According to Yong Woo Kim (@kenzi131), (Z)PenguiN has joined SKT T1. He also qualified for Code S earlier today. PenguiN had previously been turning heads by performing well in various online tournaments, as well as on ladder.

I have never heard of him, sadly... I'll try to look him up and link some VODs! Qualifying for GSL is a good thing though!

Don't know him, that'll be the opportunity to discover this guy

Good luck PenguiN on SKT!

If he gets Proleague play, it'll probably be to snipe Tosses. He eliminated Stats and Liquid HerO to make Code S.

I like this, it's been a while since we've seen the big teams recruit a brand new person and grow them, instead of buying someone established already. Good luck to him!

So what this means is that SKT was holding out seeing if SK would come back but as soon as he got a new team they signed someone else. Seems SKT is pretty forgiving.

You are pulling this out of thin air.

Maybe they waited for the Code S qualifiers ? Maybe (and that's probably more true since the negociations are always long), it's just a coincidence.

SKT desperately needed new Zerg blood, after Soulkey left.

I'm kinda scared for them in Proleague though. Sure, soO, Innovation and Classic will still perform really well, but their new signings will really have to step up their game.

You don't need 6 ace players to win pro league. I'm cool with T1 roster, I think dark and dream will do good.

Remember STX proleague win. The lineup was Inno, 4 good protoss and hyvaa.

Welcome SKT looking strong imo.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

I've seen his name pop up in qualifiers from time to time. IIRC he was on KT and Prime for periods of time. It'll be interesting to see how he plays in the studio

He's not, but that's also irrelevant...

Anyways, I haven't heard much about PenguiN either, but if he's on SKT, hopefully he'll be sculpted into another top player
