There was also a Kong dance that gained popularity. The overall meme is complicated - but that's the basic gist of it I think. Edit: I should clarify by saying that I'm talking about  YellOw, who was the original "kong." | ||

People called YellOw 'kong' as a nickname due to his short height, and he was notorious for getting a lot of second place finishes without winning a major tournament. | ||

His nickname was "Kong", meaning "bean"(don't ask me why I have no idea either). Since then, few select players have had this skill, and those players became part of the "Kong Lineage". I think we are about to witness the birth of the latest of this royal lineage. I hope I'm wrong though... Fun fact no one cares about: NaDa's lesser known nickname is "Byo", meaning "rice". | ||

If anyone can take a TvT series off mvp it's going to be MarineKing. I hope he's focused and doesn't feel pressured and plays the way he played the last 3 games vs MC and it'll be his win! | ||
