KAL! :D Probably the best protoss to never win anything <3

maybe it's a good sign for his SC2 career that he isn't a BW champion lol

That explains why that one ex-WJS player was so good at SC2 before his wrists exploded.

There we go

Also, ZerO and free were good in all-kill SPL rounds too!

we need more up and coming rookies like Kal


He's not really a rookie though.

Hey, HerO won rookie of the year for Proleague

But Kal played in the hybrid Proleague, so maybe he's still not a rookie. Unless we continue the tradition of pretending that season never existed

I missed Kal's BW career so here's to hoping that I don't miss his SCII one lol and that he makes an impact! :D

DES reports that even though the Korean air force disbanded their pro team, they allowed Kal to keep practicing, and he has kept up some degree of skill.

interesting. Didn't think they would do that tbh.

It's funny how even the TL staff still can't accept that he already changed his ID to GooJila years ago (this news was titled GooJila at first but it seems somebody from TL hijacked it and simply renamed it to Kal).

Not that I can't understand it in this particular case. I also think that Kal sounds much better but this treatment is not really consistent with other cases in SC2 where people have usually let the players get away with silly changes in the recent past (Innovation, Swagger, Kangho, Duckdeok just to name a few) and didn't just continue to use the old names like they seem to do here.

To be fair a lot of people still call Swagger Killer or Sangho, Kangho Losira, Duckdeok Finale, and Innovation Bogus.


Hm... I wish that was true because the original names are the best in all of these cases but personally I have seen the majority of people use the new ones for these now.

Always love seeing older players come in. Sad that all the depressing news drowns this kind of stuff out.
