As strange as it was. Like for me, seeing my old fav bw players play sc2 was a bit weird but good transition into easing my interest towards this new game. It makes sense from a marketing perspective but that doesn't necessarily determine a good sports concept. | ||

funny story: the last year i have been working for a gaming company who's office was like.. 5 minutes away from fomos office, walking. i was at the gym one morning changing and right as i get butt naked the ceo of fomos goes hi and i say o shit haha. and as i hurriedly get dressed we talk about the old days of bw and how LoL and SC2 are now lined up to take bw's place.. this was back in february btw. and it was sad, at least for me to see everyone was resigned to see bw go. =( i dont get wtf is going on at sc2.. these announcers are talking really fast per usual but i ono.. it's not the same. well, i think with this post i'll bid adieu to TL. but before i go, some things -- i know last year i caused a ruckus for about a week or so -- that was interesting, to say the least. no hard feelings on my part though, mostly because i think i learned a lot from that experience. especially this: WHAT you say is as important as HOW you say it, but maybe nothing is more important than WHEN you say it. seems like a trite old lesson but it's something that, when i look back on it now, is something i feel was vividly manifested with the maelstrom that ensued after the fomos article. since then, especially at work, i've found myself in similar situations where i felt passionately about my idea, but had to face the challenge of convincing my superiors to listen. And especially with the whole korean business culture, and with all communications occurring in korean, i found myself having to take a much more humble and conciliatory tone -- which is something that, if i could go back, i wish i could apply to the whole brouhaha that went down last year. for those that were curious, i wasn't really working at fomos full time, it was a part time thing so i coud get some translating experience. i wasn't even working at the office, i just got sent articles to translate and i did it from home or at a pc bang after dotaing. and it was fun for a bit, but fomos soon realized that the global site wasnt gonna work and (i think) superdanielman said peace and left for a diff company. at the same time, my teaching contract was ending (i was an esl teacher, had two months left) so i was out interviewing like mad, either for translating firms or gaming firms since i felt those were my two best strengths (sup untz!). and then i got lucky and got accepted at a gaming company, so i went to work there. and now... i'm 29 in korean years, feeling like way older with my gimp ankle, people pressuring me to get married -- gf's friend got married and VERY conspicuously threw the bouquet to her 3 times (cuz of the photographer) -- and fuk. i was hoping to have at least bw around always so when i had sleepless nights like i have right now, i could just vegetate peacefully to the action and knock out. now it's gone.. what else is gonna go? was watching clinton speak on the daily show yesterday, and that once-ageless philanderer looks so old now -- he's got what ten more years? and dota's gonna go on to dota2... sigh. waxing nostalgic at 2am -- excuse me. aite take care peoples it was fun while it lasted but pro bw is dead -- but hey, even now when you go to pc bangs after 10 pm, you'll see a lot of drunken younger people playing bw together, reliving the fun of old days. so it's not completely dead =) | ||

This whole thing was just a reminder that the only cool esports scene ever turned super dumb this year. esports is dumb I always wished I could have gone to a live BW match before it all ended too | ||

I remember watching it live in a super delirious state (being tired and drunk), and it was freaking awesome No, that was me. I was locked in the press room during the outage and did a live Ventrilo feed. | ||
