I hate yooi. if newbie ass yooi manages to qualify for WCG 2005 in Singapore, I will annihilate him 2-0 under the ID "Vengeance for Gundam" but the bw scene will be so empty without gundam.. maybe he won't play in liquibition anymore.. I feel so affraid. Maybe gundam will change his mind! There is always hope. I'll talk to him soon, you'll see. Who am I kidding..deep down I realise it.. it's over =[ | ||

Your life must be really really sad if all you can think is the money you "lost" playing this game. Didn't you enjoy the time spent? didn't you enjoy making new friends online? Don't you enjoy coming here on these forums and read about all these korean pros? Is money more important than happiness? I have enjoyed every minute i spent on this game (except for some very long tvts :D), and i'm a happy man | ||

that post wasn't really serious, i wanted to make a denial/anger/fear/hope/acceptance joke, but it seems like nobody got it or else nobody thought it was funny what can I say? everybody knows me knows that gundam is my number one favourite player and him leaving brood war makes me feel terrible, but it's his life and I hope he does whatever makes him happy.. it's not like he died here guys but know this; I don't care how much better people will get at bw, I don't care if there will once be a day where the level is so high that the average player is better than gundam was in his prime, gundam will ALWAYS be number one because (to me) nobody else was at his level when brood war was young and getting good required the talent, persistance and insight that only a hanful others like giyom had. You can never outclass a legend. | ||

I think the rest just happened to find themselves in that situation by acheiving a certain level of greatness as they leisurely played. The rest probably stay out of fear of what else are they going to do, or hooked on the fame/"easy" lifestyle in which they are accustomed to. Others may simply have plans with their earnings after their contracts are up, start a business, etc etc. But i seriously doubt you have ever sat down at 10am and played 1 broodwar game after another non-stop until 8pm at night with only a couple of breaks for meals. Try that for one day, and youll probably never want to try again. if I ever got to be a progamer I would be top 30 within a year and top 10 within 16 months practicing all day every day. Many progamers take there progaming carrees for granted and it rely makes me sad. To be a progamer is to have a dream come true.... this applys for so many people and if you don't have the dream get out of progaming and make room for me ^^;; Practice makes Perfect. | ||

To the new players of this game, dont worry about the future of BW. This game is immensely enjoyable to players of all levels, from the casual newb player, to the more experienced, to the pro level gamers. Pros will come and go, just enjoy your favorite ones while they are doing their thing. | ||
