It seemed like MrHoon was updating the post as he went, so I would suppose he doesn't have much more translated. | ||

For this reason pro gamers deserve far more respect than pro athletes in any other sport, whats more they also earn less, your average NFL player earns alot of money more than even the top players in Starcraft. Pro gamers sacrifice education and a life really in exchange for what, a chance at stardom I suppose, but the gains are far less than other sports and the practice routine for more intense and the chances of being the greatest much lower, and if you do gain this than it is incredibly short lived. In NFL etc you can physically only practice so much so you inherently have significant time to rest up but in Starcraft you spend basically your entire life practicing Starcraft. Progamers are in my opinion people to be admired far more than any footballer. | ||

If you have no idea what you are talking about, please don't act like you do. NBA players, especially the stars, have to consistently practice to maintain their level and compete with other players. Or maybe even to keep their starting/roster spot. I don't know how much you were exaggerating, but my goodness, this is simply ignorant. Just because there are rare exceptions doesn't mean this is how the NBA works. | ||

Do you even realize how fucking minuscule the chances of becoming an NBA professional is? Don't throw shit about how people are calling you out because this is some American site. Don't use some pathetic excuse like that. I am calling you out simply because what you said is absolutely moronic. People on this forum so often cry and throw "BM" when a lot of the time when someone gets shit thrown at them shit gets thrown at them for a reason. Don't spew bullshit if you don't want to get shit on. | ||

I am still young so there are still very many lustrous traps for me, but for Boxer to be a progamer still is quite amazing. MAESTRO! STAY AWAY FROM + Show Spoiler + THE BATHHOUSE | ||

E-sports in Korea may be the most advanced in the world and it's come a long long way but it's still a relatively young industry. | ||

I also agree with nony, practice doesn't make proffesionalism. | ||
