HAHAHA That's pretty good. I was gonna say its like Tsung (the mortal kombat character) but replace the "u" w/ an "o" In either case, will you guys be pronoucing this aloud often??  | ||

They'll probably pronounce it Hway-sung, just like how they butcher Hwasin's ID. On January 30 2009 06:13 Dazed_Spy wrote: 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...
