I like deviation. I think its awesome that they do these things just to weird people out and have fun. You only live once.

EDIT: Also doesn't even come close to anything the Japanese do!

Wow this is really funny, i guess some people dont have a sense of humor to not like this. I assume the point of the make-up is to look bad as you can obviously make it look better on man then this. Look at some (Jrock/Krock) bands.

I would like to direct everyone's attention to Yoji Biomehanika. It is quite obvious where GOM got its idea for makeup from.

It's a bold assertion that they did this to intentionally weird people out and for them to have fun, in reality it was probably a terrible idea to make the progamers look cool coupled with an overzealous but terrible makeup artist. It doesn't look stupid because it's different from our social norms and we all demand men never wear makeup, it looks stupid because they look like they were covered in vaseline while auditioning for an adam ant cover band that only plays really shitty dive bars. Not everything ridiculous looking is an avant garde expression of freedom or satire on common cultural preconceptions.

Hahaha, it's even better than the watermelon one.

Genius, Top and Fruit_Dealer actually looked awesome with it. I like them experimenting with new concepts, it keeps things interesting and entertaining. Sometimes they're doing tough guy poses, sometimes they're laughing, once upon a time they even wore space suits. Now they wear make up. Maybe next season they could wear sumo suits and stomp around. Either way, I find it entertaining. Dunno why so many people are hating on it. No need to get personally offended 'cos your favourite player looks a tad feminine!

I was seriously hoping this was a joke. I guess now we know the real reason we've seen some Korean players jump ship to compete abroad. This is absolutely hideous. I have lost so much respect for these players for not standing up for themselves and refusing to do this. I don't mind over the top ceremonies and the silly code a intros. That was in good fun, but this is just bad taste and makes it impossible for me to take these guys seriously.

Huk picture is hilarious though, wouldn't want to wake up after a drunken night and see that next to me lololol! If I were one of them I'd wear the makeup and a dress to my next match in protest. WTF are they thinking.

On a side note, it's such a shame that Idra left code S! I bet Jinro has never been so happy to be in code A lol
