LG-IM coach interview (Korean)
LG-IM LoL team members interview (Korean)
LG-IM, one of the premier Starcraft 2 teams in the world, now has a League of Legends division.
Main points in the articles:
- The LG-IM League of Legends team members:
Jungle - Jeon HoJin AKA "a Lilac", formerly from team OP.
Bottom AD - Choi Hyun Il AKA "Paragon", also former team OP member
Mid AP - Park YongWoo AKA "Mid King"
Bottom Support - Lee MinWoo AKA "Tatu", no previous professional gaming experience.
Top - Jeong YoonSeong AKA "Ring Troll", no previous professional gaming experience. Korean ELO: 1964, NA ELO: 2125
- The forming of the team has been on the works since September 2011. LG-IM is now fifth professional LoL team in Korea, after Startale, MiG, Najin e-Empire and Xenics Storm.
- The team members will join the LG-IM house on May 15th, and will officially debut in the OGN's "The Champions Summer" Preliminaries.
- a Lilac and Paragon will finish this "the Champions" season as team OP members. They will play all the remaining matches with their former team.
- a Lilac will be the jungler, unlike in team OP where he played top lane.
- a Lilac was handpicked by coach Kang to be the leader of this team.
- Tatu apparently was a very famous WoW Arena player. He was introduced to coach Kang by a close friend of his.
- The other three players (MidKing, Paragon and RingTroll) were suggested to coach Kang by a Lilac himself.
- Going to IPL5 is a possibility. Foreign tournaments are somewhat a priority.
EDIT: Looks like MVP wants a slice of the pie too...

Recent developments (May 17th): TIG source
1. Tatu out for the season due to personal reasons.
2. Lee Sang Jung AKA "CornSalad" (former team OP) in for LG-IM.
3. Tatu is still on the team, but CornSalad will be subbing in for him just for this upcoming season.
4. Since LG-IM got 3 former team OP members, it now has the rights to claim the team OP's seed for the next season.

They were trying to go to Korea to join/form a team with MidKing. MK is on IM now though.
Edit: aliases for Tatu and Ring Troll? Haven't heard of those two.

They need Midkings help to get to Korea, but his new team seems to have a new solidified roster that the team managers probably wont look to replace at the cost of flying two people from Canada.

내가 팀원들을 구하고 있었는데 정글러를 찾기가 굉장히 어려웠다. 그래서 내가 하기로 했다. 내가 정글러 포지션을 좋아하기도 한다.
Translation: "When I was looking for team members, I had huge trouble finding junglers, so in the end I decided to do it myself. I really like the position."

Lilac is king.
He's like KR version of Chauster imoimo.

Haha that is awesome.
^^ Referring to the translation.
"Ssibal, no good korean junglers.. gah.. gae saeki I will jungle."
My own translation.

Yep. The only role I haven't seen him play is AD carry but I'm sure Lilac is good at that too. He played support for CLGna when Elementz was out of town (and fell asleep from exhaustion lololol), I'm pretty sure he got to rank 1 on NA during season 1 playing mostly AP carries, used to play solo top on OP, and now plays jungler for this new team. Guy's so pro. And nice too.

Holy shit, shoulda have waited and made a thread for both teams... >_<
I'll just quote this instead (with some "small corrections"), with your permission.
BTW it's ladder ID, not leather XD

a Lilac jungle??  - Oh well, hope he rapes.
But Paragon? That guy failed botlane very often. ugh
|
Which one is the little dude?
|
What about Mashme and Patoy...
Those 2 and Midking were supposed to start a team together D:

Looks like MVP wants to have internal practice teams.

I would hope most Korean teams do this. It's a good way to practice [only] while keeping strategies inhouse.
|
Its cool that they have 3 teams, so while two practice, the other spectates the game and can give input with a neutral pov
|
alright tatu is the guy who went some pvp tourney in WOW.
They say he was abuser, and not much is known about him.
as for ring troll, he used to go for the name bad at starcraft.
ring troll is pin of trolling, in his dc forum account.
bad at starcraft used to play for godxxxdarkness the former mig team.
he got kicked due to drama.
