https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pBCKHmS2t0 This past weekend SNL Korea parodied Counter-Strike
w88 and featured appearances from top StarCraft players. Gaming giants Hong Jin-Ho (aka “YellOw”) and Lim Yohwan (aka “BoxeR”) made special guest appearances on SNL Korea

in South Korea regarding gaming.
This isn’t the first time YellOw appeared on SNL. He was in a previous SNL Korea skit, which you can watch
below. It’s a prequel of sorts to this latest sketch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b17Y2IKV-r8 SNL Korea – Counter Strike 2: Imjin War [Bumdidlyumptious@YouTube] SNL Korea – GTA Military 2 [Bumdidlyumptious@YouTube Thanks, Landon!] To contact the author of this post, write to bashcraftATkotaku.com or find him on Twitter
