Well this is kind of depressing. He was one of the few Terrans I actually really enjoyed watching. :/

i don't think many Babyknight is one who i can think of off the top of my head.

Dont forget about the Kespa players...

Grape was the only one who made good on the transfer and became a good LoL player.


Don't forget Watch/(Wiki)Tazza (Najin) and to some slight degree maybe SKT Piglet , who had just won courage before the switch, but technically he was still semi-pro of course, so it doesn' really count.

If he's just a backup player for Prime's LoL team, then I hope he doesn't fully commit to it.

according to the inven comments, the players they recruited seem to have some name value in the community. there were people saying they expected them to be able to make ro16, but not much after that. making champions alone is quite a feat and a huge step towards stability and making something happen

MarineKing has indeed decided to switch to LoL. Give me a minute so I can translate the article.

Grubby? Polt? Moon? All the WC3 peeps.


They all RTS, but LOL is completely different.
But that's not say MKP will do bad in LOL, I just feel sad that such a talented player with so many reputation and good memories decided to switch to another game which will surely not unfurl his true skill.
But I knew he is doing bad in SC2 now( but I doubt is it because he is not as much competitive as before so he switched or it's because he decided to switch for a long time so he did bad recently.), and for now, if not forever, LOL is much more promising than SC2 in Korea.
I'll not cry anymore

The zerg patch in May of last year pretty much ended his SC2 career, struggled mightily TvZ ever since then.

Good move, hope he has success in LoL.

Will be fun to follow his LoL career, expectations aren't very high for him.

I agree with you. It would be extremely remarkable if they could make it for the Winter season actually, as teams like SKT #2, KT A, Samsung Blue, Jin Air, IM, Xenics and others aren't qualified yet and will have to go through the bracket... A very, very tall order for Prime.

Anyway I will continue to root for MKP in whatever game he decides to play. :3

I'm speechless. Mkp inspired me to play sc2. I still remember sneaking off to the internet cafe to watch his games when I had no internet.
