Thought I'd share a few photos that I took yesterday at PL:

It's good that they finally have jackets. It's far too cold to be wearing just that thin shirt.

Jaedong is kind of... ridiculously popular. As in, I couldn't get anywhere near him because he was swarmed by 30 or 40 fangirls all trying to stuff his hands with gifts. He couldn't even hold them in the end and kept dropping things.

Unfortunately, the fangirls blocked pretty much the entire pathway, so I couldn't find Sea and Baby either

11.12.11

Second Intra-house tournament, 1st place: Jaedong. 2nd place: Sea.
Coach Joo has rewarded 5 random Korean fans who guessed the right placing with movie tickets.

Competition within the team is fierce. The previous tournament was won by Killer, with 22 wins from 32 games played. The second placed player in the previous tournament had 21 wins and 1st to 5th placed players were separated by only 1-2 wins between each position.

Update 10.12.11

It's Tyson's birthday today and the team held a small celebration party for him in the hostel. The players are also in the midst of their second intra-house tournament. The results will be released later.

Happy Birthday Subeom! <3

I've just come back from Korea and while I was there, I went to the vs KT and vs Ace game. I didn't know that there would be fan meeting after the games but saw people waiting so I waited. Thanks to the nice Korean fans, they even ask the players for me to get photos with them. Here're some photos I took at the games/fan meetings.

-----------------------------------------------------------

According to Coach Han, in the Team 8 "family-tree", the following pairs of players regard each other as contemporaries (of the same age). From the oldest group to the youngest group:

Jaehoon and Jaedong
Sea and Tyson
Killer and Sang
Baby, Speed and Ryul2

Yesterday, the players also took a short break and they ate mandu (dumplings) at night.

Update 6.12.11

Pictures from today's fan-meeting. Tyson's birthday is on Saturday so some of his fans gave him presents today. The players may also be getting their winter jackets and keyboard bags this week.

Update 4.12.11

No results from the Sea v Killer off-race match yet. Why? Because the number of games keep increasing. At first it was supposed to be just one game, then it became a Bo5, now it's a Bo7. Will it finally end today??

Update 3.12.11

Jaedong tweeted this picture of Sang:

+ Show Spoiler +

The team also played some off-race games yesterday. Sea as zerg played Killer as protoss. Who do you think won that game? The answer will be revealed later today.

Update 1.12.11

The players took a break yesterday. It's back to practicing today.

Update 29.11.11

Pictures from the Team 8 fan-meeting today. Only Jaedong pics so far.

Update 26.11.11

Fan pictures from today's match. The players look so sad.

Team 8 haven't been given any winter jackets yet, so they wore their own.

Update 24.11.11

Before he went to bed, Killer tweeted this picture of Tyson and Baby with the comment:
"My handsome and cute roommates ㅋㅋㅋ".

Actually Tyson looks funny in this picture. Reminds me of when Tyson used to room with Hyun at MBC. Laughter and gags every day.

Update 23.11.11

Coach Han tweeted this picture. He pointed out that in the background Tyson is surfing the internet during a break, looking at a picture of a female celebrity.

-------------------------------------------

So the results from the psychological tests Coach Joo had his players go through came out last week. They were tested on things like concentration levels, psychological readiness, confidence etc. Apparently Jaedong's results were similar to Boxer's and Sea's scores showed a similar pattern to oov's.

I don't quite get the purpose of these tests (comparing them to his old SKT team doesn't make sense to me either), unless he's playing mind games with Coach Park, but there you go.

Update 21.11.11

Rooming arrangements in the hostel

First room: Sea, Jaedong, Jaehoon
Next room: Baby, Tyson, Killer
Smallest room: Sang, Ryul2, Speed

Update 18.11.11

One fan sent Team 8 a box of red ginseng. It's quite expensive. This picture was tweeted by Coach Joo.

Update 16.11.11

Coach Joo had his players undergo some sort of psychological testing and the results are still under analysis. He'll reveal further details later.

Update 15.11.11

Team 8 beat STX 5-2 in the football match. Killer wore Shark's hood-tee to the match.

Killer wins Team 8's first intra-house tournament

New resolutions from Jaedong

Update 14.11.11

This week, Team 8 will play both an evaluation match against STX Soul and also a game of football against them.

Update 12.11.11

Apparently Jaehoon and Tyson took one of Shark's hood-tees and then Jaehoon gave it to Killer. Shark found out after he saw Killer wearing it in a picture taken by Fomos yesterday. lol

Shark to Killer: "Jun Oh yah, the hood-tee that you're wearing in the picture from the Fomos interview .. it's mine, so why is it there?? ^^"

Killer to Shark: "ㅋㅋㅋㅋheok that's yours hyung? Jaehoon hyung gave it to me~ puhahaha"

Sea to Shark: "ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋKim Jaehoon Park Subeom......"

Shark to Sea: "I was surprised..... whatㅋㅋ"

Shark to Killer: ""Kim Jaehoon what's up with you!!!!!!!ㅋㅋ About 10 years ago my aunt bought that for me from the USㅋㅋ wear it well^^"

The hood-tee in question is THIS

Also, check out Sea's new hair

Update 11.11.11

According to Coach Joo, Killer won the team's first intra-house tournament.

The date for Team 8's opening match is not confirmed yet:

Random fan to Coach Han: "Team 8's opening match is on the 19th, is that correct?"
Coach Han: "No, the date has yet to be confirmed, it could also be on the 26th."

Update 10.11.11

Coach Joo tweeted that the team's opening match is against SKT on the opening day and their second match is against KT on Tuesday. O.O He says for official confirmation, wait for the release of the full schedule for further details.

---------------------------------------------------
Director Joo Hoon tweeted a picture of the Dream Team a couple hours ago. Sea is not in the picture because he went to see a dermatologist. The picture was taken after they had their lunch.

Standing, left to right:
Tyson, Jaehoon, Jaedong, Coach Han, Speed, Ryul2, Sang.

Bottom: Killer and Baby.

These pictures were taken by Tyson last Friday. All the pictures were taken in front of the Dream Team hostel in Itaewon, Yongsan-gu.

Some interesting things about the team

09.11.11

Coach Han:
"It's 3am in the morning and Bo Sung [Sea] has gone to sleep... the [rest of the] players haven't gone to sleep."
"Ah Bo Sung is totally an early-morning person, once it's past 12am, he's into sleep mode ㅎ."

Their new uniforms are in production, no idea what they look like though.

Tyson: "Cute Taeyang." (he tweets a picture of Baby)
Ggaemo: "Subam you're cuter"
Tyson: "?ㅋ"
Ggaemo: "Subam ah, if you and I were on the same team, we'd get along so well... what a pity..."
Coach Han to Tyson: "You have me ㅋㅋㅋ"
Ggaemo to Coach Han: "Please take good care of Subamㅋㅋ through kickboxing sparring ㅋㅋㅋ"
Tyson: "heok heok .. please be gentle with me..♥ "

Edit:
There's a tv show in the MBC torrent called "Supper Drop". You can see Coach Han arm-wrestling in the episode on Hwaseung Oz.

Coach Han looks pretty badass, I'm still trying to wrap my head around them all being on the same team. It's kind of weird seeing them all together. Love the pictures, the area they live in looks kinda nice too

Thanks for posting Ryo!

I just realized there's no space between "Dream" and "Team". -_-

Their apartment complex sure seems nice.

Edit:
And about Coach Han, he sure did not look like that in his playing days lol Some of his matches are available from the MBC torrent (part 3).

Can't for next season's LeeSsangRok. Jaedong's new practice partners with Flash's condition back at 100% ultimate. Bringing us possibly the sickest ZvT game(s) ever witnessed.
