Hi guys~
Many people used to ask me
how did I become a progamer //how I became a programer or "how did you become a progamer?"

so I'm going to write my old experiences //write down my old..., or write about my old...

before progamer and how did I get into my first team. //from before I was a progamer and how I got

Originally I wanted to be Brood War progamer // to be a Brood War progamer
I have seriously started to play in 2009.
It is commonly known that Korean people put so many time in studying. // so much (many only for things that could be counted, also ...Korean people put a lot of time in studying... would be better)
my High school schedule was insane.

Wake up at 6 am, first class begins at 7:20 and it ends at 10:00 pm
get home approximately 10:30 then have to finish my home work, sleep at 12 am // then I have to finish my...or 10:30 then finish homework, ...

It was so insane I've never had time to play game and I think that is the reason why most of Korean players withdraw there school for gaming. // time to play the game ... why most Korean players ... withdraw their school in favor of

After convincing my parent, I quit my school and I got into "Amateur Practice House" which was operated by Clan Shield.
// my parents(except of course you have a single mother or father, in which case you could write convincing my father/mother)
I quit my school and I got into "Amateur Practice House" which was operated by Clan Shield. // into the "Amateur..."...

When I got there I was intimidated because there were some Semi-pros and 2nd team progamers.
House practice system wasn't perfect they didn't really care about practice. //The house practice system

only few people practice hard and I wasted my 1 year at there // only a few people practiced hard ... 1 year there
I wasn't so good I was between A- and A (ICCUP)
(btw I met some SC2 players here.
some people are doing really good) // some of these people are

And after that I switched the amateur team house Shield to Fou which was operated by Choya// switched from x to y, or switched x for y
and then SC2 was launching open beta // launching it's open beta or the open beta
and Choya Convinced us to play sc2 which has more opportunity to be a pro.
I think it was turning point in my life, // the turning point or a turning point
otherwise I would have wasted my whole life playing Brood War as a amateur. // an amateur

then i got back to my home playing alone and I was surprised by my self because I made #1 KR Ladder a couple of times.
// I made it to the #1 KR Ladder spot

And I got scouted By Clan Werra
Originally I asked them for the test but Gundam.Werra (who eventually turned out as Gay)
Scouted me without Test and Werra was planning to make their own team.

and my first tournament was GSL Open Season 1 I was confidence in my self // was confident, or I had confideence
because I was #7 ladder at that moment. // I was #7 on ladder at that moment
I beat Gumiho and I lost to Justfake.Werra.

I was depressed that I couldn't make into GSL. // I couldn`t make it into GSL

and lots of players who(whom?) I considered as a weak player // whom I considered weak could.

(whom/who), try to avoid it, most native speakers have trouble using it

and it made me feel more depress. //depressed
In retrospect that moment, my mind set was terrible xD // In retrospect, (during that moment(can be left out)), my mindset...

I went to GSL Open Season 1 Final with Clan Werra players.
(My closest friend in Werra was NSH.Tassadar)

And we saw Fruitdealer Won the Final which stimulated us a lot. // saw Fruitdealer winning ... except of course you came there when he had already won

There was a Tournament which was operated by Thisisgame.com.
I won that tournament and received Razor SC2 Gears and I used to play a lot in Gisado's KOTH
because of those things I got Team Joining offer // a Team Joining offer
from TSL(I've never expected) and at the same time I made into GSL Open Season 2.

It was my life before progamer :D // before I became
Thanks for reading hope you guys enjoyed !
I'm going to write some episodes in TSL(which I can talk in public)
Any Grammatical corrections would be appreciated. <3


I corrected as well as I could. I am not a native speaker myself, but I am learning korean.
The mistake you made the most is not using demonstrative pronouns.

An example:
In Korean you would say: "Circle is round."
Since most western languages differentiate between singular and plural, using the singular "circle", means that you refer to an entity of a circle. So you have to stress that by saying: "A circle is round." However, if you can see the circle, If you know the circle or if you have been in the circle, if you have a specific entity of a circle in mind, you have to say: "The circle is round.".

If you use plural, you can say: "Circles are round." If you refer to specific circles you have to say: "The circles are round.".

Your english is solid otherwise.

Life is not easy, sometimes you need to realize you gotta pack your bags and go back to the real world before you're old and broke with no education.

"Korean players withdraw there school for gaming." It's "their" not "there".
("There" is a place. "Their" is a possession. "They're" is "they are.")

Your parentheses of "whom?" would be right, since the object in the sentence is you, and the objects are whom you considered weak.

Overall, work on using "The" more. Like "House practice system..." needs "the" before house. "The" tells us how specific you are talking; A good example might be: Is it about this cat, or all cats in general? "The cat" tells us you mean this one. "A cat" often means most cats in general. (But "a cat" can also be used when you mean a specific cat, but don't know what it looks like.)

But otherwise, your English is very good. There's actually quite a bit of word nuance you seem to know if not understand that a lot of my Korean friends mess up a lot. They use synonyms of what Americans would say, and, though it's technically correct, it's just weird to hear.

P.S.- That game between you and Boxer still stands out as one of the most amazing things I ever saw live. Thanks for the many great games I've gotten to see you play.
