Ken says he believes he has a "shot at winning EVO". Read the full interview here: http://www.ongamers.com/articles/ken-koreandj-confident-in-their-return-to-smash-with-team-liquid/1100-1068/ Excerpt: onGamers: What brings each of you back to Smash? Ken 'Ken' Hoang: The only thing that truly brings my back are Team Liquid and my fans. Of course also the competition since I'm a very competitive person. I think if any other team asked me to play Smash again I would have probably said no. I'm just a huge Team Liquid fan. I think KDJ and I will make a perfect fit to TL. Daniel 'KoreanDJ' Jung: I had been going through a hiatus with Smash for several years. Joining the team has awaken the competitive side within me that I haven't felt in such a long time. It really feels amazing to join a prestigious team. The momentum that Melee has been receiving over the past year is phenomenal. With EVO hosting a Melee tournament and the documentary featuring Melee's awesome community, I feel very motivated to return to the scene. Why come back now? How important was joining Liquid part of your return? Hoang: Liquid is one of the most important reasons I'm coming back. It's just ever since I was a kid I've been on Teamliquid watching Brood War ProLeague. I've been a fan of BW ever since it came out and StarCraft 2 in general. I'm just a big fan of esports in general. Some people like football, I just like watching StarCraft instead. So when Liquid came to me, if anything it felt like an honor being apart of Liquid. It actually feels amazing, I just hope I am able to perform well enough to not let them down. I'm just going to try my best. I feel like Liquid really isn't even a team, they've already treated me like family. They should just change their name to Family Liquid. Jung: I was planning on joining back to the Smash scene. When Team Liquid offered to pick up Smash and asked me to join their team, I instantly knew that was the time for me to return to Smash. What does it mean to you to be liquid's first Smash/fighting game player? Do you feel pressured? Hoang: I would be lying if I said I didn't feel pressured. I still feel pressured coming back since I was once the undisputed champion. However it also makes me want to try harder to try to represent Liquid at a high level. Jung: I don't feel any pressure, I view this more of an opportunity. I am honored to be given this opportunity from Team Liquid, and I will give it my all. I feel I don't call myself a fighting game player since I don't attend major fighting game related tournaments, but I like to play lots of different fighting games so I can experience a diverse range of metagames. How one views their options in Tekken is vastly different than how one views their options in Street Fighter IV. I play lots of different fighting games to challenge myself. I will consider attending more fighting game related events in the future. Hit the link to read the full interview. | ||

Super fun game to watch even for newbs and I even thought about buying a gamecube and the game o_o despite never playing console games. Exciting new direction for Liquid I never played any console games ever until I found Melee back in late 2009. The best choice I ever made was starting playing this game. It's different because you get tons of irl friends from playing since the online is very lacking. The tournaments happen often and are always a blast! | ||

Is this some joke I don't get? o.O And why isn't this hidden, when I only have selected SC2 and BW as filter? So confused right now... Quo Vadis, TL.net? | ||

As far as I know, there is netplay on PC via emulator since the game came out 12 years ago, so it still can count as a PC game, and you can reserve your console bashing. As if the platform the game is on means anything to the gameplay of the game itself, especially to a competitive game that has been played at high levels for well over a decade. | ||
