I remember when your name started becoming more known back in the day and then when I heard you were going to Korea I was all, "Who the fuck is this Cinci kid?". I still think one of my favorites was you vs Cobalt on LT where you exchanged bases.

Quite an amazing story. Grrrr is kickass .

Is Rekrul actually from the US then? Gah, the nationality thing can be so misleading sometimes. :/

Amazing! Manner Toast and owning Ajumas ftw! 5/5
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

I've heard you say that maybe 3 times now. Is this where you first learned it?

Answer me.

You always have the best stories. I'm so glad you share them with us once in a while. These windows into aspiring BW progamer life, or just life in Korea in general, are so great.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

Hmm I kinda learned it here. The first time I went to a club with Grrrr the waiter tried to rip us off and he argued for 30 mins fighting unreal to get the bill down was the first real example tho. That was the day the monster was truly born.
why so 진지해?

Great read! Grrrr the baller! I always knew he was one, but didn't realise the extent of it!

I've seen Elky play poker on TV before, how has Grrr been doing?

I had helped Elky practice for alot of his TV matches at this time. Not straight-up games, as I had slim chances, but he'd make me do exact build orders while he practiced a Barracks-float cheese vs. Terran on Bifrost.

lol is this the strategy he tried vs Boxer in the OSL?
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

Cool story bro.

No, seriously. It's nice to get a behind the scenes view at what things are like for gamers in Korea.
