ACE has the past greats (though some are still damn good, i.e. Kal incoming) and no longer gets the TV time on their regular team. Now on ACE, fans get to see them again. Ruby and FBH both saw revivals though with FBH its hard to tell as we watch him for his entertainment value. | ||

They put them on Potato peeling duty since they are fast with there hands. The army is all about breaking down your ego and all of your habits building you up with there habits to become a soldier. I could see this now what are you qualifications I am really good at video games. The officer would give you the stink eye. LOL so true. Let's not forget that the SC2 (and e-sports in general) scene isn't super well known even in Korean mainstream society. The stereotype that all of South Korea plays StarCraft is so overblown. | ||
