Wait, so is Poongko actually attending EVO 2011? Last time I heard he wasn't going to... (as he said in the interview for Cross Counter with Gootecks)
Yeah, I'm not 100% sure what he meant by that. That's just what he seemed to imply though, so I don't know.
CAPCOM Korea tournament with Poongko, Tokido, Laugh, and Infiltration. Started about an hour ago.

Yea, I want to see him at EVO as well. It seems like the whole community now is hyping to jump on Poongko's dick as of this moment in time.
Sort of reminds me of last year leading up to SoCal Regionals where everyone was jumping on Sakonoko's dick, but the Sako dickriding came to an instant end after Justin Wong bodied him TWICE. Justin beat Sako in Winners to send him to losers and then beat him again in losers to eliminate Sako from the tournament.
But before his encounter with Justin, Sako seemed almost to be the inevitable winner of SCR due to the fact that he beat Daigo in Godsgarden 2. On top of that, Mago was the only one who Sako lost to in Godsgarden and Mago wasn't going to attend SCR. With those factors in mind, people were screaming out on the top of their lungs about how Sako was going to take home SCR for free; but then look what happened. All the hype going to Sako and he ends up getting bodied by one of the most made-fun-of players in the history of SF.
Now I can't say for certainty that the same story will happen to Poongko as no one can accurately predict what will happen if he actually decides to come to EVO; but people who remember all the hype and the hordes of people jumping onto the Sako dickriding bandwagon will notice a similarity between these two instances.
Well it was pretty much the same thing in 2009. I don't know if eventhubs was even around back then but there were tons of footage of poongko's Ryu and SRK was hyping him up big time. I think there were even reports that he said he was gonna body Daigo. Then the Gamestop tournament happened and Poongko lost to everyone. Badly. Now he's starting to build his hype back up.
@12 Sako is awesome at combos but it takes him a while to read his opponents and that is his downfall.
It's not like Poongko came out of nowhere. He's been the best seth since last year, no doubt. Because of the fact that he's young and poor, he hasn't been able to travel to proove himself. Well, SS changed all that and people jump on his dick now. He deserves it, though. Why he hasn't got a sponsor yet is beyond me.
Just wondering how were some of the Japanese players, Gamerbee and Poongko able to travel to Melbourne, Australia because the cost of living / competing in Melbourne would be the same as the evo trip? (Strong Australia)
Why didn't they save up for the more reputable Evo tournament? Or did shadoloo pay for their attendance?
Is it me or does every match PoongKO has ends up in a comeback? A gold mine.

Shredder claims that Poognko confirmed he was coming to EVO-2011. I don't know how read korean, so I cannot confirm it for sure.
I saw a Poongko Vs. Wildcat815 earlier today. It was glorious. Although I wanted Wilcat815 to win.. :P
