Fair enough they're good at the game, some of the best in the world, but why cant they go get their own dam food? MMA nearly fainted cos he was dehydrated and you all run round trying to get him a drink? slap him in the face and tell him to get himself a drink. You did an awesome job, but it seems like you spent more time chasing round doing little errands for the players instead of giving interviews and enjoying yourself. Id be pissed tbh if i were you.... | ||

Okay I want you to go to a country where no one speaks English and try and survive there for 3 days and still be in top condition for the games. Honestly feeling foreign and separated from the environment is a terrible thing. Also I would also have more respect for you if you actually read what I wrote properly too. I know stories of people who came to America from China/Korea and they only ordered really basic stuff for the entire time they were here because their English wasn't very good. Honestly their english is likely at their level with the exception of MC who learned quickly since he's been around on foreign countries a lot more. This was the first time any of these countries left Korea and I was more than happy to make sure they were taken care of having a good time. I was more than happy to make sure the players were okay and that they were in top condition and making sure they were having a good time here. I made my job to be to take care of the Korean players the best I could because it would give a great impression for MLG and for Global e-sports in general. I dunno why you say I should be pissed or anything since I'd be more pissed if I wasn't allowed to take care of them ~_~ Think of it in terms of global e-sports. You want to make sure the Korean players have a great time here. This is why MLG Columbus was a very important event overall since I believe that the Korean players finally saw the Global scene for themselves and showed them that there was something solid here in terms of fans and competition. If you let them be on their own and not take care of them then it gives a negative impression of e-Sports overall. | ||

How much have changed? I mean surely you must think from an e-sports point of view that it is great but how about gameplay? Do you still find it lackluster and inferior to BW and did this MLG change your opinion in any way? | ||

I have seen you around on Team Liquid as a pretty hardcore BW fan, and (I apologise if I'm wrong about this) I am under the impression you disliked SC2. Like you were part of the crowd that would generaly criticize the gameplay, the mechanics etc. of SC2. How much have changed? I mean surely you must think from an e-sports point of view that it is great but how about gameplay? Do you still find it lackluster and inferior to BW and did this MLG change your opinion in any way? I don't think I ever criticized the SC2 mechanics, mostly because I actually like it and I really wish BW had stuff like MBS and unlimited unit selection etc (although I don't like how units auto surround). I still find BW more entertaining to watch overall. I watched SC2 games bit by bit throughout and was disappointed nearly every time... except until TSL and I really liked every game in TSL. That was the event that gave me hope that SC2 might turn into something solid and without TSL I probably would not have been interested in the MLG position. SC2 still has ways to go, but it's getting there. Watching MMA play was amazing. I don't care if he shift queued or used SC2 mechanics either since every Korean player played really exciting games at MLG. | ||

She kept pointing at MMA and calling him gosu and pointed to MC and Idra "they shit, you gosu" over and over again. MMA jokingly responded "I broke the orbital command as a handicap for Idra" Eventually Idra's gf went and we were like "Welcome to America" Eventually the players headed back. Sooo eventually the players headed back and I met with the MLG staff and thanked them for making everything go smoothly and then I headed back. Whew.rofl, soo good. u rock milkis! | ||

They can hardly speak english, of course they need some help. Also a tournament like MLG is very stressful, especially if the players are jet-lagged. Read about Thorzain's experience in his fan thread, he had a really bad experience at Columbus and it is doubtful if he attends the next MLG because of it. And Thorzain can speak English. | ||

WHAT THE FUCK. They are invited into America for the first time in their lives with no way to communicate and if you were in milkis's shoes you would "slap MMA in the face and tell him to get himself a drink"? To top it off they are the star players in an growing scene in North America and you get pissed because milkis is a good host and translator? Your post demonstrates that you lack compassion at a completely basic human level... or the fact that you would show aggression towards them displays your xenophobic views towards people that don't look like you or speak like you. Being a 22 year-old kid from the UK supports these theories, yes? Unbelievable. | ||
