Is this for real? I thought this was just a bad joke or something when I read it. It just seems so surreal...

Kal is one of the tallest progamers, that's kind of ironic.

Ok, here's the *entire* real story because Facebook decided to cut my masterpiece short.

THE REAL STORY

Jaedong saw Kal drown in the pool because no one around him could swim and realized that it was an incredibly unfortunate and unnecessary tragedy because Kal is a really great person and a great StarCraft player. He then decided to take matters into his own hands and summoned his ultra-secret time-traveling Nydus canal so that he could travel to the past and convince Flash's mother to make her son take swimming lessons, thus providing Flash with the life-saving skills he needed to rescue Kal (and perhaps others, should the need arise).

He didn't opt to save Kal himself because he's a very modest kind of person (for non-StarCraft things - for StarCraft things he tells it like it is) and wanted Flash to get all the glory, etc. for saving Kal's life. He didn't talk to Kal's mom because he realized that this would be an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the caliber of character possessed by Korean pro StarCraft players (gambling match-riggers excluded), since he knew Flash would be a graceful hero and Kal would show his maturity through a very heartfelt appreciation of Flash's actions.

He knew that he was still technically putting Kal's life at risk, but he also trusted Flash's unwavering sense of duty and hyper-awareness of crisis situations to keep Kal away from the emergency room.


Warning: contains WCG SC tourney spoilers
+ Show Spoiler +
Furthermore, Jaedong didn't use the secret Nydus canal to travel back in time and cause him to win the WCG semifinals against Flash because it would've been highly unethical. Jaedong knows that when he's on his deathbed, he will not want to regret the stain on his personal integrity from using illegitimate means to win one single WCG title (which he's already won before), even if nobody else were to find out. I completely admire him for this.

Woah, that looked like a really serious situation there. O_o

It wasn't really just Flash who did all the work, it took the combined power of all four people to prevent a tragedy.

Damn...

Interesting, Flash's synthetic skin must be water-proof shielding his robotic interior. He is a much more advance model than I originally anticipated.

They don't learn to swim in South-Korean schools?


I live in Australia, and by memory none of the schools I have been to ever taught us to swim? My parents put me into swimming lessons as a baby so I am pro swim . I always thought it was odd how people couldn't swim, since its so easy but I guess you can't do things you don't know how to do.

I guess schools teach people to swim in Sweden?

On a second note, this wasn't even a beach? It was a pool wasn't it? drowning in a pool at age 19+, I don't know what to say really, but I guess if your scared, you don't react like you normally would and you just freeze.

Such failures. In California you have to pass a swimming test to pass P.E. and graduate from high school.
