Full article: ThisIsGame (Korean)
AZUBU has hired former Brood War pro-gamer and MBCGame announcer IntoTheRain as their StarCraft 2 head coach. IntoTheRain was one of the earliest pro-gamers, and was at his best around 2000~2001, famous for two-base timing rushes in PvZ back in the days where everyone was getting destroyed by lurker containment.
In addition, AZUBU have also brought on OnGameNet caster Son Dae Young as a new League of Legends coach. Both of them will be appearing on AZUBU TV, a new venture that will be unveiled in the future.
At the time, viOLet is the only StarCraft II player on AZUBU. There were no specific mentions about AZUBU's plans to expand their StarCraft II team in the article. |

| Not sure I understand having a coach for only one player. Hopefully AZUBU adds a couple more to the roster! |

| While they didn't say anything specific about adding new players, I imagine they have to be planning to add some now that they have a head coach |

PvZ--so it's not into the Rainbow--and definitely not HopeTorture. Good luck to the new coach and viOLet.
I guess he could have changed races, but mentioning his season 1 finals vs Fruitdealer would have basically been obligatory, if it was him.Last edit: 2012-10-16 13:34:17 |

| Seeing them pick a sc2 coach is really promising they'll begin acquiring more korean talent. can't wait to see what happens with them in the future and hope to see azubu grow and succeed. |

Azubu did pretty darn well recently in S2 LoL, so perhaps with that backing they'll expand their sc2 team. Feels like they wouldn't get a coach otherwise.
Always happy to see a potential new team pop up. Then again, still waiting for MC to get a SK team. |

| Holy Crap! I remember this guy from ages ago. Him and Nada had some sick ass games. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone check out some old BW vods of Nada vs IntoTheRain. He was also IntoTheRainbOw's mentor IIRC. Good pick up |

...which was why I mentioned...he could have changed races (from BW to SC2, if it was ITRainbow). I'm merely pointing out the similarity of the names, and I find it curious that no distinction was made. One of the things I've heard most about Rainbow was that he was "old school" BW, so how am I supposed to know if that meant 2001 or 2005 or whatever.
Edit: And for the record, I did figure it out, I was mostly just enjoying the curiosity of such similar names.Last edit: 2012-10-16 13:55:36 |

Kind of strange to get IntoTheRain, but cool nonetheless. I wonder how much experience he actually has with SC2.

IntoTheRainbow aka HopeTorture aka ST_Rainbow was mentored by IntoTheRain in BW. Last edit: 2012-10-16 13:56:05 |
