StarTale, the SC2 team housing amazing players such as July and Bomber, decided to jump into LoL scene.
Players:
김정균 Kim Jung Gyoon (kkoma) - Captain 이형준 Lee Hyung Joon (vitamin) 원상연 Won Sang Yeon (Mafa) 고동빈 Koo Dong Bin (Joker) 류상욱 Ryu Sang Wook (Ryu)
These five players are currently living and training in the Startale house.

Anybody know if any of these guys are any good?

The forming of a LoL team doesn't belong in the LoL forums? Sorry I should have guessed as much. Won't happen anymore

Won't happen anymore I actually agree this deserves its own thread. Most random team creations in the SC2 forums get their own thread, and this is a big name organization.
@MoonBear: I'm pretty sure the last thread got closed because it was literally a twitter link, and the mods are cracking down on threads like that. This one at least lists the players' names in the OP.
|
I agree this is thread-worthy. Probably would have helped if the last thread didn't link to a twitter post.
|
kkoma used to play sc2, was on oGs
|
oh god time for the koreans to rape everyone in LoL
|
I'm looking forward to seeing the new standard gameplay after korea steps in
|
zzz Obviously this was thread worthy, and as none of the players are known (not outside of korea anyway) it really doesn't change anything, except my post was like 10 mins after the tweet. Whatever. Locodoco is pretty mad and Manyreason + buds stopped playing LoL I heard.
|
This is big...
I already say they're going to be the team to beat in 2012.

This thread is fine. Last OP was just a Twitter link.

locodoco already has a gaming house with his team too. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the Koreans end up dominating LoL scene as well...that is, if the Chinese don't.
|
I wonder if by next year, the scene will be dominated by Koreans and Chinese lol.

Probably just Chinese players, haven't seen any good teams from Korea in all of Dota's lifetime.

I think the reason why Chinese teams had so much success against western teams at IEM Guangzhou was because of their unexpected level of aggression. It'll be interesting to see the aggression levels of the Korean teams.

3/1/1 meta change by the chinese?
HYPER AGGRESSION DOTA IMPORT.

Wow can't believe Kkoma is captain, guess I didn't realize he stopped playing SC2 for a long time then.
|
wow alot of new teams coming into the scene Im exicted.. I need to hurry up and get my site and team going :D
|
I thought kkoma was gonna quit gaming for good if he got no results in sc2...
|
Hurray, exciting news. Hopefully they can set a real professional standard which LoL is very much lacking at the moment.
Unless they are only playing LoL on the side? Hope they really are gonna dedicate that group to it, will be great to watch .
|
Hmm I wonder if this addresses some of the stuff that was being discussed in the training problems thread... I mean ST is a established team with a established gaming house...
|
been playing with these guys all day
i dont remember how tyhey played tho but im in a game with kkoma right now... im 1800 elo hes last pick
edit: well he didnt do good lol

screenshot? on NA server?
|
i have one replay for each of them... joker was wukong, vitamin was vayne ryu was fiddlesticks mafa was fiddlesticks vitamin was fiddlesticks
yup they only play on NA server i think... but idk mafa currently in queue and ryu is playing shaco right now 3:30 am EST
|
I've been hitting a few guys and they don't seem to be particularly good.
|
|
i played with Mafa (support) and kkOma (top). they're not bad. slowly climbing the elo ladder. they're grinding games hardcore. their in-game names are StarTale kkOma and StarTale Mafa. good guys though, talked to them a bit.
|
So I see why kkoma quit sc2 then. Sounds like the LoL scene is heating up.
|
Lets see how they do.
lololol
|
gom tv.. *nudge* you should host a series for LoL
|
Huh, so Startale Ryu is the only one above 1800, mafa and kkoma both around 1600. Seems really underwhelming. I get that they play with eheavy lag, but still?

Well its good to hear that they are practicing and if there is one thing Korean pro teams are good at it is definitely endless practice.
|
So either there's a fake kkoma on NA or I have one troll picking in my game as a 4th solo.

just played a soloq against kkoma, hes only 1650 atm
woops, didnt read above. i think its the real one, he was speaking in korean to someone on our team. his ping was around 160~
|
I played with kkoma yesterday I believe. Currently in queue with Mafa.

I don't see what hope StarTale has with how low rating some of their members are. Kkoma still low 1600s after 630 games.

Saintvicious didn't really appear on the ~*high elo*~ scene until he had about 1500 games in ranked.

loco and I would disagree.

I player with Joker twice today in 1800s. He played AD bot twice and did pretty good in both of them, but.. I mean, it was 1800s.
|
koreans playing with 160 ping on na servers? thats playable ping
Guess their playing on NA due to the general skill level being higher then the other servers currently
Lol has nowhere to go but up

i'm in game with mafa too now :o

You should have seen WCG LoL with korean commentary
FLASHU, JONGMAL.

eh... mafa isn't that great... fed my mid and gave me a hard game :l.
|
Ryu is playing janna with Salce and Chauster at 2000 elo atm, doing ok
|
Just played with kkOma. He did well early game, but he didn't have any nerves late game. He kept trying to initiate bad fights late. Nevertheless, it was cool. Also, Surge didn't work nearly as well as I'd hoped. Should have gotten Cleanse for their fucking Fiddle.

That saint didn't show up on the pro scene until 1500 games. >_> He's been around since late beta, just didn't get any recognition.
|
Wow, this is incredibly bizarre. I just can't imagine them all training in the same house together.
|
Played with/against kk0ma a few times. Cant comment much when I was plkaying against him but when he was on my team he was trolling hard. We had a bad start cuz most of his ganks failed, so he decided to sell all his items and buy 6 boots. Cuz you know, skarner has 6 legs.
Atleast he sold them back later and continued trying.

I see. So would you say that the ST guys have no shot at professional LoL?
