Known as the 'Kart Emperor', multiple-time Kart Rider champion Moon Ho-jun has joined StarTale as both a SC2 and KR player.

Debuting in 2007, Moon Ho-jun has become Kart Rider's answer to BoxeR, dominating the professional scene in Korea since the age of 10. In a statement released by StarTale and Moon Ho-jun, he will play both SC2 and KR in parallel at the professional level.

Moon Ho-jun will move into the StarTale practice house in Incheon and hopes he will able to show results in both games.

EDIT: He plays Protoss.
and his ID is probably lllllllllll (not joking). We'll have to wait for StarTale to release their rosters to find out what magical new ID he will choose.

Kart Rider design is pretty equivalent to Mario Kart. Doubt the skills needed in that game are going to carry over.

What race is he going to play?

It's your typical racing game with cute MapleStory tier design + crazy powerups/items.

He will play protoss, playing protoss is like driving with one hand.

Oh really? I wonder if there is a reason that only a very few protoss players are able to succeed in code S. Probably because protoss actually has the highest skill cap, so only the very best are able to reach that level.

In all seriousness now, I wouldn't be surprised if he does succeed. I feel like being good at this game comes down to being able to practice and knowing how to learn from the practice, which clearly he can already do if he is a KR legend.

It will be cool to see what he can achive. Ive never followed Kart Rider, but watched some vids way back and was amazed by the speed. If he's been dominating such a fast paced game since he was ten, he obviously has serious talent to tap into. This will be very exciting, but juggling two completely different games is really hard tho. KR might be akin to fast paced FPS like q3/qlive where the best players only have to do a couple of hours of practice every day to stay at the top.

Best of luck to him!

The starcraft 2 scene was a farce before his switch. Finally we will see proper play.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

I thought that Kart Riding meant real Go-Kart Riding.
