The secret is out: Street Fighter player Lee "Poongko" Chung-Gon finally has a
sponsor.
答案揭晓:快打旋风玩家李"poongko"忠坤终于有了赞助
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.
周一时Team Secret这个欧洲电竞队宣布签下韩国玩家poongko
作为他们第一个快打选手 合约内容暂时未知
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.
浮夸的打法使Poongko著名
EVO2011对上梅原时他喝下一罐红牛后把罐子丢向观众 然后打了一场漂亮的比赛
他会把衣服脱掉来增强自己的力量
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.
但他不只是个爱秀的人 他有4次进入evo前八强 2次进入快打4八强 两次进入铁拳八强
他去年在Capcom Pro Tour拿了两次优胜 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赛季开始不久Poongko的起步有点不顺利 他在Final Round并列25名
NorCal Regionals并列49名 他近期将有两个不错的机会提高纪录
他会参加4月24的Red BullKumite以及下周的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.
他已经有好一段时间没有赞助商 去年大部分的国际赛事大部分都是从subreddit募资
并冠名r/kappa 有时候自己自费 日本玩家Furushima “Pepeday”Yudai以及
Kondo“KitasenjuDJ”Gaku也是r/kappa募资的受惠者
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最近签下不少选手 上个月签下了Super Smash Bros Melee玩家
Otto“Silent Wolf”Bisno
Dota2玩家Saahil“Universe”Arora和Artour“Arteezy”Babaev
还把全女性的CS全球攻势战队WeRunThisPlace收罗到旗帜下
