The players in this are players who have lost in GSL finals. Nice that GOM uses Cloud Kingdom and that new Metropolis map for this! >) | ||

I just noticed another thing. Group players get 200,000 won, which is 170 (or 200 to be simple) dollars. 2nd place gets 220,000 won, wtf lol? First place gets 2,220,000 won. So much emphasis on first place. Oh wait I just noticed. 2 = 2nd place. LOL Also why is there entombed valley? Is it for lulz, testing, or because they think it's better than Arid Plateau? A combination perhaps? This will be an interesting tourny xD | ||

Sorry I'm not an expert at the subject, but it has to do with that Kong Dance video that is linked in the OP. I think it goes something like this. There's this song where there's this "kong dance", and YellOw was seen doing it once. So people started calling him a kong, and "kong line" started being used for other players who got only second place(s), and I think that refers to the dance too? (dancers lining up). Something like that xD | ||

Well Cloud Kingdom has been in the map pool for the ESV weeklies for a while, so Koreans have already been exposed to it anyway, meaning they are actually probably going to be quite comfortable with it (since someone on their team will have already played on it most likely). GOM and ESV have also already co-operated through the Code A spot awarded to the winner of the ESV monthly final a couple of months ago, so it's not a massive surprise that the winner of the TL map contest, which has already been used in Korea, and is made by some people who have contact with GOM has made it into a (smaller) competition. It is nice to see though. | ||

The reason why the prizes are 2,220,000 and 220,000 and 200,000 instead of all just 2,222,222 / 222,222 / 222,222 Is because the total amounts to 4,040,000 = 404 error "not found" So I guess it refers to the silliness of the event, basically xD and there's other more specific ways you could interpret it as.

When I see him in pictures and videos he seems average for a male o.o | ||
