Does anyone know if there is an english translation for this or even an ebook korean version of this? I found a russian translation of it but I am not sure if that is actually the translation of the same book, and if it is so, why would there be a russian translation but no english?

If anyone could give me some information it would be most appreciated

Russia has quite a large Korean minority, so that's probably why there's a translation in Russian

There is no english translation of it

One of our resident Koreans - I believe it was Bard? - started translating this book into English. I think he only got through the first chapter, though, and later scrapped the project. Still, great stuff =]

EDIT: No wait it was BinaryStar!

The book BinaryStar was translating is not the book the OP is talking about

BinaryStar translated Boxer's autobiography (called Crazy Like Me) Long before this, atleast 5 years ago, Boxer wrote a book on strategies that he uses in his games called Lim Yo Hwan's Dropship (the same name as his fanclub and PC room)

There IS a Russian translation of it, but I can't remember the website address at the moment

actually the russian translation sucks major ass T_T

very boring and inaccurate....

BinaryStar so much more interesting

In this book there is only build orders and advices "how to" (nydus rush, reaver drop etc.)

I personally spell it the way I think it should be spelled. By way of pronunciation. My last name is Pak but I would rather spell it Bak. Definitely not Park.

Lim and Lee are pronounced Eem and Ee. Not Leem and Lee.

But yes, in English, Korean people have spelled it Lim, Lee, Park.

My korean vowel spelling goes:
ㅏ - a
ㅑ - ya
ㅓ - eo
ㅕ - yeo
ㅗ - o
ㅛ - yo
ㅜ - oo
ㅠ - yoo
ㅡ - eu
ㅣ - ee
ㅐ - ae
ㅒ - yae
ㅔ - ei
ㅖ -yei

Why do you think you're some kind of authority on how to spell their names? If they're going to write their names in English, then they're going to use a spelling that sounds less awkward in English

This is like some guy named Michael going to Japan and making everyone call him "Michael" instead of "Maikeruu" or whatever sounds less awkward in Japanese
