The Hong Kong Esports Tournament is set to take place in Hong Kong on August 31st, with a total $100,000 Hong Kong dollars on the line in the StarCraft II competition. The eight players who made it through the qualifiers will compete live in Hong Kong.
So... who is KingKong and why did he and FXOHurricane end up being the KR representatives? The other top KR players couldn't beat them? (or they weren't able to commit to a HK tournament?)
Also, I hope HuK eats some good Cantonese food or even Dim Sum while he's there

Confusingly enough, Hurricane qualified through the KR qualifier, KingKong through the SEA qualifier, and Rossi through the Wild Card qualifier.

KingKong is a former Startale player who moved to Australia for non-gaming related reasons, but his SC2 skills remained and thus he makes aussie lives miserable

AFAIK that's combined for all other disciplines (lol, street fighter, etc)
the SC2 pool was announced as 100k HKD when they made their first announcement
Their website clearly states that the total prizepool is 1.5 million HKD. All the games are shown with their prize pools, and it adds up to 1.5 million HKD.
Edit: I read it both in English and Chinese and it's the same, says 1.5million total, 900k for SC2.

Is that a joke? The guy's hardly a no-namer.
no? not everyone on TL knows every korean who's ever placed in a starcraft tournament...
Very well, I'll answer. B4 or BBoongBBoong was a Prime zerg and the notable 5th man in their roster (MKP, Byun, Maru, and Creator). He's been a very solid zerg with multiple code S appearances throughout his career. Hardly a no-namer is right.
