[B]When the boy was drafted, like all SKT players, he was inspected.

If he had been slow, or imprecise, or indecisive, or incapable… he would have been discarded.

From the moment he could form a claw and grip the mouse, he was baptised in the fire of combat. Taught never to retreat, never to surrender. Taught that death on the battlefield, in the service of SKT, was the greatest glory he could achieve in his life.

Manufactured by twelve years of Brood War development, to create the finest player the world has ever known, will ever know. Courage, as it’s called, forced the boy to fight, the team house starved him, forced him to steal… and, if necessary, to kill.

Lashed by storm and siege, the boy was taught to show no pain, no mercy.

In his dreams, he has seen it already; Flash begins to circle the boy. Fingers like lightning, mind impenetrable, and eyes like two jewels from the pit of hell itself. An inhuman tic as he weighs the player before him.

CJ and KHAN have already fallen under the crush of KT’s implacable advance. SKT is all that stands in its way.
-- SirJolt


He actually won 2 MSLs before being drafted to SKT1.

I don't see it as an intensive selection process to get him into the team..

SKT1 needed Bisu because its protoss line was no longer performing (i.e., kingdom/rainbow).

That's all there is to it really.

To go with the theme,

This is MADNESS!
MSL, 2003-2011, RIP. OSL, 2000-2012, RIP. Proleague, 2003-2012, RIP. And then there was none... Even good things must come to an end.

I must watch this live.
Epic is too small a word.
KT, I believe.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

KT, what else.

Normally I liquibet on SKT every time, just not in the finals. This has paid off greatly .. but now that they are only in the finals, what do I do ??

Where is the 1000 page epic about how the Mantoss will destroy everyone one last time before retiring?

I am mostly an SC2 fan but I have to say this write up is pretty sick I will definitely tune in for this if it's not at the same time as IPL4.

I hope Flash writes one of the last chapters of BW history in this final ^^
