Basically, what the title says. What happened to KBK?

Also, where can I find some KBK maps.

Knights bridging korea,
the goal was to get as many fake wins as possible on the online ladder and then you got a free ticket to the finals in korea.

A ladder that culminated in an offline tournament in korea for the top X.

The last one held was in uh..... 2003? 2004? KBK Jeju anyway, and a bunch of non-koreans were supposed to go (daaman, willet, whiz I think...? but some complications came up and some of the non-koreans currently there ended up going, not sure who.. was it Assem/Elky/Leg or just Elky/Leg?).

Blah, I don't remember if all of the 3 people I mentioned qualified but at least 2 of them did I think!

The first 3 were like..

TheMarine beating some guy,
Slayer (the norweigan) beating i.love.star
TheMarine beating slayer (or maybe he didn't beat slayer in the finals but he beat him sometime during KBK I'm almost certain).

Rainbow won the 4th kbk btw in 2003.

Themarine beat the same guy that Slayer beat in the first KBK in the final.

Sonjjang was 2nd in the 3rd KBK that TheMarine won. Elky 3rd and Sir@Soni 4th.

I THINK Rainbow beat Boxer in the final of the 4th but Im not sure.

Some searching helps

I wasn't around for the first 3, but in the 4th one you didn't no.

Although they had this annoying bug so that non-koreans couldn't register for a really long time IIRC (I actually called their customer support like 3 times :D).

I think the first 3 were free as well btw.
