some Leta tidbits:
+ Show Spoiler +
1. Leta going to T1
Horang2: When rumors of Leta going to SKT1 was floating around, he was supposed to be transferring.
Leta wanted to win trophies and wanted to go to T1.
However, after a meeting with Sparkyz upper management, he told us that he will be remaining with Sparkyz
I've heard this long time after, but turns out the upper management told him if Leta went to T1, Sparkyz might disband
hearing that, he decided to remain

2. Leta and chores
Horang2: In Sparkyz team, the 1st teamers would demand the newcomers or practice team members to do misc chores and tasks.
But Leta, who was not only 1st team, but our ace player didn't instruct us at all.
Leta would just tell us "Why would I ask you guys when I have hands as well?"

3. Leta and c-teamers
Britney: bro, honestly, most Sparkyz members didn't even consider c-teamers like me a person at all
Leta: yea they did
Britney: But how come you treated us nicely?
Leta: Do you really need a reason to treat someone well?

4. Leta raising his fist
There was only 1 time where Leta raised his fist in Sparkyz team, and that was when go.go. made a c-teamer eat bread from the pavement

Leta is a beautiful butterfly who must be protected at all costs!!

I always loved watching Leta. Nice to know that he's not an asshole like so many other pros.

I loved Leta as a progamer because of his Wraith builds. Good to know he was cool with the other guys as well.

Why am I not surprised that its go.go

Tbh despite the matching fixing scandal I did not expect it to be go.go.

Thanks for translating and adding the tidbits. Leta definitely got extra respect points. At one point he was so freaking good with 2 port it would just feel unfair if he used it. I remember there was for some map testing or MBC showmatch thingie and some people got mad that he played his try-hard 2 port build instead of playing "standard".

When I watch your videos I always feel like I have to read super fast to not miss anything. Is it only me?

Wow, I just became a Leta fan. Always appreciate these translations as they end up adding so much more "narrative" to the game/scene!

The subtitles are fast as expected because they talk fast. I just pause at every sentence and don't think it's that big of a deal. Huge thanks for the translations, these insights are a delight!

You can click the gear icon at the bottom right and set speed to 0.75 (or even 0.5), then you don't have to pause

Thanks so much jinjin! Very fascinating. I always felt so much for the B and C-teamers that spent so many months (even years) practicing and never getting to qualify for OSL/MSL or get to make a proleague line-up. It was just so damn competitive in the kespa era. Very nice to see that the struggle has created great lasting friendships with some of the sparkyz crew though.

Thanks for these! Are there any series like the kpop star that tried becoming a pro or Nal_ra's old boy. I am craving content like that
