So Blizzcon is only 2 weeks away and I'm pretty pumped, but I have to ask -- will I actually have a good chance to shake hands with the Maestro himself?

it would be equivalent to meeting micheal jordan IMO -- I've even been practicing a couple of korean phrases to say to him if I actually get the chance, he's my favorite player of all time, after all..

can anyone who was at blizzcon 08 give some input on this?

and if I do actually get to meet him -- what's a good object to bring for him to autograph?



thanks much

Yeah. Last year people pretty much mobbed him after winning. Just after any game or even in the practice area just say hello. He speaks ok English although he's shy about it.
So wait? I'm bad? =(

He's a cool guy - very calming to work with and his English is good even if he is somewhat shy about it like most of the progamers who can speak English. (Except Chalrenge and Gorush haha.) Good luck with meeting him; at matches here in the post-game fan meetings he always draws the second biggest crowd of fans after Boxer. The key is confidence and not being intimidated by how you might feel towards him. Don't be too in awe/nervous to go and speak to him (like some of the people I've met from TL who came to see the live matches.)

I remember seeing him sign some people's CJ Entus shirts...

interesting story: while in the sc2 tourney section, I had just lost a game, then as I was about to get up and leave, Savior went and sat next to me to play a game against Yellow (who was across from him). I sat back down, said "hi Ma Jae Yoon" and he said "hi" back. I wanted to stay there soo bad but a damn tourney organizer was looking at me and he knew I had just lost a game so I had to leave. I was like "noooooooooooooooooo"

ah well i mean that's pretty natural sounding english coming from ma jae yoon -- or it's a loose translation from the original korean.

I think the most out-going personalities I've worked with are; Chalrenge (who is the only gamer I've met to date who comes up with his own poses without any form of prompting.) Gorush (pre-Ace - he is now very restrained, but polite.) and Canata (crazy and wonderfully funny.) Sangho is also very eager to converse in English and has a strong sense of welcoming to his personality. The shyest/quietest have been Luxury, EffOrt and Skyhigh.

Last Blizzcon he signed my shirt took two pictures with me (after the first one didn't come out well he was a good sport) and shook my hand. I just found him kind of standing around the progamer area talking to people. Really nice, probably won't have any trouble meeting him!

i'm not saying i don't believe you... 0_O

i was just wondering if he actually said it in english because i'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the korean language doesn't have a direct translation of "annoying as hell."

obviously the literal translation for slangy stuff like that is different, and in korean its often done with enunciation not words, but the meaning is the same

which is all obvious

u r dumb

God damn it rekrul... stop shattering our ideas of pro-gamers. Although it's nice to know how normal they are.
