I feel like AZUBU is investing a lot into Violet. Hope to see him wreck face in upcoming tournaments.

I'm not sure it can be said that anything was wrong with them, just that they liked interesting ID's. IntoTheRain was a cool ID. Then Sung Je was influenced and taught by ITR and decided to go by IntoTheRainBOw. He eventually shortened it to just RainBOw and that's the RainBOw you have today. Sorta.

Cute bit of history.

How long do you think before all Korean teams will have both an SC2 branch and an LoL branch?

Also, is this team considered KeSPA, eSF, foreign, or other?

I think it's a German organization on paper, so foreign I guess. Either way it's not esf nor kespa.

Full article: ThisIsGame (Korean)

AZUBU has hired former Brood War pro-gamer and MBCGame announcer IntoTheRain as their StarCraft 2 head coach. IntoTheRain was one of the earliest pro-gamers, and was at his best around 2000~2001, famous for two-base timing rushes in PvZ back in the days where everyone was getting destroyed by lurker containment.

In addition, AZUBU have also brought on OnGameNet caster Son Dae Young as a new League of Legends coach. Both of them will be appearing on AZUBU TV, a new venture that will be unveiled in the future.

At the time, viOLet is the only StarCraft II player on AZUBU. There were no specific mentions about AZUBU's plans to expand their StarCraft II team in the article.

You know what I'd like to see? AZUBU Star League.

PvZ--so it's not into the Rainbow--and definitely not HopeTorture. Good luck to the new coach and viOLet.

I guess he could have changed races, but mentioning his season 1 finals vs Fruitdealer would have basically been obligatory, if it was him.


and was at his best around 2000~2001


....there was this game...


....called Brood War


Virgil ... so blunt

I used to go by intotherain in wc3 and everyone would ask me if I was him or knew him , so this is who he was. Well looks promising , seeing retired pros become coaches reminds me of national sports haha , e-sports is growing and I love it !

Can't wait to see what Azubu does with their SC2 lineup. Having viOlet as a player and IntoTheRain as a coach already looks pretty badass, should be interesting to see who else they pick up.

MVP has two., IM has one . ST had one and just disbanded. CJ has one and KT just picked up one. And of course, AZUBU has two.
