Le R16 pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, c'est l'un des plus gros battle du monde alors que c'est seulement la 2ème édition. Pourquoi?

Parce qu'il réunit les "meilleures" équipes du monde, parce que l' organisation est énorme (le battle est soutenu par l' Etat sud-coréen) et qu'il est sans doute le plus ambitieux. Vous n' avez d' ailleurs qu' à visiter leur site pour vous rendre compte du professionnalisme de l' événement.

Voici les mots de Darkness à propos de cette séparation:

Separation of Activities (please read calmly)
Firstly, I’d like to say that I feel very apologetic to convey this news to the members of the Gambler Fan Website, to bboy manias and to Gambler fans. But I write this in the hope that if you could just read what I have to say, then you would understand.
Everything started in 2002.
My life was full of so many ups and downs.
Gambler was…
The main six members of the officially formed Gambler was Jung-dae Kim (Music), Kyung-ho Chang (Darkness), Se-bin Oh, Kwang-sun Lee (Lazer), Ji-Hoon Park (Still) and Kyu-Sang Shin (Bruce Lee). These were the people who have worked into making Gambler what it is today (So and The End (KYS) were regional members).
Due to B-boy Music’s hiatus from dancing, I changed Gambler to Gamblerz Crew and managed it myself until today.
Meanwhile, Music, Sebin and Lazer came back, and we began to dance under our original name of Gambler.
B-boy Music was the original founder of Gambler, and it’s no exaggeration to say that the history of Gambler began with him. You can tell how important he was in our crew just by the fact that he chose the main six members himself. He left Gambler temporarily to pursue other activities, but he has returned to reform the group, and I feel that my status as the representative of Gamblerz Crew speaks for itself. Sebin, also one of the original members of Gambler – he went on to form Maximum Crew – and a b-boy who has shared many glorious moments with Gambler, has decided to rejoin us too. And the legend of headspins, the subject of much curiosity to many fans, B-boy Lazer is also joining us and will be dancing under our original name ‘Gambler.’
The current 13 members of Gamblerz Crew will dance separately from us, and will continue to follow each of their ideals and move forward to achieve their goals. They will each face their own new challenges and I truly hope that their dreams will be realized.
‘Gambler’s’ motto is ‘Happy b-boying.’
It’s also ‘enjoy b-boying,’ but I want to define it as ‘happy b-boying.’ Happy B-boying! Isn’t this the fundamental reason why we all dance?
I start with a fresh mind, to make a b-boying scene where not only Gambler but all Korean b-boys can be happy and can enjoy b-boying; hoping to upgrade the Korean b-boying scene and to help it develop more in terms of the b-boying spirit, so that more people can learn about b-boying and understand it, approach it and enjoy it, and find happiness in that enjoyment; so that everyone can pursue happy b-boying. In order to do that, I would need all of your support.
In accordance with our motto of Happy B-boying, Gambler will respect each member’s private life and activity. For example ,Sebin and I have made a team called ‘MoSt mOdeRn’ where we will attempt more experimental and bold b-boying, making it an art form. We will dance as both Gambler and MoSt mOdeRn and continue to pursue a better life as b-boys.
Other members will continue to dance under their respective crews (Able, Battler, Super Dream Team, All-Star Breakers, etc); we have come together to dance as Gambler because we want to be happy.
Gambler, which I will be running, has some different founding concepts than other teams, and will be an experimental system.
The current Gamblerz Crew (main members being centered on Still, Bruce Lee and SoulSoy, with So, The End, and the members who have joined since) will continue to dance as one crew and will pursue not only b-boying but their own individual dreams. I completely understand their decisions.
I hope that they will continue to do well in international battles and spread the name of Gamblerz Crew and Korea around the world. They have really worked amazingly hard and are great b-boys. I hope you will give them your unending support and cheer, and continue to do so.
I guess you’re all bewildered at this sudden situation.

Pour résumer et en français ;) Darkness annonce donc que Gambler et Gamblerz seront 2 groupes distincts. Le premier composé des membres originaux de Gambler (Darkness, Music, Sebin et Lazer) et l’autre s’appellera Gamblerz (avec notamment, KYS, Bruce Lee…etc)

Les Jabbawockeez ont gagné le premier titre de AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW!

America's Best dance crew est une émission américaine dont la première saison a été diffusé sur MTV. C'est en fait un battle chorégraphique qui est produit par Randy Jackson de American Idol (la Nouvelle Star américaine).

A priori, le jury était plutôt discutable:

• La rappeuse Lil Mama
• Un ex chanteur des N'Sync: JC Chasez
• Un chorégraphe Hip Hop Shane Sparks 

mais ils ont fait le bon choix et ont couronné les JabbaWockeeZ dont on connaît surtout Rainen.

A quand une émission comme ça en France?
