its supposed to be 'hello' backwards which is really really really dumb/stupid/confusing and it sounds bad too! although fingerboom was more embarassing, it definitely had more potentially than olleh
can't they just ask a competent english speaker for an idea and get a half decent one after like 2 minutes of thinking?

Olleh isn't just the team's name -- it's actually the name of their sponsor company. According to http://www.koreaninsight.com/2009/07/did-you-say-olleh/ , KT just adopted a new corporate identity and logo. (A pretty lame one if you ask me)

So the eSports team could have easily been named Olleh KT FingerBoom, lol.

I almost changed my icon to KT in support of the Finger Boom name change. Way to kill a potential fan, KT.

This team is doomed. With crappy name and crappy [current] reputation, I doubt any free agents would rather play there.

they might have changed their name to olleh KT, but I'm always going to call them KT Fingerboom

in Korea. KTF was the phoen factory (like SK Telecom), and KT is the major company. with internet etc....). KT bought KTF before so KTF isn;t anymore. I remember on my phone when KTF disappeared... and KT appears ahah. Then olleh KT is a new thing. I don't exactly whi though.

Awesome, now they have two awful names...

Don't worry KT fans, I felt your pain when I saw the new STX uniforms. :/

Got used to them eventually, but I still prefer the gas station ones.
