The body of a computer purchased from KT i5 CPU 8 GB of RAM, graphics card is the GTX560 is the latest generation of high-end. In addition, 17-inch CRT monitors were replaced with 24-inch LCD monitor...
(Check the article for pics, they also have Razer mouse pads, I didn't recognize if the actual mouse was Razer too..)
Gangdogyeong coach, "the computer for more than 10,005 years, is using almost six years old, I was to be replaced. As long as it is to buy good I think we had set as its own high-end. Not decent players after the practice has been replaced with state-of-the-art computer environment gaeseondwae greatly pleased, "he said.
I can understand the need to upgrade a 6 year old computer, but getting a freaking GTX560 in each? 8GB of RAM? There is something to be said for having a fast computer for your use, but if this isn't for getting ready for SC2 or some other 3D game, then I think it's overly extravagant for Brood War pros, unless they REALLY wanted to play Deus Ex:HR in their free time.
While I was never a huge Brood War follower, I sincerely hope this is either:
A) A NEW KT Rolster SC2 Team B) A Hardware Upgrade for no reason
I'd hate to see the current A-Team from Rolster switch over, it makes much more sense to sign a new SC2 team, seeing as Proleague will now feature both SC2 and Brood War.

Them making a team wouldn't be weird
The A team switching would be retarded, I mean in the last 3 years they got WL bronze, WL silver, won WL and won SPL twice. Why wouldn't they milk more out of that? :D
I wonder if bw players start playing sc2 in pro league, is it going to be a divided scene in korea? Like will bw pros only be allowed to play sc2 in pro league, so there will be no intermingling of bw pros and sc2 pros in tourneys?

I highly doubt any BW pros will switch, wouldn't they have to give up their Kespa Progamer licenses to play SC2 competitively? I think it's most likely KT Rolster, if they are doing anything with SC2 , will create a new SC2-only team from B-teamers or new recruits.

Fingerboom lol not Fingerbang.
I like this, but I also don't. This would definitely show even more support for the Korean pro scene, but at the same time, even if KT goes with both leagues, more and more B teamers and lower will be likely to switch over to SC2. I just don't want anything to happen to my Brood War
This is just my own pondering, but I think that Blizzard is preparing to release an updated graphics BW - an "official" SC2BW, if you like. I remember seeing Starcraft: Phoenix on the estimated timeline sheet of Blizzard and thinking that it sounds likely - after all, how many more foreigner fans would it bring in, being able to watch BW without the crappy graphics? I expect them to keep the retarded AI etc the same, so that it doesn't alienate BW watchers.
Not really substantiated by evidence at all, just my hopes ^_^
do kt not have teams in other games, or just BW? i really don't know as i don't follow korean e-sports other than brood war, but they might be running stuff that needs an overhaul. maybe.
CRT to lcd is more of a down grade though.. even if a 120hz lcd, its still much slowe than the 150-250 HZ crts can push through at BW resolution

So I remember asking in a LR thread,for the IPL it was I think,why they are playing on old CRT monitors and people told me that the new monitors can't handle the awesomeness off 640x480 So yea,from that I can't see why they would order new monitors for BW purposes.

Frankly, I hope so too. Maybe that's why all those BW pros were invited to BlizzCon? To show it to them first? Here's hoping.
