"I guess it's another challenge" - Kingdom
Wow its been a while since I did news for Teamliquid, but seeing how Kona is at a BBQ with his family I guess I can take this for now.
Kingdom, the Devil Toss has announced today that he will be taking 
TheMarine's place and become the new OGN commentator. His first debut will happen during the WCG Korea Prelims. The WCG Korea Prelims will start around August incase you didn't know.I want to say I am fucking pumped up. Kingdom is badass, if you say otherwise you are gay, end of story.

- What made you finalize your decision to be a Commentator?
▲ I wanted to new challenge. Every since I saw my friends commentating all I thought of it was "wow that is extremely hard." But even though it looked like a very difficult job I kind of wanted to attempt it. Also ever since I was young it was tough being a progamer but ever since SKT sponsored us my life got alot better. However this feeling of relaxation is actually much more nerve wrecking because I keep getting this feeling of me drifting away.
- What did people say when you made your decision?
▲ To you the truth, I told absolutely no one. My parents just knew about it couple days ago. My family all said they were wishing me good luck and said I would be perfect for canidate for a commentator which is getting me pressured (laughs).
- First a player, then a coach and now this is your 2nd challenge.
▲ To be honest I'm very frightened. The shift from player to coach is a very simple transition but this is a whole new job. I am so afraid that I might blank out during a live game and so because compared to the current commentators I lack skills. However I will try my best just like I tried my best as a progamer.
- What style of shoutcasting do you prefer?
▲ Well the great TheMarine is right in front of me so I'm getting so much pressure. Before going to the army TheMarine was unarguably one of the greatest commentator ever to lay foot on the stadium so I have to try hard. I will try my best to be more than a simple shadow of a great man.
- What do you think is the pros as a commentator
▲ While a coach can only concentrate on the games for his/her own players, a commentator can concentrate on the games for the people.
- Your first debut will be on the WCG Korean Prelims, what will you do until then?
▲ I think I am going to take a small break. Organize my surroundings and take some alone time. I will start my commentator training starting July. I am getting help from many other commentators so I believe I can do well.
- Last words for your fans
▲ Starting at the age of 19, I have been a player for 8 years and a coach for 18 months. Nobody what situation I was at, I want to thank my fans who were always behind me, cheering for me. I want to say if I turn out to be bad at commentating I want you guys to feel free to 'critisize' me in every way possible and I will do my best and strive to be the best.
Funfacts
[][] For the people who don't know, TheMarine was voted first place all the time for "Best Commentators" on many online polls. Kingdom has some very very big shoes to fill.
[][] Kingdom has been preparing this for a while, and as soon as his contract ended (June 15th) he immediately went into negotiations with the OGN channel.
[][] Did you know rA said he would commentate for only a while then return to KTF? Too late now because rA just turned into MBCgame's mascot lol.
[][] Many korean SKT fans are very worried of what will happen to Best and Bisu, because Best and Bisu has thanked and praised the brilliance of Kingdom's strategies many many times.
