BREAKING NEWS - In a shocking turn of events, less than 4 hours after Global Esports Management (GEM) announced that NesTea would be leaving Incredible Miracle, they have turned around to announce that their new client, Snapple, better known as the son of NesTea, has decided to go pro and join NesTea's former team. Snapple, 14 years of age (16 in Korea), started playing Starcraft 2 shortly after the new year as Zerg and has already placed in the top 8 of Korea Grandmaster.
Coach Kang of Incredible Miracle had this to say about the signing:
"Although I am obviously displeased to announce the departure of NesTea from the team, we are happy to announce the new addition of Zerg player Snapple. We will depend on him to be our ace in the next round of Proleague and carry us to the playoffs."
"Growing up was tough for me," says Snapple. "My mother was only 16 and my father was 17 when I was born. I had to learn how to fend for myself early, and that's why I think I have been able to do so well in Starcraft 2 so far. I know my father has left a legacy, but I plan to leave my own as well by the time I'm finished with this game"

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl
pretty good

Okay now. I know Nestea is old, but he's not that old.
|
I think it's time to leave the internet for a while now....
|
I believed this for a minute but then I looked at the date and just realized. =x

Snapple will be a 4x GSL champ

Nestea had him when he was 16. This is legit news. Go Go Snapple.

Does that mean you believe Nestea left IM?
|
What's amazing is that he is only 14 and he has gotten top 8 GM in Korea in less than 3 months. Expect him to end up having a career curve similar to Maru or Creator, except that he plays Zerg.

Tip: Use http://i.imgur.com/unZzjl.jpg instead so that the thread doesn't look bad due to the image stretching the page. You can do this yourself by adding 'l' (the letter L) to the end of any imgur file name.

we no longer have to speculate on what happened to fruitdealer. he dealt all his fruit to nestea, who used it to create his son Snapple through an immaculate conception

When I saw the title of the thread I was thinking "Oh come on enough you're just embarrassing yourself" but after reading it 10/10 would laugh again

Damn this looks totally legit. I'm afraid Nestea really has left IM. 
|
Any word yet on whether or not Nestea's grandson Brisk plans to become a progamer?

Confirmed. As soon as he can walk he will be joining IM. The first bongjwa under 10 years old.
|
Snapple is coming to accomplish what his fellow IM teammate, Mvp, could not...G5L
|
Kahahahahaha! This is great.

Well he IS pretty old for progaming standards.
|
How old is that picture of Nestea?
|
|
|
quality school cafeteria selfie
|
Is that a picture of yourself?
|
|
|
This actually seems quite possible, only saying "he is already Top 8 GM Korea" was a bit too much :D
|
April Fools so far so good.

Nestea should team up with White-Ra to tour and put on show matches.
Or maybe they could start a "Senior" league, like the pro golf tour.

are you trying to tell me that nestea had a son who was a gosu bonjwa at sc2 this whole time and we are now just hearing about him?? what kind of fool do you take us for?
|
Rofl. But yeah he really does have a son who was korean masters and is around 16. Which is what makes this somewhat believable.
|
Very nice, although you should have posted this on April 1st lol
|
|
|
I don't remember the last time a post on this forum made me laugh so violently. Think it might have been the time the hydraroach was suggested haha :D

I thought this was real. Nestea leaving IM IS real though right?
|
Lol I believed this for 0.5 seconds
|
|

Nestea didn't have Snapple when he was 17, he actually conceived him yesterday. But, he traveled 14 years into the past to do it (who else but Nestea would invent time travel?), knowing that immediately after he announced his retirement, he would need an heir.

No one was sure because TL wasn't in on it, plus that one is believable and not really that funny. Maybe that one is April fool's as well

Nestea actually did leave IM
I remember seeing this before. Was this reused a few years ago?
|
what ?
i think this is the moment someone should say to nestea. "I am gonna stop you right here."
|
|
|
Is that Check (former Prime player)?
Looks like him
|
|
|
|
|
Please tell me the part about Nestea leaving IM was also a joke and this is all a pretty elaborate prank. If so, that's a pretty good one.
|
So Nestea got old and cold and before he died, he laid and egg, and got reborn?
NesteA confirmed Phoenix
|
10 times better than Blizzards joke.
|
WOW THIS WILL BE SO COOL! I HOPE HE DOES WELL  IM needs some good players in pl ^^
+ Show Spoiler +j/k dem april fools :D 5/5 would read again
|

|
Yeah right. As if claufZUBU would let baby Jeebus go to IM
|

I rate NesTea's april fools joke a 4/10 and MKP's joke a 3/10.
