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. | ||

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). 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.

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

Within a five year span, the number of broadcasts has significantly grown by over 200%, along with over half a billion $ in annual prizes. 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. | ||

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! | ||

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. | ||
