Growth? There's no serious growth, try comparing current prices with the old ones, youll get to the point. And yes, western europe is like a fucking El Dorado to us.

Spending 4000zł to get the 50% of the price is quite a big deal.


90% of the community? It's very huge exaggeration. I know people who are 19-21 and are already making more than average income on internships. Things are changing. I assume you only think like this from your own perspective and thus the perspective of your own regions. The whole Poland is not like that.

And about the Growth, that you mentioned barely exists... They is a significant growth. Poland is one of the few European countries that survived the recession without negative GDP measure. In fact, one can argue that because of that fact, Poland has never been in recession at all.

2006 GDP
Q1 5.4%
Q2 6.3%
Q3 6.6%

2007 GDP
Q1 7.4%
Q2 6.5%
Q3 6.5%

2008 GDP

Q1 6.1%
Q2 6.0%
Q3 5.0%


Compare this to United States:
2008 GDP
Q1 -1.2%
Q2 3%
Q3 -2.8%
Q4 -5.5%

Compare this to Germany
2008 GDP ~2.2%

I admit that standards of living of western countries are better undoubtedly but this El Dorado you're talking about only exists in your head.

Have you actually been to 90% of Poland?

BTW if these two players are actually asking for x amount of dollars they should have at least a 50% match.

And you have been... and seen that the 90% of Poland are beggars...
Facts are all against that my dear fellow American^^


These two players are not asking for anything. Read the posts carefully before posting anything.

Did you even read what I wrote? I haven't been to 90% of Poland, but I've been to 40-50% of it and just from that I can deduct that a lot more than 10% of people make more average income.

Both, Draco and Yayba are students, and from what I publicly known are unemployed. (or rather don't have a steady source of income just like many students from all over the world).

They sure want to go, who wouldn't? They both play ICC (ASL tournament) so they are active. These players never asked for a penny. This money collecting program was constructed independently by the whole Polish scene. Moreover, Draco made a statement that he won't accept any free money from people, so because of that it was given a sponsoring character.

1. This action was organized so that we can give Starcraft a kickass farewell
2. It was started to show that Polish scene is well-organized and cares about Starcraft
3. It was supposed to show that even though Poles are not Rockefellers they still can achieve this financial goal, and while almost everyone thought it's impossible, now you can see that one addition player will go for sure.
4. This was supposed to be a thankyou to Polish players for their effort put into starcraft scene, especially Draco.
5. Polish scene thought that maybe other people would want to participate in this, since WCG is a world-wide event.

In summary, it was more about some principles and values, than about anything else.

You have any more questions or doubts?
Come along and take a hit from the bong.

I think that this is a great initiative that really shows the greatness of the BW community. I fear it wont be the same once SCII hit the shelves - it will turn into something like the CS-community packed with 14 year old nerds.
Oh well... Wish i could contribute some money - but actually got NONE ... But you got my full (moral) support!
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

I'm throwing out my good luck again since this thread seemed to spend some time being about the GNP of Poland and not about Starcraft.


Good Luck!
