Rekrul is doing the exact same thing Chill was so blunt about when others did it. Now Chill suddenly praises him for it. Also, Rekrul has been wrong on Idra. Not to mention he used to be a poker player. Go figure! | ||

It's such an incredible skill...being able to tell someone that what they're doing is stupid. Too much time is wasted in my line of work when all they needed was a Rekrul to tell them, 'Just fucking stop. This is stupid.' I disagree ... if anyone else made this post they'd be banned. | ||

Every ret-tard kept saying he'd make it, he'd make it. Fucking make what? The fucking pro-league? You expect to get make a pro-league appereance by not even knowing how to zvz? I knew he'd choke after his post on the naugnim(or w.e his name is) incident, where it was being discussed whether he should be allowed to play or not. Ret, your words were words of fear. Sorry, but nice people get nowhere. People without balls don't get fucking ANYWHERE. White-Ra: He's the fucker I respect the MOST out of this twisted liquid team shit. He's even managing a program to expand e-sports in his country. That takes balls, that takes fucking steel balls. Ret. You ought to talk to Rekul and White-ra. Learn what real men with visions and balls are. Then maybe, just fucking MAYBE my bet with a friend will go on your favor. But 100 bucks to me. I'm happy. | ||

Putting ur life on hold to go to a completely foreign country full of uncertainty but motivated by hope is pretty ballsy, no? | ||

Whats delusional in taking a year off and going to a different country to try to make your dream come true? No matter how you look at it it's an awsome experiance, Way better than taking a year of doing nothing as a lot of people do. | ||

To the group saying, "Open your eyes, of course it was going to be hard." This isn't the issue. Everybody is aware of the amount of work required to succeed in progaming, but having the deck stacked against you at an all ready difficult task is what is interesting. Realistically, I doubt the majority of posters actually thought ret would win his first or second courage, but given time to practice and train with eStro over the course of some months I'd imagine many people would say his chances would increase greatly. That, however, seems like it's not an option, so the proverbial "told you so's" are as fucking retarded as the guy telling ret to man up.

Your post isn't edgy, it's stupid. | ||

Anyways point is Koreans work INSANE amount of hours and getting to practice with them will feel like an honor for about 2 hours before you realize you are in a Korean sweatshop playing Starcraft for God knows how long. I can barely play like 2-3 games in a row before I want to close the damn game. PS: The best part about Korea IMO is the cheap soju. Starcraft is just a bonus. Me personally I'd prefer Japan ^_^, but meh my job is in South Korea | ||

I've always thought that becoming pro-gamer is a waste of life, though, even though I have to agree that every man his own. | ||

re: working in Korea. (although I suspect it's the same wherever you go) You make a choice pretty early on. You either decide to pay your dues, or you decide that the end result of paying them dues isn't worth it, and you out. In American terms, it's not unlike the initiations for joining a fraternity. You go through shit to get the respect of the group. Your resolve is tested - can people trust you? Can they consider you accountable? Can they consider you competent? If you still don't get it, you can go watch Avatar. Either decision is legit. I don't know shit about ret, but from what I gather it seems that his decision to forgo the dues and forgo the possible benefits was a good one. | ||

I'm sure ret is isolated in Korea, but this is what he choice, it may not be a adventure but it's sure a experience in life that you will remember for many years to come. Anway, very good post but still i support the all foreigner that brave enough to go to Korea. If you guys can't blend in, really its not your fault. Koreans are hard to deal with | ||
