Pro Gaming gossip

[s]korea[/s]Well well, my last gossip post was about the clans all over the world in the StarCraft-scene, where I talked about different transfers and such. Now, when we move to the beloved South Korea, I'll throw on as much superlative and 'whoa' as possible. Let's start!

Toona SG & NaDa Korea NaDa recently made a three year contract with his pro gaming team Toona SG, which gave him €365.092. Apart from that, the Toona SG dormitory and office will get a full makeover, plus the popular Starcraft van, with 11 seats. The reason for this is that Toona SG found themselves a new sponsor, Qantech & Curitel, another telecom company. It seems like the companies have figured out how great PR this is for them. Just imagine, the SKY ProLeague final with the 100,000+ audience will see their favourite pro gamers wearing the suit with the sponsor's logo.

This is very much like the contract SK T1 wrote with Boxer's team, read all about it » here. What will happen next?
Hexatron DreamTeamWell, it just happened! My favourite team Hexatron DreamTeam (because of all the foreign pro gamers) had a photo shoot over at a shopping mall called Renissance. This gave the Hexatron DreamTeam about €79.040, and perhaps some new styling tips?

Interview with Rekrul about the photo shoot and some other stuffRaistlin: Was this what you'd expected when you went to Korea? Photo shoots at a mall where you get styled up with these awesome clothes?

Rekrul: I had no idea what this place would be like really, I mean I thought I did...but I never imagined this. Even up until they started putting all kinds of outfits on us I didn't realize how big the photo shoot was. I thought we'd just go in there and they'd snap a few photos of us in our casual clothes and our hexatron suits and we'd be on our way.Raistlin: Was this a positive surprise? The photos turned out great IMO, what did you think? Maybe a new look for you? ;)

Rekrul: lol you've only seen three of them, there are many many more to come. I'm not embarassed or anything, though it was kinda weird. And NO not a new look. I agree they all look good, though I hated my second slicked sideways hairstyle that was in those pictures. I had some weird slicked forwards hairstyle at first and that wasn't half bad. But, all in all the photoshoot was for the better!Raistlin: Cool. So, what's up next for Hexatron and you? Any tournament, league or something?

Rekrul: I will be releasing another report on the pG site very soon, so I won't give many details here, but I got another courage tournament tomorrow in Pusan. Me Assem and )na(Pro are going together and Danby/Jelka/Said will all be there as well.Raistlin: Last question; Who's your best pal in the Hexatron team?

Rekrul: I get along with all the white guys really well (and it helps that they speak english), but for the Koreans I'd say Lovedom and Gundam and of course Elky.Raistlin: Okay. Good luck in your tournament tomorrow, and keep us posted!

Rekrul: TY I will!
