I work at Team Legion and we are partnered with ZeNEX so some little things may be a bit biased, but overall I'm really just a fan ^^
Team ZeNEX
Virgil created and approves of this photo Introduction
Team ZeNEX was originally formed as a merger between two of the biggest clans in korean starcraft II, NEX and Zenith. Back in the "early days" of GSL, NEX and Zenith had many top tier players in the GSL, such as San, Kyrix, and many others.
Over the past months, ZeNEX has been seen as a bit of a "farm team" by many others, including other korean pro teams. They have had 12 players leave to join other top top top teams since their existence. 12!! This just shows how strong their system is at the ZeNEX house, and how good they are at producing talent. Some of these players most avid starcraft fans will be familiar with. Puzzle, CoCa, Byun, Hack, Taeja, and Genius to name a few.
GSTL 2012 Season 2 is upon us, and ZeNEX is looking strong to take the top spot. ZeNEX has been pretty much destroying in the KSL Team league, taking 2nd place in the regular season, securing at least a top 3 finish. They have been the "surprise" team, but their consistent results in the KSL should change that.
Team ZeNEX was famous for looking for "The Thing" and their thread on Team Liquid got thousands of hits and over 400 replies. They recently have found "the thing" in their partnership with Team Legion creating stability, and helping their presence worldwide.
While these things I mentioned are reasons in their own that ZeNEX is a clear team to beat in GSTL Season 2, its their top tier list of players that really shows their strength.
ZeNEX Manager
Heewon Yun
Look at that picture. Look at your keyboard. Look back at that picture. Now back at your keyboard. Type the first way to describe the picture that comes to your mind. I'll go first. "Nerd Baller." Heewon Yun is a complete boss. He has been extremely cool under pressure in team leagues, and is the best looking manager out there. Just look how well dressed he is.
Heewon Yun is ZeNEX's star manager. He has shown his managerial prowess throughout the life of ZeNEX, constantly making tough calls in leagues such as the GSTL or the KSL Team League, and making the right ones.
Heewon Yun is also known for being able to scout out and produce talent. He has shown this ability consistently, being the talent factory of the Korean pro teams. This new wave of ZeNEX players are the current talent pool which is a force to be reckoned with.
ZeNEX Players
The Terran front line
The Terrans on ZeNEX are the front line of ZeNEX, with strong players to look out for! Jjun
ZeNEX's terran line up currently can be considered their "Front line". They may not have the star potential per sei of their Terran or Zerg line ups, but they have the skill to take out any player on any given day. Jjun is arguably leading their terran charge with his proven strong play. He recently qualified for last season's code A, qualifying over RagnaroK. Last season's GSTL he also impresively beat BoxeR, Alicia, and Ryung from SlayerS.
Fun facts: Jjun played in the first broadcasted Starcraft II match on OGN against MarineKing at the WCG Korean national finals. Jjun is pronounced "Joon". He embodies the Team ZeNEX spirit with crazy proxy strategies to play mindgames with his opponents.
Oh Cutter. Famous for being the strongest player in Starcraft II, he utilizes his muscular force to create an absolute monster on Starcraft II. He often participates in tournaments such as the ESV Korean Weekly, and has participated for ZeNEX in tournaments such as the IPL Team Arena Challenge. He can be a bit of a wild card, so look out to see if he can transfer his brutal force to strength in Starcraft!
Fun facts: Cutter is the strongest person in the Starcraft II scene, and legend has it he won against Khaldor in a boxing match.
While ZeNEXHarrier may be lacking in pictures all over the interweb, he is certainly not lacking in skill. He recently qualified for Code A for the 3rd season of 2012 GSL. While at first glance, many more casual fans may not see qualifying for the first round of Code A as impressive, but let me explain why qualifying for Code A is such an impressive feat. DongRaeGu, considered by many to be considered to be the best zerg in the world, NEVER qualified for Code A. DRG went through the preliminary rounds several times in his attempts to make Code A, but he was stuck only owning up in the GSTL. Yes. The former GSL Code S champion NEVER qualified for Code A.(apparently he did qualify one time, my bad, but besides the point :/) And ZeNEXHarrier did, and his run wasn't exactly an "easy" run. He had to take out top player San, SocceR, and then asd, who was very recently in Code S. If that's not enough reason to root for Harrier, he is also a fighter jet used all over the world. So not only can he USE Banshees, he can also take them out with his fighter jet skills.
Fun facts: Harrier used to play for SlayerS before joining the most gosu team out there.
ZeNEXRyoO is the braniac of the bunch. He not only has great mechanics, but he uses his smarts to his advantage, using clever builds to annihilate his opponents. He is able to use his knowledge of his opponent, the map, and the matchup to create specifically tailored builds for his matches. He has used these strategies in the KSL Team League, beating players such as finale and Keen.
Fun facts: RyoO goes to the top private university in Korea, Yonsei University. He goes with his good friend ShinyStar from the clan IOv. He is fluent in English, after living in Australia in New Zealand for 11 years, so naturally he should be a foreign favorite. (NOTE: Fans go support this guy, and he will communicate back his korean gosuness!)
Obligatory: THIS IS SPARTA. How many people have the guts to name themselves after the most prolific warrior Greek city state? 1, and THIS player IS SPARTA. (sorry, I had to) Not only is he brave enough to name himself after Sparta, he is strong enough to back it up and walk the walk. He has shown himself in tournaments such as the Korean Weekly, and he has consistently proven himself to be a beast. In the KSL Team League, he recently proved his worth against MVP beating TAiLS, Monster, and Sniper.
Fun facts: He does not enjoy the "normal" idea of fun, he just enjoys being an ancient Greek warrior and toppling over his opponents.
The Protoss "Cybernetic" Core
The protoss are the core of ZeNEX's lineup, not the aces of the lineup, but the players who will take a few games at least in a team league, and will provide meat for their line up.
Mentalist's name really hits the spot. He is really bright in the head, going to a good university before having to drop out due to financial reasons, and realized he could use his brain to play Starcraft II. Mentalist is extremely friendly with the foreign community, having played for Infinity Seven in the past, and plays in Playhem Dailies consistently.
In the FXOpen Korean KOTH Week 15, he was able to defeat top gamers, such as SuperNoVa, Golden, Jim, and asd.
Fun facts: He plays a rigid 12 hours a day schedule, from 2pm to 2am, without failure of domination.
The man. The cool man. The coolest man. The man with the glasses. Need I say more? I will anyways. TREME is an absolute MONSTER. He wears awesome CAPS lock on his name and has sweet glasses.
Not only is he a complete boss, but he is a fantastic Starcraft II player. He may be arguably the ace for their protoss lineup, along with Avenge. He beat notable players in the GSTL Season 1 such as TheStC, NaDa, and fOrGG. He has been playing in the Korean Weekly matches, and has been showing some top notch skill.
Fun facts: He is known as the most cool professional starcraft player out there.
Formerly known as Mushroom, YangSongE is a bit of an unknown even to some of the most avid fans of the korean scene. Despite this, he is still a part of ZeNEX, and thus a part of the most gosu team in the Starcraft II scene. Through the transitive property of gosu-ness he is one of the most gosu players in Starcraft II. Yeah, you might not be convinced right now that he's a top player, but just think: He used to be a mushroom, and he was good enough to be on the best (maybe arguably) Korean Starcraft II team out there. Picture how good he will be with a more "manly" name.
Fun facts: Not many YET for YangSongE, but watch out for him!
Don't let his old name, "SuZy" mistake you for someone without strong and aggressive play. Along with TREME he is the ace of the protoss lineup, and a force to be reckoned with. Don't expect to win against Avenge after beating a ZeNEX player, as he will Avenge them from the dead.
Avenge has a strong list of results throughout his career. He made it to the semi finals of Teamliquid's own map contest, and has beaten IdrA in Code A.
Fun facts: Has used a lot of IDs throughout his career.
The Zerg "Overlords"
The Zergs are the aces of ZeNEX's lineup, the people at the end of the lineup who will finish off their opponents. With their 2 aces in Line and Life, opponents will need to practice heavily against Zerg to stand a chance to keep their tournament Life alive.
Did you follow the "early" days of Starcraft II? If the answer to that question was yes, you have probably heard of Kyrix. An absolutely dominating force of the first few GSL seasons. He got as good as top 8 in Code S.
Yeah, some may say that was then, but how good is he now? The answer to that is that nobody knows. Not even Kyrix himself. But there is one thing that we can be sure about. He has the potential to reach that high again, but we just need to watch out for the return of the Kyrix!
Fun facts: Kyrix was one of the pioneers of baneling agression Pet
After Byun and his Pet left ZeNEX there was a deep longing in the house for a new team Pet, and they found it with ZeNEXPet.
Pet has been proving himself as of late in team leagues such as the KSL, and has been dominating "Smaller" tournaments such as the ESV Korean Weekly, and the Playhem dailies. Overall, while you may not know his name, he is sure to show his skill in the upcoming GSTL.
Fun facts: Pet is a charismatic core of their team house atmosphere.
The man, the hero, the legend. Stand in Line to meet ZeNEXLine! Also known as SuHoSin, he is famous for debuting the playstyle of zergling-mutalisk in the GSL Super Tournament when he made it to the top 8.
Line recently made it to Code S in the recent up and down matches, with impressive roach based agression. As the only current ZeNEX representative in Code S, he will try his hardest to do his legendary team proud, and be the Guardian of their throne. Not only will he be their Code S representative, he is also one of their 2 aces along with Life in team league matches.
UPDATE, BREAKING NEWS: Line recently had a run in with TMZ... check below for more juicy details! + Show Spoiler +
All credit to Fionn for the TMZ photos and Virgil for bringing to my attention
Fun facts:Line is also known as SuHoSin or guardian. He is a complete class act.
The ace player of ZeNEX. ZeNEXLife. He will revive the Life of ZeNEX as a dominate force in the GSTL. He is an absolute Monster in weekly matches. His list of accomplishments is so long that one could use the famous "B Word" on him. Yes I said it, Life is the Weekly Bonwa. They include: 1nd iCCup weekly #4, 1st iCCup weekly #8, 4th place in the Arena Of Legends, Team Ace Invitational, all killing ReIGN in IPL TaC 2, 3rd Place in Iron Squid, 1st place in EWM Season 2 Finals and 1st in EWM Season 2 Week 5, 1st place KSL Week 3 Day 4, 1st Place ESV Weekly #6, and 1st place in the second IronSquid qualifier. That was a mouthful.
If for whatever reason that laundry list of results isn't enough to assure you that he is a Monster, I don't know what you consider a Monster.
Fun facts: Life has been rank #1 in GM for quite awhile now.
In Conclusion
I just told you how good ZeNEX's players are, and how good they are as a team. Unfortunately they do not have the fan support or the sponsorship support of the other korean teams, with their only sponsor being Razer through the Team Legion partnership. What we need from you is to support them by sending them friendly messages on twitter, and cheer them on for their matches in the GSTL. Their twitter accounts are in the spoiler below.
@ZeNEXLife @ZeNEX_Avenge @93_SooN (Cutter) @HarrierSC2 @ZeNEXmentalist @ZeNEXPet https://www.facebook.com/tae.ryoo (RyoO's facebook) @ZeNEX_Sparta @ZeNEX_sc2 (ZeNEX manager) @TeamRazer to tell razer how awesome ZeNEX is, and @TeamZeNEX for the team twitter
Create fanclubs for the players who don't have fanclubs, solicit sponsors to get them better computer to stream, or even create a donation for some better computers. Thank you for the time, and support ZeNEX for GSTL Season 2! ZeNEX hwaiting!
VirgilSC2 with the pictures and editing, to SeekeR, opterown, and the rest of the Live Report crew, as I really did not appreciate how long it takes to create one of these threads. And last of all: Thank you to Team Legion for giving me the opportunity to be on the team, and the opportunity to be so close with ZeNEX
If you have anything you would like to be added or changed on this page, please PM me on teamliquid.
cheering for zenex must be like cheering for the sc2 version of airforce ACE
everyone loves the underdog (in my case, i actually do)
GO ZENEX
(but seriously, they're not going to dominate. makes me wish the GSTL actually adopted a league format - it'd suit teams like zenex far, far better IMO)

Yeah they have been doing really well in the KSL which had a league format. But still with this format, I think that ZeNEX has a legitimate chance to do really well, they took Startale to their limits, so we will see!
I love how horrible the photoshop is on the cutter photo lol. I kinda like last seasons thread better, it didn't take itself seriosly at all : )
"ZeNEX's terran line up currently can be considered their "Front line". They may not have the star potential per sei of their Terran or Zerg line ups" I think this is a mistake, so you might want to fix this.
I find a hard time thinking of anyone dominating beyond the IM-SK partnership - Mvp, Nestea and MC on the same team just eclipses every other notion of domination

Thank you for somebody understanding how to believe! Believe in the rise of the ZeNEX!
Zenex isn't a team to take lightly, they are looking better then a lot of other teams coming into this gstl. Their zerg line up in particular is stellar. ZenexLife is INSANELY good.

yeah he's the most "westernized" out of the group, after living in australia/new zealand for 11 years haha. send him a message showing your support please, the players REALLY appreciate it.
While at first glance, many more casual fans may not see qualifying for the first round of Code A as impressive, but let me explain why qualifying for Code A is such an impressive feat. DongRaeGu, considered by many to be considered to be the best zerg in the world, NEVER qualified for Code A. DRG went through the preliminary rounds several times in his attempts to make Code A, but he was stuck only owning up in the GSTL. Yes. The former GSL Code S champion NEVER qualified for Code A.

Terrible team overall. Every aspect from their line-up to their team name/logo/colors is horrible. I expect ZeNex to be the worst team of SC2 history and this will be shown by their horrible Team League results.

Zenex definitely dominated in the KSL this past season although I wonder if that had more to do with other teams not preparing as much for it, while Zenex took it very seriously.

This is amazing! ^^ I was waiting for anohter zenex hype thread, they are always the best!!!! I would love them to get a couple of upsets this year, as long as it isn't against by beloved liquid :>

anyways, DISAGRE! startale will win this seasons:D
+1
but zenex is still the shit because I am protoss and I <3 avenge and treme
Fun fact: StarTale has two silvers in the GSTL, the only team to have two. I would not be surprised for them to get another, the Kongs of Team Leagues!
This is the cutest and most optimistic GSTL hype thread yet. The title doesn't even say they will win, just that they will dominate. Good luck to them regardless.

Cutter's seen it, he replied to someone on twitter saying something like "thx but that's not a picture of me" LOL
Zenex just might beat Liquid tomorrow. I would have never expected it, but the possibility of Liquid unable to field Taeja gives Zenex a huge edge. I'd say Taeja is the scariest player for Liquid since he is such a solid all-around player (2 All kills in GSTL Season 1 2011), and without him, Liquid becomes vulnerable. Either way, it should be a great series.

i love people who are dicks just for the sake of being dicks.
Even through today's results, i feel that ZeNEX can still go toe to toe with other teams in the GSTL. I don't think that they can beat the LG-IM SK team but they will have a good run i think this season.

Not really jumping the gun. ZeNEX isn't a very diverse teams (i mean, a korean team without well-known terrans other than Cutter?) but they are heavily underrated. I highly doubt they'll win, but people thinking Liquid would destroy them were obviously mistaken. We'll have to see how they perform if Life is out of the equation.

Zenex invested into protoss and zergs, waiting for that day ! =P And now that terrans are struggling, Zenex will rampage his way into 3 consecutive GSTL titles.

ZeNEX will now show Puzzle why he should have stayed on ZeNEX
Tommorow will be the first time in sooooooooooo long that I will have actually gotten up early to watch Starcraft ;p The last time I did was NesTea vs Inca, every season since then I have just bought the ticket ;p

Beating Liquid isn't exactly a thing you proudly put on your resume (love liquid for the site but the team isn't AAA+++). Zenex are still a long shot to win it all.

Ultimately, they achieved second overall, and went 5-2 against the very best of the best korean teams. They've done it before. People just don't know about it.
Zenex needs to somehow acquire the means to keep star players. They are clearly a great team who produce excellent players, but they get sniped by other teams. Life may end up being their next star, but for how long? I'm just sad to see how Zenex, if they had managed to keep their players, would be top-tier team. But any time someone does, they get picked up by another team ><

They play Prime this weekend for the right to face off against StarTale in the finals.

I think/hope we will be seeing this change over the next few months
I personally don't see how ZENEX are going to manage a good run of the gstl this season, though I have to say that I'm quite impressed with Life's performance in their game against TL last night.

what happens if i told you ZeNEX isn't just 1 player?
Sorry, zeNEX is just not a top-notch team. Their ability to stifle talent is the only thing being shown by the fact that so many top tier players were so horrible when they were on zeNEX.
Also, the fun facts are lame. More crazy, small tidbits would be better.

What?
Puzzle WON Code A on ZeNex.
Byun got to the semifinals on ZeNex.
Coca got to the Code S quarterfinals on ZeNex.
Hack ALL-KILLED on ZeNex.
It's ridiculous how people act like ZeNex's players were shit and then Slayers, etc. magically took them and made them good. ZeNex has developed good player after good player. It's amazing how ZeNex keeps getting ransacked of their best players and still continue to develop players like Life, Xtreme, Harrier, etc.
I don't get why Life picking apart Liquid is more on the shortcomings of them than Life just being fucking good. Yeah, he played greedy and should have been punished, but ZeNex is a deep team. They don't have any mega stars, but they have the talent to beat most of the GSTL teams and get deep in the tournament.

Sorry, zeNEX is just not a top-notch team. Their ability to stifle talent is the only thing being shown by the fact that so many top tier players were so horrible when they were on zeNEX.
Also, the fun facts are lame. More crazy, small tidbits would be better.
I love people like this.. you can't deny that have produced amazing talent, and currently HAVE amazing players, Life, Line, Xtreme, Avenege, JJun for starters. If you don't acknowledge the skill of any of those players you obviously have no idea about the Korean scene. Ask a Korean about any of those players and they will tell you they are amazing..

Wow! I was always sad that Zenex wasen't doing so great, but after seeing them in the last 2 GSTL matches I am impressed! I hope they reach the semi-finals in GSTL! They really need a break, with so many players coming and going...
A foreigner team should definetly talk to them for a partnership and tournaments should start giving Life invites! he really deserves it.

With play they have shown the last two days, I don't see them losing to TL at all and NSHS doesn't have the depth required if Life starts going on a tear and takes out Jjakji.

As someone who was rooting for Slayers-EG, I must say, Zenex put up a hell of a fight today. Now that Slayers has already advanced, good luck in your final match.

Really looking forward this match today! I hope this time we see more players than just Life and somebody else. Would like to see more Harrier and Sparta for example.
Aaaah this is what happens when zenex shows mercy and doesn't have cutter all smash every team, there's still always next season though, zenex all killed TL and drove slayers-eg to the edge so this was definitely a positive experience.
I thought it funny that Life won 5 -> 3 -> 1. Does that mean he'll go -1 next time? But nonetheless congrats for putting up a valiant fight - Life was beast.

Good effort ZeNEX. you guys played well and did better than you did in most GSTL seasons. Good luck next season! Good luck to all your GSL players as well.
Lol, was this post made after ZenexLife all-killed Teamliquid? Because it was pretty apparent that Teamliquid was at fault for being horrible, horrible on Monday, and not exactly Zenex being the new GSTL Messiah.

made well before that
Doesn't look like it. Looks like ZenexLife all-killed Teamliquid, and this post came to life. In any case, I guess everyone else was right, and Zenex was indeed the weakest of the Korean teams.

You should learn how to use a calendar.. This was indeed posted before their match.
We should adopt a wall of shame for these hype threads. Each time a hype team is knocked out, we sticky the thread until the end of the season as a constant reminder of why your favorite team WONT dominate GSTL.

Calendars are good. When did we call Zenex the GSTL messiah?

Team Legion and we are partnered with ZeNEX so some little things may be a bit biased, but overall I'm really just a fan ^^![[image loading]](http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4584/zenexfighting.png)
