Pardon the interuption: what is a kong?


Kong -

There was a legendary BW player by the name of Hong Jin Ho. But one thing that stood him out from the other BW pros was his abysmal mutalisk micro. So the Koreans called him Kongtalisk. (as in he really stinks with mutas)

Hong Jin Ho was known for ALWAYS coming in 2nd place at major events.

See here: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/YellOw

Because of this, anyone who came in 2nd as frequently as YellOw was basically given the nickname "Kong."

So this tournament took all GSL finalists who came in 2nd and put them up against each other to find the "true Kong"


does kong mean something in korean?

1. Kkong = Bean
2. Bean = Small
3. YellOw = Small (in Stature)
Therefore:
YellOw = Kkong

Or something like that.

I don't know. Why don't you make one that rivals those great LR threads? Or do you prefer complaining on the sidelines?

I'll be free to do stats, but odds are I'll be asleep :D
Problem is, there's no information about the maps or anything....guess I'll have to just get up early to do the rest of it

I... actually don't even see how the first two are any better than this one. The third one is certainly fancy but that's just because of an abundance of pictures, something that is very easily remedied. But Seeker's threads are perfectly fine. I honestly haven't seen someone complain about LR OPs before, so you're kind of impressive in a shitty way.

Well, that's Odoakar taken care of. For the record, I agree with everyone else. Seeker's threads are marvellous

MKP has to win this tournament, just like the BlizzCup finals had to be MMA vs DRG.

Because the BW guys have had 9 more years of practice :D.
Seeker's threads are great. You're just wrong. Sorry bro.

Voted for Leenock and LoisirA cause they're the best two players. But honestly, MKP is going to win this.
