As for the "popular player" thing, I don't buy it because if they really would want that they'd field Flash instead, as much as I like Zest just compare the fangirls screams when Flash wins a game and when Zest wins one and you'll see who is the more popular. | ||

You're making an unnecessary and incorrect assumption there, though - disregarding the "popularity" factor because you say if that was the case, then they'd send out Flash. But that's not necessarily true, as they do intend to win the ace. Sending out Flash in his current form would just be possibly the worst choice statistically as ace, despite him being the most popular player on KT. So they choose Zest, someone they think has a better chance of winning the ace than Flash (which isn't saying much), but is still a fan favorite and an attractive face for their brand (again, PL is a television show in Korea, after all). | ||

I'm happy to learn that I am incorrect, and that you and your overpowered knowledge know what goes through the mind of KT's coaches and decisions makers, as well as knowing that FlaSh's in house stats are worse than Zest's. You should consider applying for a job at SKT, they'd be happy to know how KT works from the inside. (and that sig lmao, golden) | ||
