"What is this? Starcraft?"
Just thought it's interesting to note how ESPORTS can be mentioned on a national number 1 weekend program without anyone not getting the joke :3
proof Starcraft is a national sport in Korea

5/5 Edit: Also, remember that time with the artillery bombardments, when the Defense Secretary told the press that retaliation took some time, because "real situation is not like starcraft, where you can shoot back instantly." Taken from this thread. | ||

Perhaps instead of "I drank too much soju last night." it would be "I over-stimmed on the soju last night."

And like a baller, the man looks at her with a straight face and replies, "Yes. It is." | ||

I wonder if idiomatic phrases related to StarCraft have/will become part of the Korean lexicon; in the same way that in the US, one can say something like, "I really hit that interview out of the park."

Alas, I'm not familiar enough with old BW maps to figure this out. | ||

I've heard from some places (Rekrul's Korea Story mainly) that Starcraft isn't as big as we think it is in korea, but it's being referenced on major TV shows? And that comedy skit with unit impressions was fucking hilarious, but it looks like everybody in the audience got the joke. It's like wrestling. If someone referenced wrestling, you'd know what it is, you just don't have to be a follower. | ||

She's "the gamer" of the group, I hear. She's also my favourite, but that's another story... and if she's an avid e-sports fan, she might just top my personal favourite list again (she was de-throned by IU last year). <333 | ||
