Nah, I actually don't like this one so much. Usually I have an idea for the start and let the end just taper off but in this case I had the concept for the end but didn't have a plan for filling in the rest. I also should have made clips as the season progressed instead of waiting till the end and obliterating my quota for this month gathering stuff at the last minute.  I might recycle the concept and do it properly for something else.
I think I should have also made the banner countdown less subtle and prepared something for each day ahead of time instead of just-in-timing everything.

Part 3:
Wrecking Your Opponent
You’ve been warned about the sad state of KT fans. You’ve been told in darkest details of the KT Rolster team. Disregard everything. Be nice to fans? No need. Appreciate the opponent? Get out of here! I met up with several SK Telecom players, retired and active, and head coach Oov. I wanted capture the SKT mindset when they are about to fight against their opponent.
The Emperor Boxer:
Do you try and humiliate your opponent?
I try to be as impersonal as possible.
I get no joy out of being an asshole to someone. That said, I don't "show mercy" on newbs because getting your ass kicked is a major part of learning how to play the game. You're doing someone a disservice if you let someone win as they'll get lulled into thinking they are actually good. I don't do cheesey tactics for the sake easy wins. I’m killing them off in such a manner the next time we play they will fear me.
Iloveoov:
What is your attitude once the game has begun?
I try and show mercy to lesser players when it's a 1v1 type situation, because if I just keep killing them over and over again, then they're not going to have much fun. None of that matters, because I always win regardless. If there's more people (1v2, 1v3), then i'll try harder, but if everybody else is a major noob I may entertain myself in other ways. I don't really trash talk during games either, my fan girls take care of that for me.
BruceLee Toss Bisu:
How do you feel your opponent perceives you?
I’m not sure if you'd say I’m was classically beautiful, but my large liquid brown eyes hold such an intelligence and serenity that it is impossible for those who gaze upon not to be held prisoner by them. My cheekbones aren’t especially high and her nose was a little too long to be perfect, but there is undeniable symmetry to my features and perhaps that's what holds everyone so captivated. People do all they can not to stutter and blush when they address me.
Rain:
What goes through your mind before your match begins?
Before I enter the booth and envision myself. I am a general standing on the hilltop, a lone figure in the noonday sun. In the valley below me, and astride zealots and stalkers possessed by the thrill of the battle thunder across the plain. Driven by fury and fear, and with flashing weapons held high, they charged into the waiting ranks. The slaying had commenced.
Parting:
Are you always confident when you play?
I laugh heartlessly, looking down at opponents as if they are just another child begging me for pity. As I continue to stare across the room waiting for my game, my stony glare carves into the weakening eyes of my challengers. Fury blurs their sight causing them to lose focus. In the time it takes their mind to return, their faces is already swollen, puffy, wet. They realize they typed GG on the screen, but they also know their forfeit was an involuntary result of the fear of me haunting them.
soO:
Describe the final moments as you defeat your opponent?
The pain my opponent should feel is like fire had faded away to an icy numbness. Black fills the edges of my vision as I near victory and the only thing I could hear is my own heartbeat. My opponents breath comes in ragged, shallow gasps. Seconds pass as my units gather, then, my opponent hears the voices. Units swarm all over my challenger. I laugh. Surely he could tell that it was far too late for him to be saved, yet like children, he is naive to the darkness of the real world. The despair and suffering of the world that takes everyone who opposes me away. He would be joining them soon though. He would be able to leave all the pain behind with just two letters. I close my eyes, I can be happily now. My opponent has fallen.
A big thanks to the players who found time to answer these questions for me.
Part 4
Coming Soon

Can soO also tell us how it feels to keep loosing in GSL finals? I'm sure Zest could give him some tips how to win it

OK, 3 1 more days. If this thread get 50 pages before the games start, I'll give TL+ to the first poster on the 50th page.
But it probably won't happen cause people aren't passionate enough

Who is the best KT?
"KT best KT" "SKT best KT". These are common statements found on the forums. Tonight we will find out which of the two will be the champions of the 2014 Proleague Season, but there is a ton of analysis you can do to determine which is actually the best KT! Since we have some time to build the hype, I thought I would put down some more stats to try to prove which KT is in fact the best KT. This shit is about to be so science you don't even know.
(note: this only applies to Starcraft II)
Head to Head:
This is pretty standard. Which team has the winning record in their head to head matches? I have not included the Zombie proleague in 2011-2012 because that shit was just bonkers.
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/lichter/SPLlogos/sktt1.png) SKT holds the lead in head to head matches by a score of 6-5. KT has actually won more maps than them (28-26 overall) but it's the match wins that count.
But there is another aspect to head to head records: How do the players of each team do when they are matched against each other outside of a team league format?
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/lichter/SPLlogos/kt.png) In individual leagues KT has the upper hand, with a 28-18 record in matches and an 83-60 record in maps. Just to give you an idea of how good Zest has been against SKT: without him the match score between the two teams is 17-17 and the map score is 53-45 in favor of KT. Zest is the real Telecom matchup bonjwa.
Score: KT 1-1 SKT
Tournament Wins
This is standard stuff. Which team's players have won more tournaments? Neither team has won a team championship because they both suck but let's look at individual leagues.
SKT:
Hot6ix Cup
2012 WCS Korea
2012 OSL
RBBG NYC
2014 GSL Season 2
KT:
2014 GSL Season 1
2014 GSL Global Championship
SKT has the edge here, and that is without counting the tournament wins of Parting or Soulkey that they got prior to joining SKT.
Score: KT 1-2 SKT
$$$$$$$$$$$
"Mo money mo problems" as a Starcraft II player will probably never say. Which team has earned more money from tournament wins/high placing? I will include individual money and team money!
SKT: $283,475
KT: $219,543
SKT? More like $KT. Once again, I tried not to include anything that was won prior to a player being on one of the KT's. (Parting and Soulkey would have added much more to the total).
Score: KT 1-3 SKT
Finals:
KT beat SKT 4-0 in the Round 1 finals and Zest 4-3'd soO in the GSL finals of Season 1. KT king of finals.
Score: KT 2-3 SKT
And so, by the power of science, lack of other ideas, and the need to go run a few LR threads, I declare that SKT is in fact, the best KT!
