Last evening(KST), SPOTV released Starleague opening teaser with cool (and somewhat hilarious) personal logos.

Let me start with Stats:

As you can see, he once cosplayed Waldo - wasn`t hard to find this image, though.

that figure stands for EXO, a K-pop boygroup, cause there`s a korean meme about Inno and EXO:
"(looking at Inno`s picture)So handsome, I thought it was EXO! *gasp* "

Because of his defensive style, Rain`s fans and antis are always arguing about whether his playing is fun to watch or not. Of course you guys know what 'yes' and 'no' means - and the words are in the jam(its a korean abbreviation of 'jammy', a word which stands for 'fun' - nice pun, uh?) bottle. under the bottle, you can see a bell that is pronounced 'jong' in korean.

He`s eating Sunchips, just like his nickname (FIY, his name means sun)

Blink icon. herO is well known for his blink skills - you can`t deny it.

Life and lings - Plus his favorite anime, K-ON.
(I do not know japanimations well, but seems like its about music)

Champion deserves star - and Tessadar, his nickname; see below.
Holding cappuccino means 'bubble' - you know he`s been controversial for his unstable performance.

Hyun`s nick is Gobermann (Go is his surname). BTW I think it`s quite a flattering photograph!
(Part 2/2)

Messiah for Terran has a star for his championship - and you can realise this picture is quite "little".
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AnKkQmO.jpg)
There was a TV drama called "musah(musah(Kr), musha(Jp), wushi(Cn). means worrior) Baek Dongsu", which became his nickname,

Sexyguy. Need i say more?

Among Korean SC fans, SoS is famous for his intimidating face - that`s why he`s holding baseball bats.
each of those four bats has symbol of tourney that SoS won.

We don`t know why, but his arm has muscles (only in arms!) - we koreans call it 'gaming muscle', assuming that those muscles were built by shaking mouse, or maybe something else.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/zkDKVSY.jpg)
Myungsik`s nick is Zegal Myungsik, which named after Zhuge Liang (In Korean, it is pronounced like 'Zegal Lyang'), a super-well known Chinese strategist.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ugPjwN4.jpg)
Byul`s Spine crawler cheese - we know how it is good.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/idGYhM9.png)
Fish cake bar(=Hotbar): when Byul`s streak was quite hot, his nick was 'Hot-Jiwon'. however, soon that streak abated and the nick became 'Hotbar-Jiwon' ('Hotbarji' means pushover. Think "wanKerrigan" and it`ll help you to understand.)

Abe Lincoln holding two beans - As Dream made his choice by vote in former group selection, his nick became 'Democracy terran' - that`s why there`s Lincoln.
two beans(Kong) - he got second place twice in a row, so he is now noted for the next kong-line (Yellow, King of Silver)

Awesome, keep 'em coming!

If Rogue doesn't have something One Piece related, I'll be slightly disappointed. I've been a fan ever since he used "Overtaken" as his Proleague song. :D
(Please go back to using Overtaken as your song, Rogue, it was amazing. ;_;)

Someone has an Onix as their Picture?? DO they love pokemon that much????
|
That one with a body on the cross is so bad ass. This dude must like torture his opponent so much

That's Solar, because he's been criticized for playing the same style all the time. I think the Onix signifies him being called "stone".
I didn't notice there were things on the baseball bats in "Batterjwa" sOs's emblem at first 
Parting crushed a handful of Sun Chips to celebrate beating TY back in 2012 and I'm not sure TY really wants to bring that up again, let alone eat Sun Chips.
And great taste, Life. K-On.
+ Show Spoiler +K-On is only tangentially music related; it is mainly just a bunch of moeblobs eating cake and drinking tea
Damn, these graphics and production are so, so sick. SPOTV are on a roll.

TY pic so unflattering and herO's pic is a waste because he's so cute and yet we're only looking at him from his side
|
This is awesome and Life's hype image is unbearably adorable.
Can you give some background for Maru's? It's so random and hilarious that his photo is so tiny in the image.

Stats Waldo was made by the fans I think, not SpoTV. There's a bunch more fan made:

Yes. I used that image only for explaination - but its true that he once cosplayed Waldo.

oh KT make another photoshoot like that pls

All look sick except for... Hyun's (last one).
I'm sorry I know he's supposed to be holding a dagger or something but it looks like he's submissively stroking the dong of his victor. Not exactly a good sign for the outcome of his games.

I love how convoluted and random some of these are - it's neat to get a little look at a slightly different culture built up around these familiar players

think about how weird some of the more complicated memes are in English internet culture. They're built on layer after layer of changes -- basically indecipherable for people who weren't immersed in the culture to begin with.

These are amazing! Also it looks like one of Rogue's ears is extremely bigger than the other lol.
These are soooo good though :D

I didn't see any dong stroking in that picture until you brought it up 0_0
I thought he was just adjusting his wristband, or holding his fists up for a fight or something.

You see him stroking sOs's... baseball bat here?
