 Interesting to see if DK will pick up other chinese players for this squad or just have Lyn as the sole member. | ||

Good news. Will be interesting to see Lyn focusing on SC2 again. He was Code S once, wasn't he? | ||

Skinny mofo. <3 Gluck to him, and I'm glad a DK's finally got a RTS squad. Now they should pick up Fly and TH000 and immediately have the best War3 team in China. :||||| (He's still playing both if people are wondering; he's in the StarsWar War3 KR qualifiers right now, set to play against Lucifer for the KR spot on the 25th.) | ||

Hopefully this leads to him coming back to sc2, as its future is clearly brighter than wc3.. Yeah I agree, as a fan of wc3 too (like to me its the best game ever) I just accept that wc3 is largely dead anywhere else than china and wel probably never going to see truly legendary matchups again TT. and hey even if sc2 is not as good as wc3 its still an amazing game . So yeah, would be awesome to see Lyn do good in sc2. | ||

Also, he has previously said he likes living in China. | ||

Also he's been playing War3 and SC2 for a long time until now, I had no reason to believe otherwise until that information came to light. Finally it seems he's not completely stopping War3 just yet, what Babylon said. | ||

He just destroyed Lucifer 3-1 yesterday for the KR spot in SW7 War3 tournament. If the OP is correct that he is going SC2 full-time it's not unlikely that he is still allowed to continue playing in the War3 tournaments he is currently seeded into (three that I know of right now: SW7, G-League, AWC). Yes, he does prefer to play War3 over SC2. Yes, he has upcoming military service (when is not specified). On May 26 2012 23:40 GreEny K wrote: Wonder why he went to a Chinese team, did the Korean teams not want him or did he get a better offer from DK? a.) Last bastion of War3. If nothing else he will probably close out all the tourneys he is signed up for before really switching to SC2. (Though I think I've pretty much heard both Moon and Lyn state recently that they would greatly prefer to play War3 for WCG if it is still in the running.) b.) His name-value in China is higher, so probs. better offer. Anyways, KR teams aren't rich. DK is the best DotA team in China. c.) He likes living in China. d.) He has a Chinese gf. Some combination of those factors. | ||
