Plus, you have to know the game inside and out, to a T. Being good looking, well-spoken and charasmatic is also a definite must (and let's face it, people have some of those qualities, but very few have all four). And you want to cover bw (I assume), a scene which will, for all intensive purposes, be dead in the competitive sense when SC2 comes out. At which point, you'd have to start at ground zero again. I mean, go to Korea and give it a shot, but certainly don't put all your eggs in one basket. Chances are, you're gonna leave disappointed. | ||

Travel expenses, housing, food, transportation once you arrive, etc. And keep in mind when you arrive to Korea all your income will stop because you will be unemployed using your life savings to pursue your childhood dreams in a foreign country. Just thoroughly plan ahead, don't just sit there the next two years saying, "When I turn 18 shit is goin down!" like the majority of teens your age. Because, regardless of your dreams, if you do that it's almost certain you wont do anything you set out to do. Also, I know you probably won't like thinking about it, but start making a plan B. When you get back to the states after spending all your savings traveling Korea for a year, you will want to be able to jump back into the real world without much hassle. | ||

If his dream is to play a game, and hes moving there to fulfill that dream, then he is moving there to play a fucking game. If the game wasn't popular there, he wouldn't move there, because then he couldn't fulfill his dream could he? Sounds like what I said was rather accurate. On September 18 2008 10:01 Sp1ralArch1tect wrote: at least give a good reason why he shouldn't go, but I doubt you can think of any. Heres one: The game is already ten years old. I don't think anyone would disagree that his chances of making it at a foreign progamer or even getting into the proscene are beyond slim. His chances plummet even more because he isn't able to do this until he is 18. I don't think there is going to be much of a Brood War proscene in two years regardless, so I am saying that this is a bad idea. It would be a waste of money and time.

From my post, you've gathered that I have no dream and no idea of what I am doing or where I am going in life. Your pretty fucking amazing. Lastly, I found this hilarious: On September 18 2008 10:01 Sp1ralArch1tect wrote: You could at least put him down in a more articulated way... Like this?
