That's what I thought as well, but the BW historians tell me it's a mockery (wordplay) of YellOw - his name is Hong Jin Ho, and the line of second places made him Kong Jin Ho.

Kong (콩), which means bean, is a play on YellOw's surname Hong (홍).


Thanks for the info you two

I'd like to nominate KiWiKaKi for honorable Kong mention for foreigners.

2nd place MLG Raleigh 2010 to HuK
2nd place MLG Dallas 2011 to NaNiwa (he didn't lose a single game except to NaNiwa in this tournament, and beat IdrA, HuK, SeleCT, Socke, etc.)
2nd place IPL 1 to IdrA

The players who became the final sacrifices to the glory of the Champions


God damn it, this sentence is too powerful.
Wonderful article, those 4 are legendary anyway, who cares about championships when you have legacy which is glued to only few chosen ones.

Yeah, nobody can take away the glory of MKP²'s tears. It's legendary

This article seemed to be largely focused around the idea and image of the term "kong" than it was a list of so-called kong's. Certainly some individuals may be deserving of the title, but I think that is besides the term. From what I gather each member recognized here represents certain aspects of the idea of a kong, be it a rising star (squirtle) falling to a legend, two icons of a time (BoxeR)(Yell0w) and their competitive relationship, Marineking and his trademark emotional breakdowns, and soO, the "perfect" player who cannot get beyond a mental block.

Le Clos vs Phelps

If Phelps's lane was a half meter longer he woulda won. Same thing happened to him that happened to Cavic in 2008 haha

Really great read, soO was the only one I really was around to see, but his style being "perfection" really stuck out to me, and sometimes I always think about when I think of him. 6 finals in one year and not winning any of them while showing the best mechanics, army control, and arguably even decision making of 2014, it's incredible to think about. Thanks for the writeup Zealously!
