Even the whole Savior fiasco... sure he deserved punishment, but I was surprised at the depth of the hatred people heaped on him. From what I understand, being progamer is pretty brutal and unglamorous behind the scenes. I don't think you understand what the situation was: Savior was the one, who was in a relative position of power, and approached other progamers about participating in matchfixing. He was the one abusing his position of authority over other gamers. Also Savior was one of the more influential, successful and financially set gamers, so he absolutely did not need to do what he did - which is why there was the deserved negative reaction - no surprise necessary. | ||

I stand corrected. I'd forgotten the details. | ||

Says a lot about the amount of stress/pressure put on students that suicides are common enough to not even faze people. It's also pretty disheartening to know that some students feel relief that they have one less person to compete against. Best of luck to Promise, hopefully he pulls through to a better place both mentally and physically. In terms of extra curriculuars, the students I had did sports and clubs DURING the school day - during breaks or lunch/dinner periods. Mind you, their school day was 14 hours long. They also studied for APs and SATs on top of all this + being involved in debates and MUNs from the region. For the most part, because my school was a Foreign Language HS, most of the kids were aiming to go aboard for university. I have also taught in public schools too - and I agree that the education system in Korea is horrible. I have a LOT to say about that, but this isn't the place for it. | ||

takes a real sick fuck to pull this shit without thinking of the consequences. glad the community is doing such a great job, I'm sure now, promise, and a lot of other gamers know that the community is there for them, and that they won't have to feel that suicide is the way out. | ||

Maknoon had tweeted saying that he was the same age as the guy and always felt that there was something off about him. I too wish that this Noh guy will be caught and brought to justice. We can only hope that he is finally found and brought to court. | ||

I really do wonder with so many suicides in Korea though, do parents just not care? You'd think after that many suicides there would be an anti-suicide lobby.. | ||
