To be honest, Nony is getting ALOOOOT more praise than Idra. I mean seriously, nobody in the shithole community of Fomos is actually saying anything bad to him

"he likes bisu kekekekekekekekeke he gotta watch his ass (??? is bisu gay?)"


Hahaha. We need some of this in IRC =P.

Its kinda of an "Epeen" thing, like "LOL MY SKOOL IS RANK 15 U SUXXOR" but in real life.
Its really childish, but once the koreans get to sophomore year their epeen meter wont mean shit.

rofl the fomos thread is awesome ahaha

we krns sure do love our well known american colleges ;d and for ppl who asked why they make such a big deal out of it is cuz in korea where you go to college basically determines a lot of your life: youre simply classified by where you went and that affects the jobs you get as well as your connections etc ;o

NonY is smart and dedicated. I hope he doesn't get too discouraged from being trounced by Koreans all day long . Once they reprogram him, he'll be in Proleague in no time.

here are some more translations of comments on that fomos post.
-----------
프로리그무대에서 보길 나도 바라는바임..근데 현실은 참혹하다능..
(regarding his first goal in korea)I also would like to see him in proleague. But reality is harsh.

과연 이 외국인은 얼마나 버틸까....ㅋㅋ
how long would this foreigner last...hehe

좀몬해도 한번써줘봐 일단 어차피 이스트로 꼴지팀인데
Use him even if he is not good enough. Estro is already worst team.

만 22에 현 23세에 게이머생활시작인데.. 실패하지말고 꼭 열심히 하길. 얼굴도 호감형인데.
he is starting progamer career at an age of 23. I hope you succeed and stay diligent.

우선 언어부터 통해야 할텐데... 잘 적응할수 있을까 걱정이네..
First problem is language barrier... I'm worried for him.

김택용 좋아하나? 게이?
Likes Bisu? gay?

먼나라 와서 고생하는데 잘됬으면 좋겠네요
Since you have come to a far country, I hope it goes well for you.

이스트로 요즘 잘하는데 왜 꼴찌??
Estro is doing good recently. wtf worst team?

꼴찌는 공군이지.--;;
worst team is ACE

이지호감독이 외국인들을 많이 데려오더군! 영어가 되니까..
I see Daniel Lee is bringing a lot of foreign players! Due to his fluency in english.

하루 6시간이면, 이제부턴 좀 더 열심히 해야할듯. 잘됐으면 좋겠다, 이젠 이스트로도 약팀이 아니니
If it's 6hours a day he practices, he needs to put in more effort from this point. I hope he does well, Estro is not a weak team now.

남 잘되는꼴 못봐서 안달이네 재가 어딜 다니든 말든 뭔 상관이야
you guys are jealous of other's success(Duke).. why does it matter what school he goes to.

김택용을 좋아하다니 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 엉덩이 조심 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
He likes bisu hahahahahahahahahaahahahaha watch out for your ass hahahahahahahaha


and some more people talking about Duke.. flaming each other and so on..
about Nony.. I see mostly positive comments.. I personally wish he rises to some status like Savior and Bisu. It would be more interesting for me.

Boxer is the truth.
