Well NonY I know how it feels, I kinda been thro the same thing on a different sphere of life.

Good luck in your future endeavors and I hope to see you kicking ass in SC2, and hopefully, for all the simplification, the game gets more global and people like you will have a much better shot at being PRO.

Moronic post. Don't know what "Western" society you're living in. But personally I've never even seen a PC room. Our e-sports is not anywhere near the level that theirs is on. I mean c'mon, also the language barrier? I can speak to anyone I please over here, for the most part. Who can NonY speak to? Artosis, Tastless, and sometimes IdrA?



Yeah i agree. I live in Asia and i know in terms of culture Korea is still very much traditional compared to china, singapore, taiwan, japan. These 4 countries are the only ones nearer to western laidback culture.

i'm not a quiter in nature so i can't agree if reasons are cultural...

Would you ?

Does it matter ?

He probably realized what he was up against and didnt feel it was worth it, after all, he had other options, while for many of those pro players being a PRO is theyr best chance at greatness.
And with sc2 coming out, I think it would get more demotivating everyday(assuming he quit because he wasant satisfied with the current course of action), because it might launch, and suddenly all that time in korea was for nothing, because the whole scene changed.

Theres always to many variables in life, dont judge people.

I was hoping it was gonna work out for Nony. Especially after watching him in the courage tourny. Good luck to him.

Sad to see, but totally understandable. I can't imagine how hard it is to go to a country like Korea, where everything is so different. Best of luck to you.

Author of "moronic post" had his episode of being a progamer in Korea. Sure, these were different times when you look at how proteams are run, but looking at his blog might give you some hints on how guy knows their society/culture.

PS comments like "moronic post" don't add much to the discussion.

You shouldn't. He quit because he didn't make it to Korea his first try. Anyone that quits that easily would've crumpled.

You might tend to think this because you're beeing sequestred in front of a computer, while you could as well go around and meet the country.

I guess when your needs will expand to something more than just sitting, playing and posting, you'll forget very quick about starcraft.
