Fixed this for you :p It's even more clear when you count the old team names (Orion, 4U) :p
At EVER 2004, there was a succession, and the SKT T1 family had a new head.
That picture was taken way, way later though. Not 100% certain on the date T1 changed their uniforms (and can't be bothered to search really), but they used the blue/white one until very late in '05 (Boxer was wearing one during the So1 final vs Anytime) and changed to red/white sometime after that
Too many of the newer players seems to have forgotten midas. He really deserve much more than what we're giving him right now.
Completely agreed here. He should have beaten Savior in Pringles in the Semifinals, but he choked right at game 4 in a game he should have won (see this for instance) and he did push savior all the way every time they clashed - 3-2 in Pringles, 2-1 in Shinhan. So close.. but just couldn't get that title
Easily one of my favorite TLFE, right up there with Plexa's Ilovedvictory. (See sig for bias)
I think the SKT terrans are one of the few branches of race/team combos that aren't afraid to show that they have a strong relationship to the open and it makes them undeniably strong. You fight one of them, you're fighting all of them, which stork said in incruit, was the most dangerous thing about Fantasy.
“Hyung, this little nooblet wants to use valkyries in TvZ. I keep telling him no, but he won't listen! Imma make him scrub toilets all weekend.” “Patient we must be, oov. A point he may have. Adjourn to the practice room, we will.”

Oh yeah, for sure. Just to be clear, most of the situations in the pictures are not historically accurate, and are just inserted to highlight a point or provide some lulz.
In response to questions regarding who created the Fantasy build - yes, Boxer used valkyries in GOM but that was with mnm iirc, and though oov is (sometimes?) co-credited with creating the vulture/valkyrie build, in the very least, Fantasy is the one who is given credit for its perfect execution. I'm not a big strategy guy, but I think that though oov certainly had some say in its creation, the Fantasy build is called just that for a reason.
Poor Canata not being mentioned at all in the article due to his lack of accomplistments haha. Anyone knows what's going on with Midas atm? He used to be my favourite back then, is he in B team now?
Well, that put me in a great mood. Work was boring, but the history lesson just made my night. Riptide, you did some excellent work there, keep it up dude.
