What's this talk "Oh poor you, you got to face DeMoN first round ". Man you are supposed to be pro, what kind of talk is that? You shouldn't cry even if you had to face Mushi. Like really, who are YOU? You went to korea after casting a few games and now you're supposed to be a top player and savior of esports in korea going 15-0 or something? Get a grip, really.

Wow, there's a lot of hate here for a great player who is trying his best and working his hardest. Good luck Blitz, I'm really excited to hear about what's on the horizon! Keep in touch!

Well, he played a lot of WC3 DotA in teams though.

Not sure if serious considering the amount of misinformation contained within.

Hey Blitz, do you remember this post you made a while back?

+ Show Spoiler +
On September 03 2013 13:40 Blitz wrote:
Um I'll clear some stuff up. I originally talked to FXO at TI3, just being friendly with FeBBy, and asked if they had a spot. Kinda like 'I'm korean febby get me out there' it was mainly a joke as I was on my way to the restroom in between games but we had a serious chat and that got me thinking about the entire process. I was originally slated to join FXO, but couldn't make it out to the first league, as my mothers birthday was on the 8th of September, and the league starts on the 7th. I've missed my mom's last 7 birthdays and FXO originally told me I could come later then that so I scheduled myself to come after the first league. They then told me it would be too late etc, that it wouldn't work. So I contacted some other teams, and I've found myself a team, (which I can't announce till I formally get in Korea till the second league starts, so sometime late October) and they were excited to have me. I specifically asked if I could stream and they said as long as it didn't interfere with practice it would be fine. In fact the sponsor and the team seemed excited about the publicity etc. I'm fine with the rigors of practice, a lot of people don't know this but I originally made a team with several good players, Inphinity, Mikey (old quantic), Lust, and EGM (alliance). I was the one that formed this team, nobody on it ever doubted my commitment or skill, and I was always awake at 7am my time to practice. Me and EGM were the only ones who were never late to a single scrim or tournament. We were practice partners to EG, aL, and several notable TI2 teams. I even streamed several of these, and we won a large portion of these games with me going mid. Before that I rang for PULSE/Infused or whatever you wanna call it all the time, we even played against iG when they were the best team in the world and won. After that, I played in the Defense 3 with people I had never played before, we practiced maybe 4 times, and we even had a guy with a 51% pub win rate (he was the guy pretending to be Hailo but ended up not being Hailo, short story he was awful skilled liquid fire level 1 etc.) and still did fairly well. A lot of people here can talk about my skill and whether or not I'm cut out to do it, but I personally believe I can. My stream image, someone who pubs with viewers, and lower skilled friends, and constantly reads the chat while playing is different from the person I am competitively. People don't realize how much it takes to constantly read the chat while trying to play the game. Its part of my appeal so I don't mind doing it, but games I stream aren't accurate reflections of my skill. Talk to any of my former teammates, or any of the people that played with me competitively, and they'll tell you this is something I can do. I don't think I'm a top tier pro, or even mid level, but I think I can with time and effort get there. Korea might be easier, but I'm not going there to earn money, it's just to gain some new experiences, see some family I haven't seen in over 12 years, and travel the world a bit before I go into something more serious. This was something I wrote while playing in game so if I missed something or something needs clarifying post below, thanks.


I also remember you saying on stream that you weren't going to FXO (now fOu). I'm guessing at some point plans changed and you went ahead with joining fOu. Does that mean you'll now join the other team you were planning on joining originally or something completely different?

Love watching Blitz play but the lack of flaming in this thread is fucking disgusting this guy goes bum hunting in Korea only to get stomped by a reg now he is talking about how he didnt expect demon blah blah blah. I have been following the esports scene since quakeworld and the way this community is treating blitz is bad for esports.

Your are flaming about the lack of flame on a site that has strict moderation, thus not sure if you are saying it sarcastically or being serious (also you only have 2 posts and both of them are in this thread)

plus you said its bad for esports to treat someone nicely...

Ouch. My advice would be to stay a bit and try to work things through, it can only be a fantastic life experience and even full of hardships and whatever the end, it can only make you stronger in the end. You will regret it someday if you don't try this out anyway.
Good luck o/

You should be proud of yourself Blitz, that you have the guts to try something so wild. The situation sucks but that is not your fault. This adventure is going to be a learning experience for life, which ever way it will turn out Good luck on "part 2", so to speak.

Also, thanks for writing. It is always interesting to hear real world experience straight from the horse's mouth.

Because I tried making several teams from the ground up in the west and found little to no success with it. With no offers looming on the horizon from any decent teams, the Korean scene seemed attractive. I know we should all 'play for the love of the game' but is it wrong of me to also be attracted to the money? Or should I blatantly ignore that aspect altogether. This opportunity seemed a lot easier as if you live in a team house you can't quit and I'd be living in a structured environment with an already developed team.



Blitz, no offense, but you are not a very good player, at least, not good enough to be a professional player as of right now. Going to Korea just so that you can take advantage of their less developed scene, and try and make a quick bucks was a decision you made.

If your ass wasn't so high up your ass as to believe you could literally just fly to Korea and win your first tournament, with no prior professional Dota 2 experience, with a team that you never played with before, then you would've at least had a more reasonable reaction to your loss.

From your interview with Hotbid, you clearly stated your belief that the Korean scene was so behind in terms of skills compared to the rest of the world, that even you, could become a star player in it. Trying to be a big fish in a small pond, and failing to do so because of competition, does not warrant any sympathy.

Demon being in Korea was clearly not something that you anticipated. The games that you played against him today, it was clear that Demon was able to pub carry his team, due to the low skills of his team and his opponents. It is my belief that you imagined yourself doing the same thing Demon was doing today before you came to Korea.



I share the exam same thoughts with this guy about your approach to Korea.

I do have sympathy for you though. I understand that right now the issue isn't about the loss, but on how Febby fucked you up. Febby is acting as a total dick. His actions are immature and short-sighted. He just wants the quick easy results, rather than striving towards them. His departure has left you in an awkward situation. I'm surprised that he can just leave fOu so easily, as though there isn't any contract that binds him.

I hope your team situation gets resolved soon.

Not only is the above guy correct but you trusted the words of a random 17 year old to fly half way around the world.
Anyway, either make a new team and try hard or go back to murica for casting.

And i still have to figure out why would people rely on DeMoN for anything after all he has done.

Hey Blitz, I don't watch or play DotA all that much, but I just read what you wrote, and I'm sorry. That sucks man. I just wanted to say that when going through a rough time, keep pushing through. You seem like a genuinely good guy, and that's rare in this biz. You've got one more random rooting for you to win .
