Let me guess, you were not around when Flash was called "Child Labor Terran".
What lots of SC2 people fail to understand is how much Flash had to work to reach his status.

I'm not what you consider "SC2" people - maybe I wasn't around when sAviOr was beating people left and right, but I was around when Jaedong was fearsome Tyrant and Flash was yet to reach his level of play. I'm not discussing Flash's status - how possibly could you extract that kind of sentiment from my original statement is beyond me - but rather pure skill at the moment.

Gosh I love Baby, KT really has a strong Terran lineup
|
suck for JinAir SC2 but happy for baby for getting paid! good luck!

I'm glad this guy gets more exposure. I remember baby showcasing some great play at the end of wol and it came back to me like yesterday and made me wonder why I haven't heard anything from him since then.

All this BaBy talk. I was tired of it back in BW. The kid has never truly lived up to the hype, ok? This pick-up by KT is lukewarm for me. We used to praise the guy all the time back in BW and he did well but he never really broke out back then and he hasn't really done anything noteworthy yet in SC2. With that said he's a solid performer, but considering teams are cutting their rosters down to the bare bones? I don't know. Long gone are the days where you sign a few big stars and then surround them with guys like BaBy. KT wanted another Terran so they got another Terran good for them, but in all honesty if the rosters were staying the same size I don't like KT's chances anymore than I did when the last PL season started. That's the truth and I'm sticking to it.

Glad to see Flash has a decent Terran teammate now. Hasn't had one since ForGG retired in the BW days. Mind isn't as good in SC2.

Hm, quite the surprising pickup. Very good for KT obviously, but it makes me wonder how T8/GreenWings intends to reinforce its roster. It wasn't a strong team before, and now robbed of their best Terran...hmmmm...won't improve their chances. I hope they intend to pick up some more good players, preferably fresh blood from ESF teams who actually want to play the game and don't keep moaning about their former glory.

YESSSSSSSSSSS BABY! KTROLSTER BABYYYYYYYYY! wish ktrolster was still ktfingerbang it'd sound funnier... Kt Fingerbang Baby

Calling Flash a "cherry on a cake" player is very unfair. Until the time Stats and Violet stepped up and backed up Flash, the KT was a liability to Flash. He was known for being probably the most overworked player in KeSPA. Having to practice for two Proleague games per match, plus OSL and MSL, Flash was hardly sitting comfortably on top of a team able to support him.

Good news for KT. I always liked Baby play, hope he can do well in individual and team league.
