People who go to Korea to be a progamer are sort of like people who watch samurai animes then go to Japan to become a kendo master. It's a silly dream and 99% of the time not gonna happen. If it does happen it makes for a good movie script tho lol | ||

Progaming is never going to change in Korea from what I see. It's going to follow the same method of K-Pop. Slave contracts, everyone stays in a house, no time to do leisure and extremely difficult to break into. | ||

Most people don't understand exactly what "sacrifice" means until they are asked to make it. | ||

Reality is, there's just so many disadvantage he has to face that other koreans don't need to even when you don't consider racism which to be honest there will be some level of. | ||

If ret had understanding of the language it would create a common-ground between himself and teammates and he would be able to communicate with them. Communication is important on these teams because you need to engage in conversation to help improve your game as well as earn the respect of better players. With respect comes more chances to practice with your teammates. I don't believe ANYONE said anything about having a basic understanding of the language - please be more constructive if you plan on negating more comments. Throwing words into peoples' posts is just idiotic. What the hell? The one guilty of libel here is you, not me. The point I was attempting to make was, unless someone has actually gone through the experience of learning a second language and moving to a country where it is spoken, they should not be in a position to tell ret about its importance. How did I throw words into anyone's post? Unless people have first hand experience, their words are pure speculation. Thus, I asked whether or not they had the experience. No attempt was made by me to insult anyone, it was purely interrogative. If you aren't going to take the time to read what I actually wrote, I will not continue debating this with you. | ||

Most people don't understand exactly what "sacrifice" means until they are asked to make it. You are really off. Labor is a simple process. You look at an occupation and ask "what is the benefit of working this job?" Then you ask yourself "what is the cost?" This is called the cost/benefit analysis. Becoming a progamer has HIGH costs, LOW benefit. Trying to conflate the issue into some sort of "enormous sacrifice" is retarded. If you need to make an enormous sacrifice, then there better be an enormous payoff! Like investment banking maybe? Or becoming a heart surgeon? Or becoming an attorney? You notice what the avg pay rate is for these jobs? Do you see why people are willing to make sacrifices for them? Do you see how they're not only economically rewarding but socially prestigious? Now look at progaming, which arguably takes greater dedication and intellectual ability than most of these jobs. What is the pay? What is the social recognition? How is your health? How adaptable is the work experience to another occupation? Yeah, exactly. | ||

watched some documentation about german immigrants in korea earlier (nothing bw related) and they were not able to find a korean in a crowded street in seoul who could describe them the way in english. speaking english does not seem to be a good talent toi have in korea, which is kinda surprising for a country whose economy hugely relies on export. maybe it's just the language barrier and not a lack of friendliness, that makes you think koreans are xenophobic. | ||
