이형준 Lee Hyung Joon (vitamin)
원상연 Won Sang Yeon (Mafa)
고동빈 Koo Dong Bin (Joker)
류상욱 Ryu Sang Wook (Ryu)

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

Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

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.

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 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.

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 .

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.

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.

Other than him jungling without smite, you mean?

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

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

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.

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.
