Air Force ACE (ACE is short for Airforce Challenge e-Sports) is an e-Sport club formed sometime when BoxeR was about to commence his military service (End of 2006). The government, seeing how popular e-Sports is, and considering that mandatory miltiary services force progamers to an early retirement, took up the initiative to invest money into a program for progamers to still play their beloved game, but doing their military service at the same time, thus Air Force ACE was born.
Is ACE any different to any other e-Sport clubs i.e KTF? All progamers in ACE are allowed to compete in both individual and team events, but prize money earned by the progamer goes to the team, and not him/herself. As BoxeR of ACE has said, the focus of ACE is to develop a succesful team who can keep up with the current teams in the proleague. Individual success is only a bonus.

Only a Mycube thread can be featured... nice try though poser

i can't believe hot is the captain >.< did he get the position because he was there first?
|
even if H O T is captain (for age reasons probably), I bet the team is lead by boxer anyhow.

probably been in service longer, or he's the oldest in the entire team.

Plus, I doubt there's any perks to being the captain, and just a few added responsibilities. Like attending the (boring) proleague opening ceremonies and stuff.

i just realised their only 1v1 player with a winning record is mumyung..

Yeah Mumyung beat Yellow 3-0 in the final of the first MBC Kings of Kings.
Yellow won the second MBC Kings of Kings though against Boxer, he also won the second OGN Kings of Kings against Gundam.
Grrrrr won the first OGN Kings of Kings 3-2 against TheBoy(the one he randomed and lost first two, then picked Protoss the next three and won them all).
|
Actually it wasnt called MBC Kings of Kings it was called KPGA Winners Championship 
The OGN one was called Kings of Kings though.
Both basically the same thing though, much like the Shinhan masters played recently. Top finishers of the OSL/KPGA tour playing in it.

Hrm, the last two matches Air Force only sent 5 players! Boxer/HOT/Rage/Clon/Sunny! Where are the rest? Grounded? Focusing on real military training?
Plus Boxer mentioned in his past interview he'd rather not play 2 games a day (because teammates get in less games, less practise or implying weak teammates) - but if they're only sending 5 players, it's most likely that he'll have to play 2 games each time they have an ACE match.

The military probably wants to keep as many people inside the [campus/training ground/barracks/gateways/hatchery/etc.] as possible, so naturally, they are only bringing the ones that will play.

Yes, I think so too. But why I was bringing this up is if you watch previous games with Air Force ACE, they had a large number of people at each game, just like any other team. It's only just now that they stopped bringing them.
Sidenote: If this trend continues, other teams will know exactly how to practise for the ACE match - vs Boxer. As if they need yet another advantage to beat the weakest team in Proleague.

Hopefully OverSky will bring some spunk to the team.
