if he uses tfeign's edited paragraph it will prove that he received help, and the paragraph itself isn't even good. it doesn't flow and has too many words that stick out. it reminds me of people that want to improve their essay so they go to thesaurus.com and plug in random SAT words to make themselves sound smarter but end up doing the opposite.

remember kids, you don't use big words to sound smart but because they convey the meaning more precisely.

Emphasis that even though the popularity of Starcraft is enormous within the Korean homeland, it still remains undiscovered to the rest of the western hemisphere must be conveyed.

Onto the next paragraph here we go:

Let me give you some introduction.
Starcraft is the best Real Time Strategy (RTS) pc game in the pc game history. It was released in 1998. Since its birth, it attracted innumerable young ppl to devote to it. Because playing Starcraft is full of competition and popularity, matches of starcraft emerged, then, progaming emerged naturally.
Progaming is a growing business in Korea.
In 1999, there were total 72 broadcasts from all the tourneys and a combined prize money of $1,500,000. In 2004 there were a total of 148 broadcasts and $5,000,000 money on the line.
There are more than 200 progamers officially licensed with the KPGA. There are 11 professional gaming teams with official sponsors, which includes.
After Starcraft and the progaming scene got popular in Korea, there are now over 60 universities with "gaming" as a major.


Arguably, Starcraft has risen to become the most influential RTS (Real Time Strategy) game ever invented. Its charm and influence has captured the hearts of countless gamers worldwide. The Starcraft revolution has helped redefine competitive gaming around the world. Pro gaming has emerged to become one of Korea's most popular pasttime cultures.

In 1999, Starcraft tournaments in Korea led to a total of 72 TV broadcasts, and brought about a combined prize money of $1,500,000. Within a five year span, the number of broadcasts has significantly grown by over 200%, along with over half a billion $ in annual prizes.

Over 200 progamers are officially licensed with the KPGA. Currently, there exists 11 professional gaming teams with official sponsors.
The appreciation of Starcraft as a popular culture has led to the endorsement of "gaming" as an official major in over 60 Korean universities.


arthit listen to me and you will ace your presentation, seriously.

Seriously tfeign, what you've written so far in this thread is NOT good, regardless of how you look at it.

I sort of thought the same thing when I read your battlereport for that staff application thread a month or so ago, but it was much more appropriate in that situation.. Here you are just being longwinded. You could get your point across much, MUCH quicker and without all the extra words -_-

Also you lack flow, and sort of remind me of the narrator of "Australia uncovered" (this is the most hillarious show I have ever seen, but not in a good way).

You just get stuck after every sentance, they have no flow, they don't connect -_-

tfeign your writing is really not that great..

new games aren't 'invented'

influence is the wrong word to use..

'emerged to become' is terrible english

I don't have time to tear your paragraph to shreads at this moment, but this section contains the stupidest thing you have said all thread.
In 1999, there were total 72 broadcasts from all the tourneys and a combined prize money of $1,500,000. In 2004 there were a total of 148 broadcasts and $5,000,000 money on the line.

The number of broadcasts only grew by slightly over 100%, not 200%. 5,000,000 is 5 million. 5 million is not half a billion. Half a billion is 500 million, or 500,000,000. 1 billion is 1,000,000,000, in case you haven't figured that out by now.

I recon the problem that could arise if Arthit suddenly showed great skill in the english language - If his earlier works were of average quality. Yet, I think that tfeign's additional adjustments are very well written and personally if I was Arthit I would ask tfeign for more help with this assignemnt. The things that tfeign has written so far, with some adjustments to "lower" the standard at some points would definitely help you to achieve a better grade.
Conclusion: tfeign, keep up the good work, even if you are being badly critized for your excellent work!

You are just impressed by his vocabuluary-_- That's not what writing a good text is about, at all. The texts of tfeign wont capture the attention of his audience, it's much too long winded not to mention he only uses 'alternate' words to describe things and he doesn't even use them right!

When you rewrite a text, what you try to do is to make a text that flows and sounds natural, while trying to say what you want as precisely as possible.

I'm not saying my version was good, but tfeign's definitely wasn't, just because the text didn't flow at all as it had as many 'proper' words stuffed into one sentence as possible.

You use fancy words because they express what you're trying to say most clearly and not because you're trying to sound smart.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer
