I don't know, according to TLPD he played in WCS just 4 days ago. Maybe he retired when Azubu went down or something, I have no idea. But there is no other known Terran named 김영진.

They were listed in the first announcement post, but no mention of them in this one. There's still three empty positions but I doubt they will be in it, because then there would be no point to remove them from the player pool.
So apparently Brave is the only mid laner on Najin Shield, who just played in the Ro8 of the OGN LoL league. Makes it sound like he's either not going to be playing in this SRT, or he's going to bomb out hard. Najin still has to play in NLB, which is the drop down league. I'd be surprised if they let him practice BW.
Also wut SuperNova :o
Looking forward to see who the three last spots belong to. Kinda expecting a couple more changes.

Well KAG I suppose doing a quick check leaguepedia and some mental gymnastics Najin Shield has zero way to make the world finals or the playoffs. Save (Their top laner) was mid before brave joined and one of their two subs is a top laner I suppose if brave pulled enough strings he could convince them to let him play BW for a bit until next season for OGN while save and the sub cover mid/top. But a seed for next season is on the line for NLB and I really don't think najin is going to allow him to slack off like that.

As much hype as they might bring they'd probably just get smashed. Might be better that they weren't in it. Although I wish leta was in this announcement.
Looks very interesting, especially the group D. I wonder whether Sea will dominate again this time. And I really like these old school maps, I got to BW way after they were used and they make the games quite interesting .

Brave's PvZ was legit back in 2010-11 and he had one of the lowest apm's in the league, 250~ if I remember correctly. Hopefully this means he can get back in form faster. I hope he practices enough and gives Killer a proper challenge. And poor Scan getting placed in this group along with Movie.

Invites. I'm pretty sure popularity on Afreeca is important when Sonic picks who gets to play, and StarCue is a pretty damn popular and entertaining streamer.

I would not think it's him until we get any kind of information outside a name
It has to be someone famous though. To randomly get invited into an SRT without any prior games in the SOSPA scene doesn't happen unless you're super gosu or famous.
The line-up was pretty interesting, but the recent changes are sick ! I want to see Scan get crushed. Also Fengzi does not have a very tough group, he can make it !
Any info about the format ? It changes almost every tournament.
Weird to see Supernova considering he's still in WCS Premier League, barely missing the global season finals by one game. I don't think he'll do too well considering how much he has been playing sc2 recently, but it's fun seeing his name. I don't think he'll retire since most players don't retire until they drop to Code B or face some other serious health/family/financial problem or is Stephano.

Scan is a Korean American who often plays in Chinese leagues, he was banned from Teamliquid for cheating in tournaments I believe. He plays Terran, and was one of the few people who could beat Sziky in Defiler tours if I understand correctly.
Some guy called Secret.vOv named 김영진 playing T in Jan 2012. All-killed in some clan league. Never seen after that. Only thing I could find. Really strange for him to be in.

Recently that rule hasn't been used. Last SRT when two amateurs faced each other there was no FPV on snipealot2, because none of them were streaming.

Odd, but I'm guessing that having Terror playing is only good for the viewer numbers. Dude's got a lot of fans.
A good way to find info on an unknown is to put '아마추어' (amateur) in front of the name and to use naver.com instead of google. So searching naver for 아마추어 김영진 I think is the best way.

Yeah and Afreeca, fish, fishbattle, daum, tvdepot, etc.

how so? I may not be as up to date with players in BW as most on this forum but I can recognize a decent portion of the players(or at least heard their names). It might not indicate that they aren't amateurs but I figure amateurs won't be playing in PL or in the later stages of the OSL/MSL due to there being much better players and that's how I know most of the names.
Wait.. StarCue is "headset guy"? The guy who played Tossgirl, when the commentators couldn't stop laughing. Look at his profile picture. I can't find that video, darn it....
Nice to see hero and beast back in. You can never have enough zerg imo
Have you watched TLS?
I was going to reply with a big TLS banner
lol of course. TLS and TLS2. Sziky won both. I just think TvZ and PvZ are the two best matchups in BW so as long as there isn't a ton of zerg but just enough, we'll get those matchups That and without Killer last SRT, it felt like no zerg stood a chance against Sea.
Oh men, I wanted to post that SuperNova is not the real one, I found that in his twitter, but whatever still I'am going to post what he posted in his twitter: "what is SRT? I don't play broodwar tournament. I don't know who he is. (other supernova) ~_~"

check the previous page(or maybe 2). You've been beaten to it lol
what's wrong with scheduling changes if Sky can't make the specified date? It's still a protoss change after all. Cmon guys, I'm sure he has his reasons for changing.

The reason everyone hates him is because this happens all the time and he has done other not so very nice things.

sorry, not sure what the other not nice things are. Do you mind elaborating? If it's not something that we should openly talk about, can you pm me the details then? thanks!
Disappointing news. BeSt is no longer available to play in this SRT for unknown reasons. He has been replaced by the 2nd best ranked Protoss in China (according to Sonic); Zhanhun
...............O_o com'on T_T damn it i wanted best to show some awesomeness, i wonder if he feels unconfident in his current play, i hope hes coming back with some well practice!!! <3 good luck best
so disappointing. I was looking forward to my matches then saw the change in the LR thread and was confused and wondered if I messed up my dates or so ><
EPT
BeSt gets replaced by 
Mong switch with 
hero replaces 
김영진 is still unknown at this point and confirmed not
