culture shock is just have trouble adjusting to living conditions different than what you're used to

the living conditions for a progamer or pro team trainee are pretty fucking different than what most any westerner is used to. doesnt really matter that its voluntary, its still different.

I'm saying that litteraly doesn't mean anything. It's neither cultural or a culture.

how is it not a culture

i think you're confused about the definition of culture
it doesnt have to be a country or anything, just a group of people with a specific set of characteristics and behaviors and stuff

like progamers/progaming

You talk about living conditions within a training. I totally agree its a fucked up way of living, now I'm pretty sure that most people here refer to cultural shock as the country and not the pro team house.

11 hours of starcraft a day, EVERY DAY, pretty much is.

It's not like he's playing WoW or something.

He's actually doing something that requires focus and stamina.

uhh, culture shock != country.

You can have a culture shock by going from a christian HS to a party college, or from a crappy HS to a academically rigorous and cutthroat college, and be faced with a "culture shock".

What, because the gamer actually has to change from being a lazy nerd playing all day obbing games relaxed doing whatever they want to playing all day hardcore to get good? Sorry to burst your bubble kids but it's not culture shock it's called hard fucking work. This is a super competitive 'sport' and if you want to get anywhere of course you have to work hard. Most gamers have never done any hard work in their lives and are lazy pathetic nerds so I guess I can see them being 'shocked' and crying about it as if it's not their fault and something they can't help.

I mean no fucking shit sherlocks?

Lmao.

Um, besides the whole training absurd amounts of time, isn't there also the senior/junior system that is pretty difficult to adapt to?

Having to treat older people with utmost respect and I guess having to do a lot of chores, and not getting the same from younger koreans because you're a foreigner?

Because it's true. Note the word 'most.'

Any kid able to play video games all the time obviously has had a pretty fortunate lazy life.

Nony! Lets get you back in making FPVOD =) Always good luck in your future endeavors once SC2 comes out! =)
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Bump. This totally missed my attention (thought this kind of news would be frontpage worthy... if it was on front page then my bad). Good luck to Nony in all his endeavours. I know he will be very successful, especially considering that he's a Duke graduate.
