Yeah he's playing Terran. He already uploaded a video to his youtube channel of his first games. He's already in Platin. Click! | ||

"Why make an announcement of an announcement when the guy is completely unknown to sc2 fans?" like... why would i ever click on karont3 news again? i have been karont3 fan b/c i've liked lucifron and vortix as players in war3 and sc2... but this kind of insanely stupid stunt (troll or adding noob) ensures that i avoid everything karont3 in the future. why drive fans away? my brain hurts ? Today is basically april fools day in Spain. They fooled the spanish community. If you are going to hate, hate me instead for doing this on Teamliquid.net. It's just sad that you can't handle a joke. edit: Well actually it was yesterday. | ||

(the rest to come tomorrow!!!!!!)" and then the next day write "ouch." It's a shitty joke and I believe you deserve for me to tell you that you suck for bringing it here. lol what!? This is not the first and certainly won't be the last time a team/tournament/player makes such an announcement as part of their 'fools' national holiday. Again, it's sad that you can't handle a joke. | ||

One of the benefits of this is that I really didn't know much about Karont3 before, but now I've learned a little bit more. | ||

Another great day for the club, today we present our third professional player on our roster. It's none other than Miguel Ángel “Chincheto” Salgado, who has decided to stop League of Legends and Minecraft to try out a career as a professional SC2 player. After months of difficult negotiations, last weekend we came to an agreement about the monetary section of the contract. As far as playing goes, Chincheto will live one week per month in the Moreno Durán brothers' house, to receive intensive training from Pedro "LucifroN" Moreno. Obviously, without the help of Ozone Gaming, Versus Gamers, and Twitch, it wouldn't have been possible to go through with this signing. By the way, as far as the speculation of this being a Spanish fools day joke, it is indeed a joke. The day is called "Día de los santos inocentes," which literally translates to "Day of the Innocent Saints." Here is the link to the announcement of the joke. It's just the same announcement link from earlier with the traditional paper cut out of the Innocent Saint pasted over "Chincheto's" picture. Another by the way, Chincheto means "a bother" in Spanish. So, this one was fairly obvious to those who have been to Spain and learned the language. Again, OP, you should probably post this in the first post so that the confusion goes away  | ||

BTW "Chincheto" actually means "male tack". In spanish 'tack' translates as 'chincheta', which is of feminie form; it does not mean "a bother", at least not to non latin-american spanish speakers. The guy actually has a lot of subscribers in his youtube channel due to minecraft and LoL, and many of his fans were disappointed to learn that he was going to play SC2 full time (because they did not get it was an april's fool joke). Over all, it's just a joke; I don't think the "anouncement of an announcement" was the best idea, but hey, I'm not Karont3's PR guy. | ||
