Looks like there is rational explanation for this!

Someone needs to translate this.

Yeah, I'm so curious


I'm betting something like:

"Our fingers move with such frightening speed and finality that they create sonic booms."

I'm looking forward to hearing the announcers say "ahhhh KT Finger Boom" at some point. :B
Think. :)

Logo - The meaning of Team Logo
KT Progaming Team's new name - Finger Boom - comes from the 'boom' the players get (TN: upgrade/powerup whatever) as they write a new legend through the finger movements on their keyboards and mice.
Also, using olleh KT's color patterns, the matching colors and mouse design was used to further amplify the 'boom'.

What the fuck lol

This is pretty funny. I'm just going to say "KTF Boom" from now on though and that is actually pretty cool.

So the players get a boom because of finger movements? Colors to amplify the boom? Sounds like "Hey we're stuck with this terrible name. Let's get the third-graders to think of some explanations for it that almost make sense" kind of thing.

Wow, I just shat bricks... The name is ruined for me because all that comes to mind is that one South Park episode where Cartman shoves a cucumber down his pants.

Lol i thought the same thing!

Netizen's are right, they need to concentrate more on the players. They are taking too much time with the image of KT. And honestly finger boom? wtf?! Magic N's was much better.
