Next time you talk to Flash you should offer him a path to freedom away from his KTF slavemasters.

But seriously, I appreciate everything you've been doing for the foreign community. But free Flash because that kid needs to live a little.

I Knowing the players and what they do behind the scenes has killed my image of these sweet innocent players. What they say on interviews is not really how they think and talk. The politics involved with reporters, casters, coaches, etc. has really put me off on the whole scene.

I doubt it's that most of the progamers are bad guys or anything, it's just that people have a tendency to build them, and other various stars from their respective sports and games, into something inhuman, almost god-like at times. Once you realize that they're real people after all, a lot of that excitement and worshipping tends to die out, regardless of whether or not they're actually cool people.

Sounds like she's just seeing reality instead of the illusion that most people see progaming as. That doesn't mean that things behind the scenes suck (maybe they do and maybe they don't), but it can be disheartening at times to find out that things aren't quite what you had hoped for and dreamed about, and that goes for anything in life.

It's kinda like this. I'm not saying that they are all fake it's just that I'd like to believe that some of them don't party as Rekrul has shared and are all just good little nerdy computer geek boys.

The politics involved aren't even much about the players themselves but of the organizations and whatnot. And the fact that I'm Korean-American sucks cuz I'm conveniently Korean when they need me to be, and American when they need me to be. It's like having the short and long end of the stick at the same time.

I do love the community and I'm accepting it for what it is, but I'm just not sure if I want to continue in it and try to salvage the innocent feeling that I had about it once upon a time.

But of course in the media, they all need to put on the face of a good person.

We're grateful for your work and you should just do what you enjoy. If the enjoyment of interviews and watching games and rooting for your favorite players do not come back to you, then you're not really enjoying your job is it? And if you don't enjoy your job, you should try to find one that you do enjoy
