Keen is in TSL4 baby! Keen is in the Ro8 after overcoming Welmu in a dominant 3-0 performance in the Ro32 and clutching it out 3-2 against Vortix in the Ro16.
Who?
Keen - 황규석 , Hwang Kyu Seok former progamer KeeN_Lt of hite Entus currently on team MVP, who made the Ro16 of Code S this season.
Keen just qualified for TSL4, beatint KingKong, RagnaroK, HyuN, Polt, and Life in the finals. Game 3 vs Polt on Antiga Shipyard, and game 1 vs Life on Daybreak are highly recommended, you get to see Keen's gosu lategame play, with flawless mech vs Terran, and beautifully controlled bio vs Zerg.

sign me up! Also, can anyone indicate which sets/matches each of those ceremonies came from? I know the coke thing was vs. ZeNexCoca, but what about the other ones?
Sign me up. Keen has won my heart to the point where I'm rooting for him even against MVP tonight.

The Keen clap was from code A Ro32 against Choya
The Deal with it + sunglasses + shotgun to the face was from code A Ro16 against banbans/vanvanth
Did anyone get the gif of Keen during the MVP lineup card in the GSTL last night? He was doing a mock machine gun ceremony (the whole MVP team was pretty win as far as intros go). Definitely a worthy addition to the Keen repetoire.
I think this guy my dark horse pick for a spot in the finals. Not an easy road ahead of him of course, but there aren't many easy Code S runs available nowdays.
And please prepare ceremonies! Don't lose because you were preparing them though D=
I don't suppose anyone has a decent run down on what his build in g2 was like in terms of timings and transitions? Can't afford the spare cash for a GSL pass this season (TT) so can't check myself.
Next time Keen wins a game, in the up and downs, he should just ninja kick his way through the booth mirrors and do a dance, FBH style (except for the vandalization of property part)
Hell yeah Keen made SlayerS his bitch. It's wonderful how Keen is becoming more than just that guy who does ceremonies and is now a legitimately fearsome player.
I'm trying to pre empt the glory train (who am I kidding, I'm hopping on it) by predicting Keen to crush face in Code S. Sign me up, I've always loved his ceremonies, but now his gameplay has matched it, super impressive play.

As long as he doesn't get into a group of death that consists of Nada and another GSL champion not named MMA, he should crush
Since coming back from Providence, I believe Keen has gone a faintly absurd 19 - 2. Going flawless in Code A, all killing SlayerS in IPL TAC, destroying Reign while he's at it, and finishing off oGs in the KSL team leagues semi finals, Keen has beaten: MC, Jookto, Alicia, Ganzi, Inori, Spades, KiWiKaKi, Artist, Puzzle, Golden, MMA, HuK, Yugioh, Revival, and most importantly, NADA! The only games/series he has lost was against Sage, going 1 - 2 in the KSL Daily on December 1st 2011. Things are looking good for Code S...

The worst part is: This list in bold is as long as the members list if not longer.
I'm the OP of the fanclub now, I'm gonna do my best to keep it updated from now on. I'm a chobo at fancy cheerfuls and stuff, but if you have any I'll put them in the OP. Also, I just went through this thread and added 52 fans to the list, now it looks much more healthy! Post or PM me if I missed you out.
Aww man, nice try Keen. I missed game 1, but he looked great in game 2. Game 3 was a questionable choice imo, but he made the most of the hand he got dealt.
This dreamhack was his second major overseas comp after MLG providence yes? Keen always does ok, but never far enough =(
I want to say that this guy is fucking hilarious. He had to spend the night in my hotel room after Dreamhack due to the fact that the hotel MYM had booked for him was 40 min away, and if he went to that one he wouldn't get any sleep for his 12+ hour trip. So all of a sudden me, Vampire, Keen and MVP's EU manager were in a hotel room and joked til 04:00 am. Wonderful guy, keep on cheering him because he feeds off of the fans' energy!

Thank you for making the fanclub active after I failed to get enough time to be a good fanclub manager. Keen hwaiting!
Keen about to play in the finals of the last TSL4 qualifier, he needs to win this to get into the tournament. He just defeated Polt, playing some of the best Mech I've seen in a while, gogogo KEEN!
Added a couple of people and made a few small changes to the OP to hopefully make it look better, PM me or post here if you've got anything nice to add
Although KeeN didn't manage to advance to Code S, he finished 3rd place in his group to have a chance at playing in the Wild Card group depending if Gom decides to have one or not. Khaldor said we should hear in the next few days about if they are doing it. Currently the Wild Card Group consists of Lure, EffOrt, and KeeN. Hopefully they have it and we can see KeeN get to Code S. The more terran the merrier!
Oh, there are so many FP streams, my-my... I've been missing Keen streams a lot, his yt channel is a great find for me :D We really need to spread the word somehow, I believe there are many other terran players that would love to sub him on yt.
