To be honest, the whole interview is very lacking and a bit short. Minus the fact that there are no capital letters or question marks (hardly the issue), you're missing both the manager's viewpoint/excitement (something bullshit professional/valid like "We're very excited about them") or even a reason why you picked these guys up or what makes them stand apart from everyone else.

and then you see their answers on why they chose VP over anyone else and they say something along the lines of "because they wanted us". Just feels a bit... dull.

You should consider changing the title. If you put "VPGamers picked up 2 Korean GMs!" It sounds shallow or more of the idea that you're proud of picking up any GM Koreans rather than these specific players. We should wonder why you picked these two players when reading the title, not wonder which GM Korean you picked up.

Maybe I'm expecting too much. Good pick-ups nonetheless!
(clean-up the text, you're presenting two new potentially good players but you don't capitalize or properly format it to be presentable ): )

Doesn't really answer my question. Are their nicks going to be VPcZaCbass and VPnexsikari or VPzenexmunchla? or VPcbass and VPsikari or VPmunchala?

super poor formatting and... maybe they should have picked their ids before you guys announced this..

Regardless, nice by VP ~~; I've played seohyeon several times in ladder and he's fun.

Ooh, I've heard of Seohyeon before. He's in Lof KR Clan and also top of SEA ladder now. Awesome stuff.

It's a bit weird that they promote them as two KR Gms, made me think they were both GM on KR ladder. TT

"Why did you join VP" - "cuz they asked me"

That doesn't really present your team well... they didn't even make up something like "I really wanted to be a part of this awesome organization,"


Seems very strange
