If you derail this thread to argue about SC2 vs BW in any context other than that of the interview (e.g. saying things like "colosi suck" or "all BW fans are elitist jerks!"), I will ban you for at least a week, if not more. This is your only warning. I added this page 17 You have been warned ~GMarshal | ||

Not to mention the fact that before Stork had broken out into the high level scene BoxeR dubbed him the NEXT BIG THING. Generally people who've been named by/under the tutelage of BoxeR have turn out to be something of Demi-Gods. Stork was no different, makes sense he respects him so much. Sea was the one dubbed by Boxer to be the next big thing ;_; | ||

Only in the single leagues, though! Sea has always been a beast in teamleagues! At least as far as I can remember. | ||

As I recall, Sea was a pretty sick player in the proleagues, and showed up in OSLs a lot as a serious prospect. He was a very good player, just not a legend. | ||

Ok? Then they can get a normal job or find something else they like doing for a career, just like every other person alive. Did they expect this game to live on forever and they would continue to play SC:BW professionally for the rest of their lives? lol | ||

Why would you sacrifice so much for something that will only gives you so little. Lots of parents are VERY un-supportive of their children leaving school to become or attempt to become pro-gamers... sounds like some people made some questionable decisions. So please dont tell me what I know and dont know. | ||

And then he will always make it out of the qualifiers and reach the starleagues only to choke big time. The question was: will his proleague performance translate to starleague wins one day, or will it happen the other way. By now we all know the answer. In terms of raw talent, Sea was very highly thought of both by coaches and players during the early years of his career. In Proleague that talent did manifest itself but a combination of inadequate preparation and mental weakness led to comparatively poor results in individual leagues. | ||

You have little to now experience with the new position and yet everyone expects you to be the best at it. If you don't do a great in your new position you'll be release from the company all together. Oh and did I mention that you will continue to work both positions at the same time. That is what these guys are going through. I can't imagine the amount of stress and uncertainty they feel for their futures. On top of that they are getting paraded around like a circus act for MLG! I won't get into that. If I were in their shoes I would do a worker rush everytime they sent me out to play. | ||
