I realize it's a part of Oriental culture to work until one drops dead, or in iloveoov's case ends up in the hospital, but a little pragmatism would help their cause a great deal. Interestingly, in China when one practices Tai Chi (what "Kung Fu" is derived from) there is a sort of rule that practitioners apply to themselves. They say if you practice for 3 hours a day, it will take you 24 years (give or take a few) to learn how to control your "chi". If you practice for 6 hours it will take you 12 years. But if you practice for 12 hours a day it will again take you 24 years. If you practice for 18 hours a day it will take you over 30 years. The point is that even in the martial arts they recognize a limit to what the body and mind are capable of digesting in a single day. There are also similarities with many professional sports athletes. | ||

It's not strong but also defenitivel not weak. I'd guess his point was that T1's Z lineup is weak by comparison to its other races'. And there are different definitions of domination. SKT just won the Proleague, and they were favorites going into the final, but the outcome was by no means a sure thing. He was just saying that if they had a Z as good as Fantasy and Bisu, it would be like the opposite of ACE's matches: no one who was looking for close games would watch, because virtually every series would just be rape. | ||

Ok let say they have Calm instead of Hyuk. So how different would the result become? | ||

There are also similarities with many professional sports athletes. This is a somewhat shortsighted way to look at it. Cutting sleep routinely (or permanently) is definitely not a good thing, but doing it in specific situations is often worthwhile. Just like when you have a test that you're not feeling too prepared for, cutting 2 hours of sleep (not staying up the whole night though) is probably worth it, especially if you can make it up later. While optimally you'd always be prepared enough not to need to cut sleep in the end, that's not realistic (especially in progaming given the erratic nature of the scheduling). | ||

He played in all of CJ's Super Ace matches and most of their ace matches and he had to face an invincible Jaedong. As far as I know, he never does ceremonies and is a pretty modest guy.

Yes, everyone knows that sleep is vital to human health, you need 8 hours a day, etc. But the rest of this post is, not trying to provoke a flame war here, utterly wrong. Let's try to generalize Oriental culture based on South Korean Professional Starcraft gaming. There is no "Oriental culture". In case you haven't noticed or been there, Han Chinese, ethnic minorities throughout Asia, the Japanese, the South Koreans, the Taiwanese, the Vietnamese and whoever else I'm excluding, all have a history of either raiding or killing each other. A Japanese person in Tokyo is not going to have the same "Oriental culture" as a Mongolian nomad. Then, you talk about TaiChi Chuan in China. You'd think that the part of "Oriental culture" that prompts working hard until death directly contradicts the TaiChi Chuan ideal of optimal practicing for Qi control. The players that practice that much and work that hard do it because they have a passion for the game, not because it's injected in some made up supra-national cultural identity. | ||

Ahh speaking of team practice can you IMAGINE how sexy Jaedong would be if he practiced 10 hours a day with Bisu/Best/Fantasy/Canata? Of course all of their X vs.Z's would improve as well, and they are his competition in individual leagues... | ||
