He has a fantastic lategame but a pretty lacking earlygame as far as I remember. He hasn't done much extraordinary yet (his main feats thus far is getting to the Ro8 in the last OSL and then getting roflstomped by Jaedong, and almost beating Flash once in an epic game), but he has shown a lot of potential.

Action has potential, and played a pretty epic game against Flash in a KT-eSTRO ace match. His lategame ZvT defiler use is his high point, as seen in that game. He isn't so great at the other matchups yet, but he made it all the way to the OSL quarterfinals this year, which was equal to Zero's performance and only beaten by Jaedong.

Mostly people are comparing Action to SKT's acquisition of Kwanro. Kwanro doesn't really have "potential", per se; he's kind of got his all-in thing, and the rest is sacrificing ultras to mines. Action has shown that he has the ability to go beyond that.

Free/ZerO/Really/Soulkey or Flying...
quite a scary lineup WJ has now, except for Flash-imbaness I don't really see any stronger team right now.
In fact if they had anyone to beat Flash in Ace, I would favor them even over KT.
Yes, even with action.
Free,Zero,Really > anyone in KT but Flash when it comes to overall skill.

Action to KT? Ughhh. I was hoping that the disbandment of estro would result in some better balanced teams, but I guess that's not happening.

At least Really to Woongjin isn't too bad in that respect.

WOOOooooooooooooOTTTTT, Action to KT? ;:D:D:D:D::D How epic is that? KT is totally winning the PL this season as well if they can refine Action and make him reach his full potential. Finally they have a strong Zerg. I would pay some serious money to get a reppack with practise games between Flash and Action. ^__^

I really wanted Really to go to Samsung though. They desperately need a solid T.

And ya, Woongjin are looking pretty stacked. In the trio Really/Zero/Free they have one A-class player from each race.

Wow, this was exactly how the reporter on DES predicted yesterday, Really to Woongjin, Classic to STX and Action to KT.

Players look happy in the picture though. I'm glad everyone now has a team including the dude that estro picked in the last rookie draft.

Lol Samsung Khan once again being cheapo and not willing to fork out the cash for really or classic.

If Really and Flying can adapt to their new team well, then Woongjin has a damn good lineup. I'm quite sure they'll make the playoffs.

Yeah I'll also chime in and say thay Woojin is lookin' hella sweet now with the zero/really/free combo. I also think soulkey has some potential. While I don't think KT acquiring action is over the top, I would really have liked to see him go to Khan instead. Khan really doesn't look good at all in the face of the mergers and drafts.

In any case, this is going to make for a really competitive proleague season. Perhaps one of the best yet.

Haha, SKT must be wishing they didn't spend that dough on Kwanro and waited for Action. As some has said, Kwanro's lategame is non-existent, he will never be able to rise to the top not being able to macro. Action on the other hand has the potential to be beast.
