrong, so thanks for the correction
Jaehoon is definitely on the rise and I'm expecting great things from him and Tyson. I'd be really happy if JD is the worst player on the team when it comes to PL, haha!

Jaedong seems too introverted for a captain, and Sea would just point at random guys and giggle while telling them to work harder. I think this is the right choice.
|
Most logical choice and nothnig surprising here, i expected Jaehoon to be the captain anyway.
I'm looking forward and expecting great things from team 8 ^ ^

To those who aren't familiar with sports, team captain and team best player have nothing to do with each other. They could be the same person, but the criteria's completely different for both.

When it comes to non-televised games, Jaehoon's very good. He knows his stuff as well as anyone. He sweats buckets in the booth and have lots of trouble dealing with pressure. But that doesn't take away from the fact that in a team setting, he can bring a lot to the table.
And we definitely need to see more Jaehoon's arbiter play. He's already recalled his army two spaces to the right. He's also recalled one single observer. He's already lots gazillion arbiters to turrets. He needs to invent more ways to fail recalls.

Jaehoon hwaiting~!

In the past, because of his lack of confidence, he tried things like dyeing his hair, ear studs, spectacles etc. He doesn't need those now.

Really happy for him. Jaehoon hwaiting!

well, gratz Jaehoon. Hwaiting,, TEAM 8 GL

Who needs a Kraken? Just gotta release The Hoon.

The LG/Hyundai/whatever sponsor they can find Enigmas.
Go Jaehoon.

Great pick for captain of the team. This is an awesome opportunity for Jaehoon.
Team KESPA fighting!!

I don't know what you're talking about. Clearly our Captain, the mighty Hyuk, was chosen because he's the best player on SKT.
+ Show Spoiler +I almost managed to finish typing that sentence with a straight face.
Anyway, congrats to Jaehoon! Be a good leader and hyung, okay?

Don't think so. They've been friends for many years. Besides which Jaehoon is a few months older.

They were clanmates in n.die_ I believe, so there probably already is a bromance...

The carrier game, so gewd.

Jaehoon is captain because he's the oldest plain and simple. Best choice imo.
|
Im an avid SC2 player, but to see a team like this unfold this late into BW's life is heartwarming. Keep it up BW folks.

Why can't PL .. come .. NAO!~~ QQ

This will hopefully boost his confidence and be a better player
|
It's great to read Broodwar news, thanks!
|
Yeah go jaehoon step it up in the game and with your team.
Can't wait to see how you shape team 8's future.
|
All the hoons down in hoonville slept in their beds, while visions of donglings danced in their heads.
|
Jaehoon was 23-12 in Proleague last year, making him one of the top ten players of the entire season. Deserves all the respect in the world for his play and coaching ability. Good luck to him and Team 8!
|
This team is getting more and more hyped up, it's gonna be fucking sick when season hits.
8 MORE DAYS, FUCK YES

I know you're trying to be well intentioned, but seriously shut up. "Late in BW's life" + condescending tone... Respect your elders, son  No one would like to be told 'wow it's really nice that you're running a marathon this late in your life' especially when they are only 22  BW has a long life ahead of it yet.
|
Jaehoon ftw
|
life without proleague is so dead ..............
|
I thought it started again on the 13th. I don't see it on the calendar (or i cant see through all the shitty sc2 events)

jaehoonnn fighting omg. i can't elieve jaehoon is captain and doing so wel. hahah i love him now.
|
Jaehooooon :3
Good decision imo, he's gone through a lot.
|
JAEHOOONNNNNN!!!!! <3 <3 <3 It's so great watching a player who has been constantly ridiculed rise up and shine ^_^
|
It's good he did well last season because there is no way on earth he would have joined the 8th team with the results he had before that. Gotta love Jaehoon; I hope he keeps kicking ass.
|
The reasoning kind of makes sense for him being captain... but he's still Jaehoon. I don't see this being successful :/. By all means I hope I'm wrong though.
