If anyone hasn't noticed yet. The first official game they played under the new KT name was today against MBC. This is because of the merger of KTF into KT. They made the official change on the first of June.

The announcement/unveiling of the new 'team image' (IIRC it was KT Blitz?) will be sometime in the future.

Going to be super weird calling them KT now instead of KTF.

sounds fucking lame but whatever

i remember when "wemade fox" was "pantech EX" which was like the most badass name ever.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

I think that it sucks that they'll be the only 2 letter abbreviation team. I liked the three letter scheme, but I guess the sponsors get what they want.

Well the change isn't as radical as Lecaf to Hwaseung or OGN to Hite. I don't mind it that much, but it'll take some time getting used to taking off the F.

Apparently they're starting to get bored.

I'm a programmer and whenever I'm bored I just bulldoze the crap out of any program I've made before and start it all over again.

That is a really bad thing to do because you're literally dumping all of those hours of work and bugfixing. But still we do it because we think of the old code as rusty, sloppy, and all crammed up. Which is not true, it's not like code expires or something.

I can see them changing their name from KTF to KT because of the need of trying something different that will give them a "clean" start, but they forget they're dumping all the things they've accomplished under that old name, and in the end, it loses its beauty.

I am on KT on my phone (like SK Telecom etc..). When KT appears on my phone, I wondered why, because KT is the internet in korea, the fastest internet (fiber). And yeah, KTF became KT for everything (phone + internet). So, given that proteam is under KT factory, the teams needed to change the name too. It's pretty normal.
