Is Starcraft scene in Korea oversaturated right now?

There is a lot of players under teams like azubu that we rarely hear about, do they live with the team and practice a lot? Or are they just casual players.

Thanks for the(?) grammatical corrections!
As a non-native speaker the hardest part is "article" (the / a)
I also confuse those things (that/which , who/whom)
Since Korean language doesn't have "present perfect", Sometimes I confuse with "past"
ex) I have purchased HOTS!
ex) I purchased HOTS!

By the way, I'm going to post my feelings at the past tournaments !
It will start with 2010 GSL open season 1! hope you guys are enjoyed

Your English is great! I'd love to achieve your level of fluency in a foreign language one day, but I don't see it happening. T__T

"Thanks for the grammatical corrections!" = correct, because you are talking about the specific grammatical corrections that people have made for you in this thread.

"The" = a specific thing.
"A/an" = an unspecific thing.

Ex1: "Give me the book!" = Give me that specific book.
Ex2: "Give me a book!" = Give me any book.

There's another slightly more complicated way to look at it: "The" refers to old information, and "a/an" refers to new information that the speaker introduces into the sentence.

Ex3: "I read a book last week. The book was not very good." = The first time I mention the book, I am introducing a new item into the conversation, so I use "a/an." But in the second sentence, the listener/reader now knows that I am talking about that book I read last week; it is now old information, so I can use "the book."

I hope that makes sense, but let me know if it doesn't. I'll write more on the other grammar things if nobody else chimes in, but I need to collect my thoughts on them a little bit. It's always difficult to explain grammar.
