First, formerly known as Anyppi, returns to KT Rolster to bolster their protoss line up. First was a player for KT back in BW, though he didn't have a notable career. He was 1-10 in games, winning his debut against Saint in Shinhan Bank Proleague 2009-2010. He'd fail to win any more games after that before retiring from BW and joining IM in 2012.
First is a former IEM Champion (Katowice) and was runner up at IEM WC 2013. Though he was unable to find success in 2014, a return to his old team and a team environment could push the strong protoss to new heights.

Forgive my doubts, but I think the former. Best of luck, though.
I kind of agree, KT had MyungSik last season and he barely came out for them. Is First really much better than MyungSik? In 2013 I would have said yes, but now I doubt there's much difference. I still feel like they're going to be sending out Flash/TY/Zest/Stats 90% of the time. I feel like they got him so can join Action to give them a little more depth for playoffs.
Nice. I hope being on a team will allow him to regain his former form. Too bad we probably won't see him in Proleague due to the hegemony of TY, Flash, Zest, Stats.
Wow one of my favourite Protosses joins this stupid team... T_T. Anyway gratz to KT and First, it would be good for both, I think. Although KT could rather use some good Zerg.

flash has done as much in sc2 as first now i think.
You mean First was MVP for SPL two times in a row ? (A 20months accomplishment btw)
Weird choice for KT to bring him back but there's no place like home ! Next bring back forGG ! Then Legacy of the void brings us back Reach and YellOw.
Lost hitman, got First back. Yeah we still have our : "if he plays we win"
KT giving no fucks about the race called "Zerg". Good for First though, although I don't see him disturbing the Holy Quartet of Flash, Zest, TY and Stats often.

Reach and Yellow for the 2v2s and nal_Ra for the ace match the good old days
Wonder how much time he'll actually get. I feel stats is the stronger player and obviously zest is a locked starter. Always good to have depth but I'm not sure this is the strongest pickup for KT.
I'd argue half the list was scary opponents. Modesty was a terrible vP-er. Arguably still his weakest matchup. Rain was a rookie to SC1 in 2010. Light's worst matchup is vP. Movie's worst matchup is vP. Mind was falling into mediocrity along with shuttle. However, Fantasy, TY, soO, Zero were very tough opponents at that time.
I remember when there were rumors of CMStorm getting a trifecta of races and bringing in First. Oh well no dirty foreign monies for him, hope he does well in KT.
First is very talented. He was a bit shaky in 2014 (especially watching his games vs Zerg) but being in the KT house should change that. Very happy to see him join KT.
EPT
pretty interesting news. 
the good old days
I hope I am wrong, though huge step forward for First. Congratz!
