MBC Game Hero TheZerg has officially transferred to SK Telecom T1. T1 announced its final decision on Nov. 26th, although other specific details including payment have not been released yet.

SK T1 has been struggling in Proleague throughout the entire season, currently placed at 10th. One significant reason for that seems to be the weak Zerg lineup, which has gone 0-13 so far. The core Zerg lineup includes HyuK, s2, and Rumble - they have not won a single game, and is viewed by most people as the weakest out of all teams. That's why T1 has been looking for a Zerg player and it successfully found one in a team (MBC Game) that relatively has plenty of Zerg players.

TheZerg mostly played in team games until 2008, but as the new year started, he attracted a lot of attention by playing outstandingly in 1v1 as well. He qualified for a Starleague (Incruit) for the first time in his career, and continued to take down high class Terrans in various events.

In the current Proleague season, however, TheZerg has not managed to win a game and sits with a record of 0-2. He is overshadowed by teammate Saint, who has been playing brilliantly. That's why many experts call this deal a win-win situation. TheZerg will be able to play in more games and prove himself, while SKT1 finally has a reliable Zerg player. T1 plans to add TheZerg to its roster right away in December. Before anything, TheZerg will have to adapt to the team first; former MBC Game Hero player Bisu and close friend Kingdom should make things easier for him.

TheZerg is surrounded by high expectations as he moves his home. Yet at the same time, it's a perfect opportunity for him to erase the sub-par season thus far and start all over.

Fantastic, I like SKT1. I wish they would do a bit better.

good news for us T1 fans but another MBC player?
First July, then Bisu, and now Thezerg. That must be really annoying for MBC fans

edit: Why don't the team logos appear in our signatures anymore?

Are you sure you don't mean STX Soul and MBC? They're the two teams with training rooms inside LOOX down the hallway from each other in the Hero Centre area ^^ I was told both teams are also living in close proximity by one of the camera man at the Hero Centre, but that was back when the Centre first opened earlier this year so it might just be their training rooms which are so close now.

Anyway, GL to him and the rest of the SKT1 line up.
