Pictures of Yellow, mentions of progaming representation/agency
Particularly interested because some big name BW gamers have been sponsored by them, notably Bisu and Hero, who have their logo prominently displayed during Afreeca streams. I just checked some other big names (Ssak, Mong, Killer, Sea, Larva, Shuttle, Movie), and don't see the Kongdoo logo
Perhaps some boutique e-sports reps for promotions, endorsements (Bisu's face in a Korean TV commercial?!) and organizing new tournaments? Figures crossed!
If I'm not wrong its a company set up by Yellow and two other members (one is a prominent e-sports caster, one is game developer) that aims to help the broodwar pros now that the KeSPA has moved onto supporting SCII.
Basically its an eSF for Broodwar.
EDIT : They also hosted the Kongdoo Stars Party where 6 BW pros (including Yellow) competed in.
I mostly agree, though Jaedong (more so) and Nal_Ra (less so) being there is a little odd since they are very active and relatively succesful in their non-BW fields.
