People are still going through courage and still going up the ranks, we got people like sHy finally getting to A-team now.

Really disappointing news, i never understood why SKT1 barely played him, but as pointed out Woonjin was where things turned around. Shame, he was unique. The chart from the first page is cool, dunno if it was intentional but having swearing in it is funny after the incident where he had to apologize for it.

Least we have neo-kwanro Shine still around, but where is he these days? Don't remember him coming out as much now.

Look at Afreeca streams. Its 90% BW. The koreans are still nuts about the game, other games including sc2 are much less present in the grass-roots level web streaming scene.
Aah thats the stuff..

Kwanro is so awesome. Shame on you SKT! He might have saved the reputation of SKT Zergs had they not stopped sending him!!

Seriously, I loved Kwanro's games. Even if some of them are just lulz, when he wins it's always a happy time in the LR thread. I hoped he would have all-in'd one last time before retiring, that would have been cool. Anyways, I hope you have a bright future ahead of you, Kwanro. We'll definitely miss your KWANROLLING.

wat

Noooo...kwanroooo...

Taken aback by this, really thought his absence was more 'special training' transferring to the new macro style he displayed in his few PL games for SKT. SKBisu dismantles another zerg..

I havent made the Sc2 jump myself yet, but i know i will in 2 or 3months from now. The youngsters are playing the newer games, its just bound to happen. That`s life. Teams wont be able to recrute recruits that easily anymore, and it shows already. The newer guys arent that amazing anymore. I`ve been playing Sc since `97, its not like im happy that this is happening but like i said already, its life.

I hope Kwanro plays Sc2, maybe the training methods of BW arent for him anymore, maybe he needs a relaxed kind of ambiance that Pro Bw teams arent provinding. Thanks for the great moments you gave us Kwanro, we`ll never forget them.
Real mens play Zerg.. Startale fighting.

SKT has no idea how to handle zerg players. It's a black hole for the race. Zergs are probably reduced to making coffee runs, or lining up to die to Bisu in practice to boost his confidence.

Kwanro was awesome: Avalon MSL Finalist, NATE MSL Semifinalist, and all around badass.

Shame on the haters. Shame on SKT for driving him away with whatever their "methods" are.

There's something very worrisome about SKT1 imo.

They seem to think that they need a good zerg on their team but everytime they try to buy one, they are unable to nurture the talent and make it grow. July for example went into the longest slump after he was purchased by skt1, but then he miraculously wins an OSL the very season he leaves.

My two cents, SKT1 needs to learn how to nurture zergs, not just terrans and protoss.
