+ Show Spoiler + Jangbi Before I could grow too old for games I fell in love with professional StarCraft. It has been a rock for me and something that has kept my attention through its entire existence. I lead an unhappy, anxious life, but whenever I watched BW I could leave those feelings behind and marvel at the dedication and genius of the greatest minds StarCraft ever found. There have been so many times when I was utterly frustrated with TL only to find myself months gone by without posting a word suddenly watching a game of BW I was so excited about I just couldn't resist using the only outlet a BW foreign writer has. That's how powerful the emotions this game brings out in me are. I cannot help but express my love for this game. It is one of three long lasting passions I've held in my heart. It sounds corny and there's a lot of people rolling their eyes, but you do not know how much the pro scene meant to me. From the fortune of someone outside my immediate family, I was able to see countless NHL games which never captured my spirit, which I always felt the pressure of pretending to be interested in for the sake of politeness. So much of my life is just pretending to be interested, smiling and nodding to build contacts and try to find some miserable foothold where I can earn my keep. But BW I am and have always been genuinely excited about, genuinely engrossed in, genuinely moved by. It's no fake smile or forced sadness. One of three things that can make me feel this way, and in two days it will be gone. I like playing BW and I like watching a good replay, but if I'm completely honest the thing I was really in love with was the proscene. I know it's self-obsessed to talk like this (not really the first time I have on TL), but I wanted to write out my feelings on this. It seems like I would regret not saying anything in the rapidly escaping time before the final. | ||
