Really nice blog-series Carn! I really wonder if it isn't better for you to chase your progamer dream here in Europe. There are a few things I noticed:
1) Alot of koreans come to EU and NA tournaments
2) There are more sc2 tournaments in EU and NA then in Korea
3) The competition is less "agressive": there are much more tournaments (both online and offline), so you get much more chances. In Korea you got the GSL. You got very few shots to qualify.
4) In Europe you could live with your parents, which means that you would get a much better practice environment (unless you succeed in joining a Korean prohouse). I got the feeling your practice environment isn't that good atm.

Imo you should compete here in Europe. If you can compete with the non-koreans, then a good team will pick you up, and you will be able to attend alot of tournaments.

Good luck!

Cool story about Dimaga and his win against NesTea :D I love these kinds of blogs. Gives great insight into the preparations made before a big game such as the ZvZ Dimaga had to play against NesTea in the World Championships. Good stuff!

considering the recent scandals about foreign teams stealing Korean players, this is a very bold statement:

"When he got out, the StarTale coach approached him to know if he would like to stay a bit more in Korea as he really wanted DIMAGA to join them and was ready to offer a lot for this to happen, "

don't even know what to comment really
ask, and you shall have asked

Wow, I was staying in Hongdae as well for a while. Which guesthouse was this? I was in the Comeinn guest house. Funny how I know exactly all the places you're talking about! Really nice blog! I actually met Tasteless on the subway on his way to GOMstudios once at Hongdae station.
