Well, I've been amused by Koreans' proud display of Engrish, which apparently matches Japanese Engrish in that-sounds-so-wrong-ness. While I was watching some matches on OGNlive earlier this week, I watched some commercials, too. I'll just string them together, they even make sense that way in reply to the name change, believe me.

"Wanna cool?" "Try different."

the N part of MagicNs comes from the now defunct (?) KTF N Network on the Korean Cell Phone network (all KTF teams had Magic in them, for example, the basketball team were known as the MagicWings (I think) ).

I guess the name change comes from changing from KTF -> KT.

First, KT gets Bunkie. Then they change Magicns to Finger Boom!?

What the hell? Finger boom, really? I can't take that name seriously. It sounds like they just had 5 kids brainstorm as much names as possible.

_____ Coach: "Ok you guys, we're playing KT Finger Boom next"
_____ Players: "wtf lol"

Op might want to add this

"KT" is now "KT olleh"

KT’s new corporate identity is “Olleh” which is hello spelled backward. It was devised to symbolize the company’s goal of innovation and dedication to thinking outside the box.

“We have been looking for a fresh initiative for our new, united KT and the result is Olleh,” said Lee Suk-chae, chairman and chief executive officer of KT, yesterday.


Seems like the entire company is having naming issues.

What the fuck.

NETIZEN COMMENTS!
- What?
- KT Finger Boom -_-
- KT Finger Booms sounds nicer
- Wow~ not.
- Disgustingly old-fashioned.
- Seems childish ;;
- 3 teams now using red uniforms (KT, Hwaseung and SKT1)
- Are they going nuts this year?
- Refreshing.
- FINGER BOOM? YOU WANNA FIGHT?
- What kind of retarded name is this
- Omg.. this is not it....
- FINGER KE BOOM KE FINGER KE BOOM KE FINGER KE BOOM KE FINGER KE BOOM KE FINGER KE BOOM KE FINGER KE BOOM KE FINGER KE BOOM KE
- KT executives have lost their sanity
- Don't know who's in charge but I'm really disappointed
- Ah.. I'm embarrassed.. change it back to Magic Ns
- Old-fashioned ;;
- What the fuck is Finger Boom? How about KT Hyenas instead?
- Ping gae + Geoh poom (Blaming + Failure) daebak!
- Will they call themselves Ping Boom now?
- Wtf is Finger Boom... sounds retarded
- "Hi, I am KT Finger Boom's Lee Young Ho."
- As expected, KT's enemies are within -_-
- If you take out one symbol it becomes Figure Boom kekekekeke
- STOP CHANGING THE TEAM NAME! 10 YEARS YOU HAVE BEEN USING THIS NAME AND YOU JUST CHANGE IT OVERNIGHT? AND START WORRYING ABOUT YOUR PLAYERS MORE THAN YOUR TEAM NAME. PARK-CHAN-HO LINE CAN'T EVEN MAKE IT INTO THE ROUND OF 8 OF BOTH OSL AND MSL. IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? (TN: Park-chan-ho line refers to ForGG-Luxury-Flash lineup)
- Are you fucking with me?
- End of Flash
