Turns out that I can't play the Korean Starcraft 2.

Why? Becuase I don't have a Korean social security number.

I also tried to go to the GomTV studio to watch the opening day of season 4, which was something I had been hyping myself up for for several weeks prior. Showed up 15 minutes late after it started at the headquarters only to find out that it wasn't taking place there anymore. I travelled all the way to literally the opposite end of the Seoul subway system to get there, too. Costed me a pretty penny at the card swipe, too, because once you go past 10 stations, they charge 100원 extra per station after.

suicide seems like an appealing idea at this point

Sorry about the GSl man, but persit with PC bang just ask if you can play on thier accounts they normally let you. They normally want to keep you there spending money buying food more than they care about you playing on thier normally unused SC2 accounts, just ask.

The additional subway fee depends on the distance, not the number of stations o_o

SO why wasn't the GSL held there? Wasn't there someone who also waited for like an hour only to find out it isn't held there?
