NeverGG, I appreciate your work _so_ much. I'm astounded by your inventiveness in finding new and interesting projects, by your immense qualities as a photographer, which are inspiring to me with my little sister wanting to become a professional photographer, and by your love and dedication to the Korean progamers. We all have some times when things look bad, and it is real hard for people from outside to help you then. The only advice I should give you is: take the time to find out what exactly is bad for you in your current situation. Because, when you know what it is, your subconsciousness and your feelings will know what is making you feel bad, and it will stop making the good things worse. My personal hunch is that your work with fomos is making you down. And if you don't mind me being frank, I thought that fomos was not the best place for you to work. I envision you working a lot better with daily esports. I'm not sure that I can support my hunch with a rational explanation, so take it with a grain of salt. Lastly, I'd like to comment on your projects specifically. The fan cafés are awesome. However, the idea of a fan café is a distinctly unwestern thought, and therefore rather unusual and strange to the majority of the TL community. I think with sufficient dedication, endurance, and a bit of marketing, they will become however a great success, creating a real standing for us with the Korean progamers (Violet's response strengthens my thoughts on this one. He was especially pleased to hear that the first foreign fan café was dedicated to him!), and creating a place for more personal fanship, which is at the moment a little lacking and unorganised at TL. I think the fan cafés provide in a distinct TL way for a need. The personal cards for Backho and Jaedong are brilliant, and I think that if used sparsely they will be one of the most appreciated things you can do here. People love to give support to progamers in need, but it is necessary to identify correctly who needs it. 100 cards projects, messages from --- projects: Now while I think these projects are fantastic, to be fair I've got a gut feeling that you should lessen on these a little. You've got so many of them running that it's easy to get overworked. Still, 100 cards for a team is awesome, and the messages from --- create a real connection between the progamers and the foreign community. Their worth is indisputable, but you are much more worth as a integral part of TL, with your photos and your captainship of hte fan cafés. I'm not sure how this can be solved, but maybe you can leave the brunt of the work to someone else? In the end, I've given you too much advice. Still I can't leave without giving my thoughts about the demographics of TL: I'm pretty sure many people here are strongly introvert or very shy. I assume this because a game like Starcraft is inherently appealing to introvert persons. Besides, and now I might be going a bit far, the Koreans themselves have a introvert and shy culture, attracting those in the west who are that as well. Also, following a game already ten years old is not something the usual extravert person would do. All I'm saying is: that we don't comment much does not at all mean that we don't appreciate you, on the contrary. I think all of TL, even Rekrul in his own bastard way, loves you, loves your work, and depend on it! Whatever you do, we think it is awesome, because it is. But we are still likely to silently sit behind the pc, reading everything and adoring your work, but keeping silent about it, simply because it seems unnecessary to encourage someone who is already doing real good. NeverGG, I'm a noob on these forums, and not even that much into starcraft. But I love this site and I love the progaming, and that all would only be possible with your dedicated, hard work. Please, please keep asking us for comments when you feel there is not enough, please make us work for your presents to us. | ||

We know everything about the lifestyle and we can anticipate every interview Q and A without reading it. It's just not too exciting anymore. You are a great photographer and that is awesome because it takes skill and talent to pull off but it's just not the most exciting coverage anymore. I've fallen outta love with the Korean sc politics. Personality has been taken from the players. The games are good but there isn't any drama I guess. Korean BW needs more drama. If you could arrange grudgematches that would be sick. I think the best thing NeverGG can do (and has been doing) is highlight the players' personalities. The official (fomos, etc.) interviews tend to be pretty lifeless and repetitive, but things like photo shoots and the 안녕하세요 series really do show another side to the players. Any spectator sport/game gets boring without storylines, so anything that helps with that is good for e-Sports. | ||
