damnit. Lecaf was one of the easier names to say, now, like Woonjing, we will have no idea how to pronounce/spell/shorten down, a teams name. hurrah...


....or you could just say "the Stars" or "Oz"...

Also, it's Woongjin. Come on, man. And people have been shortening it "WJ" for months now.
stars and oz...yeah thats not incredibly gay, am I right? I havent seen anyone callin them WJ anyways.

They'll probably pronounce it Hway-sung, just like how they butcher Hwasin's ID.


Wow great post! instaed of clarifying how both are pronounced you just add to the mystery

So if I understand this correctly, Hwaseung is the larger corporation that owns Lecaf, and they want to get the most bang for their buck by having their team promote the whole brand, not just Lecaf?

They need to get a catchier name though. Hwaseung Progame Team doesn't have any ring to it. I could get used to it if they just call themselves Hwaseung OZ.

whatever they gotta do to survive is fine with me, thanks for keeping us up to date joohyunee

i have thought of late how hard it might be for SC progaming teams to survive what with south korea's economy getting trashed so hard as of late...


+1, I am just happy that it looks like Hwaseung still values their pro-team sponsorship as an advertising tool. Oz's future looks pretty secure, all things considered.

I just read in the Economist that South Korea's economy shrunk by over 5% in 4Q2008...that's ridiculous. Hang tight, Korea!

According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

Can you please let me know how to correctly pronounce both of these (Hwaseung, Hwasin)?

Edit: and note that you probably could have devoted your post to remedying these pronunciation problems, rather than just berating people for them.


hwasin is pronounced 'hwah-shin'
hwaseung is pronounced 'hwah-sung' (like someone already mentioned, 'sung' isn't quite accurate but english doesn't have a better way of representing the actual sound)
