So this is WTL's version of EG-TL? Let's hope they'll be more successful. ^_^

It's sort of a play on both former team's logos. the "S" shape is the lighting symbol in KZG's logo and the dragon in the background is self-explanatory.

Sure, but in terms of two big rivals joining together it reminded me of that.

Yeah but DPG and Kaizi were one team to begin with before they split. Also this is actually 2 good teams joining together.

Nah me too, but they should integrate the "Team" and the "Gaming" so we get to say like "TDKSZG vs AX - WTL W3"

Acording to one of the owners Dark is confirmed to play the entire coming season for them. So his military service is not going to Start in the first half of the year at least.
They couldn t make any statement on anything after that, though

He left KaiZi when he retired, though apparently since this month he started playing games again?

DKZ is called DaKaiZi by fans. Some of you have already known the meaning of "Kaizi"in Chinese. "Da" is "big, grand, arch- (before a title, as in archbishop or archmage)".

They pretty much have 3 out of 5 of the best players right now, so that's cool! Too bad they lost Cure, but they're probably still the best team.
