All of the best articles contain some Nal_rA (This, Only Until Midnight, most of the savior articles).

Thanks for this, Arrian. Means a lot. =)

Back in the days I used to be a KTF fan because of their protosses and mainly Reach, too bad they are a T/z team now with a chance for Violet in the future but too early to say if he can be consistent. (big T, small z indeed)

Wow, incredible history lesson on one of my fav teams (then again, hasn't everyone had a soft spot for the ktf of years past?). Loved every word of it, I had no idea there was so much going on behind the scene or been given a larger picture.

Thanks for the read. One thing that struck me is the high expectation placed on KT all the time. Of course this is good to do, you should expect things of the team you support, but I realized that KT now is always compared to the KT of the past, the 'glorious' one. This way of perception can lead to a stalled opinion of a performance which could fans otherwise make happy. I mean, now they perform good and there may be a lot of cheering, but why the day dreaming so soon, why not just take it for what it is. A good performance and one to build on top of instead of smashing it to bits and pieces with the mention of the "good old team"?
I just love video games, what's your excuse?

When you think of kt and skt1 one can think off huge rivalries that had a lot of famous players being in each team as kt had the line of players till now still resonates fear and awe to the hearts of the team . Lets get acquainted with the team that should have won it all with its raw talent such as Yellow ,Nalra ,Reach,Sync,Choejja and Goodfriend who are all starleague accomplish players .

[image loading]


Nal ra you will always be my hero


On the other hand skt 1 was heavily guarded with Boxer , Iloveoov ,Kingdom, Canata ,Gorush ,Midas and Intotherainbow all of these are players who will send people shivering in their boots if they were to send out to win them despite KTF having all the talent in hand their wish to win a finals was never granted although it may seem like they were destined to be second and never a winner .

[image loading]


What if KTF was given much more competent managers to do the job instead ? Could ktf won more games which we dearly reserved? Seems like kt is always going to be an underdog , cursed always to be full with talented players but some how It never find that click which is supposed to give them the momentum to ride in to the finish and get the job done .

However let’s take a look at the successor of both team


The good old kt when they wore the black uniform
[image loading]

The favourites
[image loading]



Finally an identity for KT ? with reference to the article wrote by Arrian “End of line “ who questioned the likeness of kt lost legacy due to the team losing it’s few greatness because of the current transformation of the team syphoning out all the old players and with the new it looks like the bloodline in kt has finally regenerated and are able to wash all the curses it had in it's veins .

KT continued the legacy with players like Luxury,Choejja,Forgg ,Violet and Flash however when the match fixing scandal and retirement of forgg it only took out the spirit of the team and with violet coming down with leukemia .This definitely looks like the end of kt rolsters chances in ever winning a proleague finals again .

All points suggest that Sk telecom 1 is about to win this proleague finals easily . With players such as bisu,jungladen,best and s2,soo with protoss rookies such as fun it looks it like it will be a one sided match when kt hit these finals proleague with such a mediocre team consisting of Action,Crazyhydra,Stats,Hoejja,Tempest,and Flash .


Despite all the depressing situation we had previously in tournaments KT stays true to the name KT ROLSTER because being a kt fan has been a roller coaster ride with all the up's and down we had during the whole proleague finals and so let's examine kt journey to the proleague finals it could be boiled down to three things 1)Momentum 2)Clutch players 3)We have the ultimate weapon on our side 5) For VIOLET !.

Let me introduce you the CLUTCH Players


[image loading]

[image loading]


KT zergs was the key for the team to move in to the finals with hoejja winning games again and Action finally showing what he's worth he became sort of a underrated player who if the condition was right he could have taken out the best player in the korean scene with his amazing late game and over all performance he is a player with that "POTENTIAL" but it just never seems to kick in when the situation requires to do so . However I won't keep him off the list of best player as soon as he gets that champion in him on to the box we could see him dominating .Overall perfective aka roro was the red herring in the team being undefeated in proleague for winning all his matches except the finals against the fantasy he's definitely a player that is worth keeping a tab on he could probably have that "POTENTIAL" too.

Though with all the praises given to hoejja,action and perfective it seems like crazy hydra transfer to the kt house hold wasn't really impressive , at times he seem disoriented ,wild and not reliable although at some games he looks as if he is going into a super saiyan mode like he did when he all killed before transfering out of woongjin . Probably it's too early for us to see CH actually going to perform as well as we expected him to do so . Overall to me he's still a player that if given time he could be found to be great in our matches we seem to be lacking in such as ZvZ .


You can't stop the CHINBOSS aka KIM DAE YOB(overhype,only good at versus zerg that's zero,soulkey)
[image loading]


Time after time again Stats the one who all killed skt1 in winnerleagues twice were called out as a one time wonder boy who only is capable of performing in winnerleagues although it seems to be pointing out that way however Stats time after time again show's that he is the solid foundation that holds the frame of KT House . Imagine knowing that you can rely on a player who is capable of coming out when the situation requires you to do so ? This is the man to go to.

Flash/God/Ultimate weapon


Nonetheless the greatest credibility of KT fire power is no other than Lee young Ho the sole and only terran player to dominate zero in a bo3 a hero for all kt fans but nonetheless he has his weakest moment he isn't a terminator but a player who have fight out with all his heart for his team and if the team doesn't do that you can expect moments like this where he get's broken down .

[image loading]


Finally flash after being ridicoulously called by other teams that the team he carried KTF which is abbreviation for being called as KT FLASH .It can be safely said that KT Rolster has finally matured and from being flash reliant to a team that finally can say to flash that " we don't want to rely on you to win our games anymore , we want to win it with you " . Although this wasn't seen in the finals but without hoejja and stats winning their games Kt would have never won this game to give flash a chance to seal the deal for us .

By the way flash you will always have my respect to you for being the baddest terran in the world as I saw the way you versus Best in the ace match that mech army push was really scary and being so fluid and dangerous it's definitely one of every protoss nightmare to have lee young ho marching down his tanks,vultures army towards your step door .


All these will not have made any difference if we didn't win the finals and give our fallen hero violet,reach,yellow and to all ktf players who never got their chance to win the proleague finals .You can rest assured we got the championship for you guys and you can be proud that your sucessor is worthy and competent .

We did it for you VIOLET !
