that's what I thought, I even responded to her saying

I'm sure he gets enough shit from korean fans.

but at the same time, I know Korean progamers really appreciate the foreign fanbase since they are so rarely exposed to it. so I figured a 'lee young ho fighting' wouldn't hurt.

I probably won't ask for the number anyway, but it's tempting.

Meh, I know of someone in China (a girl, obviously) who knows Nada's cellphone number and MSN. They used to exchange text messages and whatnot. It's not impossible...

imo the progamers don't give a shit about foreign fan base or fans at all really, i think they are annoyed as fuck by them lol (even tho they do say blah blah thanks for support fans i appreciate it blah blah in interviews)

like at blizzcon many tl'ers standing behind the koreans as they played eachother warming up...the stuff xellos and nada were saying to eachother basically was saying how it really sucks being here and they wanna gtfo of america asap lol

Just send something simple like "Lee Young Ho fighting, you have lots of fans in the US." It would probably make his day.

When I clicked post I immediately thought

"some portion of TL will want me to call/text him but at some point Rekrul will think it's a stupid idea and will probably call me a faggot"

I think a lot of people seem to forget the fact that progamers are real people. Most of them are still pretty young and despite what the vast majority of people here may like to dream about, they're pretty normal people too. It's really not that far fetched or even really that big of a deal for someone to have someone like that's phone number or MSN. In fact I'm surprised that someone having those things is even really that big of a deal to begin with (actually that's a lie, after being here for so many years it's really not that surprising anymore, but you get the point).

I mean, yeah these guys are really famous within the StarCraft community and parts of Korea, but most of them are still pretty normal people. So the girl probably really does have his number, but I don't think that it's a good idea for someone that he doesn't even know to text him. That probably gets a bit annoying, even if it is from fans.

orlandu's right

progamers really dont like getting recognized and asked for autographs and shit

infact when i've gone out with pros to clubs or w/e they generally didn't tell girls they were progamers or who they were they pretty much avoided it unless the girl knew them or asked directly

they simply _DO NOT CARE_

a bunch of you are acting like he had the personal number of Barack Obama lol, it's not THAT big of a deal so I don't think the girl was bullshitting him. If she wanted to brag, she won't tell him a progamer number because as rekrul said: "progamers really dont like getting recognized and asked for autographs"

and maybe I'm naive but I think they do care about the fans, it's not like they're bitching every fan they have as soon as they are in the practice house alone. Think about having thousands of fans when you were 16-17 years old and then you receive a text message from someone living at the other side of the world, that can be cool, even to them.
