Is it true that firebathero used to be an average player who posted a blog about how he wanted to become a progamer, practicing on pgt, etc. and a lot of people followed it until he actually became good? Who does the hair/makeup for progamers before matches, they're really good. How much do tickets to important events such as proleague finals, osl semifinals, finals cost? | ||

That'd be a turn up for the books. He seems like a really nice guy though. He treats his fans well. ~~~~ Sure, I'm happy to share my experiences if you have anything specific you want to ask. I'm actually not too clued in about FBH's history. I'm definitely going to ask him for more insight this season and I'm hoping to secure an interview with him in the future for my site. It's a team of two ladies at COEX - they style all the gamers very quickly and each one recieves different levels of make up/hair styling depending upon the state of their skin etc. They so a nice job and add to the pleasant atmosphere back stage. They're free - I've never had to pay for any progaming events at all. Even the Khan fan meeting was free and they laid on a gorgeous lunch for us plus t-shirts, badges, snacks and prizes for the winners of the games we played. | ||

Unfortunately - what little progaming merchandise exists often requires you to wire money (even when buying it within Korea.) Or it's only available to fan club members/at live events. I recommend making contact with someone who lives in S.Korea and asking them to buy it for you or contacting an online shopping service to enquire about custom orders. There really isn't that much available right now - I'm hoping this will change in the near future what with the popularity of the 2008 team diaries which seemed to sell well to domestic progaming fans at the MBC Hero Centre. | ||

No. Therefore I don't think you're in any position to comment on it. Actually the event was part of a trend alot of progaming teams are entering into now - improving relations between their fans, the players and the management. It's got nothing to do with their standing in tournaments. All the teams do it currently (We Made, CJ and KTF have also all had larger scale meets or fan signings.) except for STX Soul who doesn't give any fan service. | ||

It has different meaning depending on the words after it and the sentence structure. | ||

Also, how many guys are among spectators usually, it seems like there are 90% girls. The venues have very different seating capacities and it often depends upon the time of the matches as well. For example the MBC Hero Centre is a very, very small venue which can only accomodate about a hundred and something people at a squash. There are about 12-15 rows of seats with 9 seats in a row - everyone else just has to stand up. Yongsan can accomodate alot more (maybe 300+ if you take standing room into account.) and it feels much more spacious than the tiny Coex venue. Live events are a different story entirely - they usually choose large venues like the DOM ArtHall in Children's Grand Park - which was host to the MSL S3 final and the GSI final. The turn out for the last couple of finals was rubbish in comparison to last season's MSL final etc - this might be attributed to far away locations (Kintex for the Proleague Grand Finals was an hour away from the centre of Seoul.) and also the new nature of the events themselves (GSI for example.) The turn out at Yongsan in comparison to other esports (like Kart Rider where usually only about 40 people turn up including the riders and crew.) is still decent and often bolstered by the support of the specific teams' fanclub members. The ratio is definitely unbalanced. The MBC Hero Centre attracts alot of foot traffic and some guys do come in that way, but alot more girls make the specific trip to see their favourite teams. Visits to proleague are often co-ordinated through the fanclubs/daum cafes so girls come in large groups to attend the matches/fan meets together. Most of the ones you see on TV are friends and members of the same clubs. | ||

I'd assume their girlfriends if they have them. Well I'm not familiar enough with the other teams to know their training schedules, but when we spoke to Khan's Favian he said he trains rigorously because he's determined to make a name for himself in the future. I think alot of the players apply the same focus to their regimes. I'm hoping to be able to provide more specific information in the future about how the progamers live day to day so please be patient. | ||

Btw it would be nice of you translate that interview wiht BackHo when he won JD and GGplay in the OSL. I have met Coach Cho before so I'm hoping to approach him at the next proleague I attend where Lecaf are playing and ask him about his players. It depends upon if my friend can come to translate for me (I actually only speak a small amount of Korean.) I'm definitely going to try and provide some more specific information as I mentioned in my last comment about the way progamers live currently in the future ^^. | ||
