Fantasy streaming BW at 7pm KST today

Last year around November, contract with sandbox ended and I was looking for more teams
It didn't work out so well so I started playing SC1 a bit. I played until January, and I was wondering about if I should stream but it didn't seem right, so I didn't

English classes, exercising (swimming), middle/high school lectures, league ect (after)

around at end of April, I heard JYJ reached finals of ASL
I intended to just obs the games and guide
But JYJ didn't have anyone to practice with so I played around 5 times
JYJ was doing a lot of experimenting on builds so I won a bit more (early-mid game)
My mechanics aren't 100% back yet

May 26th came Saudi-cup invitation mail
Around here was when I had lots of thoughts about my future and nothing interesting was going on so I replied
I thought "I have to partipate in this"
and from here I began to play ladder a bit

First 3 games were just really hard and I had almost no game knowledge
I learned watching Light and Royal mainly

I slowly and steadily kept playing and my MMR started rising up, so around July I got on Snow's YouTube and rumors began flying around

These 3 mystery terran IDs are mine:
qweqwe thsvnfdj IIIIIIIII

Until 1 week before departing, I only played ladder
Few days before departure, I played some customs

Protoss: ParalyzE, Rain (when I won Baccus, I went to Ganju with these 2 and practiced)
Zerg: sOO (Build practice), Sacsri

Honestly, I thought it would be hard to practice at Saudi, so I thought of these games as my last practice games before tournament

But on site, I was lucky and met MC, so I played a few games and it helped.
It seemed like he wasn't playing SC2 at all so I asked MC for help a day before MC's games

He declined suddenly saying "man, I think I might need to play some SC2" and then proceeded to win
Borrowed MC's earphones and MVP helped around when I felt under weather

For Saudi, I mainly practiced around image-training in my head and it helped a lot
During the actual games, as soon as I won my first match, I immediately thought "wow, this might be possible"
Afterwards, luck was on my side and a lot of pieces fell together

For now, at end of this month, I will go to Seoul. Somewhere to rent out
Reason behind this is, I have offer from unviersity to be a League lecturer in 2nd semester

Nowadays, universities have league and from next on, electives on League may be created
so for this year, I got invited to be special lecturer
(also nearer to GF)

I have agent on League of Legends side, and there seems to be positive news around League. so I think I will attempt on League this year at least

if there isn't any hope, I wouldn't, but it seems to be positive so I planned around it since I have uni lecture and moving to seoul anyway

I'm not solely looking for 1st team opportunities, but 2nd team as well since I don't really have any accomplishment and I feel like I have unfinished business in League.

so for this year at least, I will focus on League

Why are Korean millionaires living like university students from Bulgaria who went to study in *insert any European country* on a dollar a day budget and dumpster diving? This is a serious question.

TvZ, defensive firebat- since lurker stacking didn't exist when I played, I felt like it was great idea.
I use it often

Damn, I support him but I hope he doesn't get locked away in league in all honesty. It's purely selfishness but I really hope he streams Broodwar even if it's once in a while.

I am not versed in LoL at all but can you point a few links to discussions on these? I thought they had a fixed licensed league in South Korea, inhhoused streaming instead of OGN, Spotv, Afreeca, academies and world championships. Did people just get tired, was there some scandal, did riot change things?

Thank you jinjin for all the translations! Classic stork story, asks for a regular match then plays timid and crashes out. At least in asl15 it was against the later champion.

At least in Europe and in North America teams are operating a loss. in part because of bad marketing and because player salaries skyrocketed around 2018 because teams thought they could easily secuee top talents and team success by simply outbidding other teams. Salaries are so high teams actually cant afford their own players. Its their own fault. whether this same thing applies in Korea or China where marketing is done much better I dont know. I do know each team has some players with multi million yearly salaries.

To add to this: as someone who isn't 14 years old anymore and is a bit jaded about gaming in general, Riot basically aimed, and succeeded, at making League a lifestyle thing, not just a game. What I mean by that is that they have all these casters, meta jokes/comments, all that production value. You might say that those are good and normal things for other games, but for me personally everything seems extremely artificial, even sinister and uncanny to a degree. TSM was in deep with all the FTX shenanigans. The NA scene looks extremely unhealthy in every way possible.

In short, they took a game and made it into a way bigger thing that it should've been. So there is this bubble that's about to pop really soon. That's my take at least and that's why I think Fantasy will come back to BW sooner - he's quite intelligent and introverted, so a smaller and tigher community would work better for him.
