The secret is out: Street Fighter player Lee "Poongko" Chung-Gon finally has a
sponsor.
答案揭曉:快打旋風玩家李"poongko"忠坤終於有了贊助
Team Secret announced on Monday that the organization had signed South Korea’s
Poongko to its roster as the Europe-based team’s first Street Fighter player.
Terms of the agreement were not immediately available.
週一時Team Secret這個歐洲電競隊宣佈簽下南韓玩家poongko
作為他們第一個快打選手 合約內容暫時未知
Poongko is known for the quality of both his play and his flamboyance. He
famously chugged a can of Red Bull and threw it into the crowd before a match
with Umehara Daigo at Evo 2011—a match he ended with a perfect round—and he
has a tendency to remove his shirt to power-up his play.
浮誇的打法使Poongko著名
EVO2011對上梅原時他喝下一罐紅牛後把罐子丟向觀眾 然後打了一場漂亮的比賽
他會把衣服脫掉來增強自己的力量
But he’s not just a showman. He has made the top eight of an Evo tournament
four times, twice in the Street Fighter 4 series and twice in Street Fighter X
Tekken. He scored two victories on last year’s Capcom Pro Tour and finished
fourth at the most recent Capcom Cup.
但他不只是個愛秀的人 他有4次進入evo前八強 2次進入快打4八強 兩次進入鐵拳八強
他去年在Capcom Pro Tour拿了兩次優勝 最近一次Capcom Cup拿了第四名
The signing comes amid a bit of a rocky start for Poongko’s 2016 season. He
finished tied for 25th at Final Round and tied for 49th at NorCal Regionals. He
’ll have a pair of high-profile chances to right the ship over the next few
weeks, as he’ll compete at Red Bull Kumite on April 24 and at Street Fighter 5
Crash the following weekend.
在2016賽季開始不久Poongko的起步有點不順利 他在Final Round並列25名
NorCal Regionals並列49名 他近期將有兩個不錯的機會提高紀錄
他會參加4月24的Red BullKumite以及下週的Street Fighter 5 Crash
Poongko had been without a traditional sponsor for quite some time. Most of his
international travel over the past year has been crowdfunded by fighting game
subreddi r/kappa. He played under the subreddit’s banner throughout all of
the 2015 Capcom Pro Tour and the first events of 2016, even when he attended
events on his own dime. Japanese players Furushima “Pepeday” Yudai and Kondo
“KitasenjuDJ” Gaku have also been regular beneficiaries of r/kappa
fundraising drives.
他已經有好一段時間沒有贊助商 去年大部分的國際賽事大部分都是從subreddit募資
並冠名r/kappa 有時候自己自費 日本玩家Furushima “Pepeday”Yudai以及
Kondo“KitasenjuDJ”Gaku也是r/kappa募資的受惠者
Poongko’s addition to the team is part of a recent spree of signings by Team
Secret. In the past month, the organization signed Super Smash Bros. Melee
player Otto “Silent Wolf” Bisno, added Saahil “Universe” Arora and Artour “
Arteezy” Babaev to its Dota 2 team, and brought the all-female Counter-Strike:
Global Offensive Team WeRunThisPlace under its banner.
Team Secret最近簽下不少選手 上個月簽下了Super Smash Bros Melee玩家
Otto“Silent Wolf”Bisno
Dota2玩家Saahil“Universe”Arora和Artour“Arteezy”Babaev
還把全女性的CS全球攻勢戰隊WeRunThisPlace收羅到旗幟下
