Along with (Z)Xian being hired as a coach (although that was already known for a while).

Some comments by January but I can't translate because my vocabulary sucks.

Now we can only hope we see the captain play the Ace matches int he playoffs.
I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff.

Grats Stork ^^
It actually seems pretty rare that a team's ace is also is captain. I suppose that's because the better players tend to be the younger ones, while the captain is the oldest. Which just makes Stork all the more amazing that he's both <3

Awesome, grats Dinotoss! ^__^

I hope this helps him focus better too. The captain can't be playing cellphone games all the time.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

Stork is my favorite player, about time he made captain. What happened to January?
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Grats to be him but I always thought they'd pick someone less skilled but more hard working to serve as an example lol

Not really sure what this means, unless you're referring to captains of a few years ago. Captains play a lot now - Midas, Leta, ZerO, Jaehoon, etc.

Coach January says that because the average skill level among other teams have risen, with events such as the addition of team8, Khan has focused on bolstering its lineup as well, and that they will repay their fans' support with better results next season.

YAY CAPTAIN STORK!!!
---------------------------------
The article roughly translates to...

KHAN finished their preparation for the new season with change in coching staff and players.

To fill in Coach Yoo Ji Gang shoes, KHAN hired Coach Xian, who was the zerg coach for oz before. Coach Yoo left due to personal reasons.

Odin has now become a playing coach. KHAN's zerg line has been considered weak since the departure of great; however, it has been rumored that odin has been training hard zergs during the off seaon.

Along with the coaching staff, KHAN also looked to improve their roster. They improved their zerg line by picking up roro and shine. Also, they appointed stork as captain, since odin now has become a playing coach.

January said "We have finished our preparation for the new season. Along with the formation of the 8th team, every team has gotten better, so we put in efforts to improve our team as well and with a better record this upcoming season, we'll thank our fans for their love and support."
