Dude was great, a bit shy indeed (back at wcg 2010) but his jawline looked ok.( I never thought i d say this on TL or anywhere for that matter). That being said it s easy to blame it on korean culture. Sure plastic surgery s more common there but it s always a choice and there are always risk, I dont consider him a victim in this case, more a case of an unfortunate chain of event. But you make it sound like he has no responsibility at all there which is simply untrue. Spoilering my reply because it has nothing to do with ASL: + Show Spoiler + I don't think you quite understand the social pressure. I've heard that EffOrt was genuinely denied opportunities to break out as one of the best Zerg players on the planet, held back in favor of Zergs that "would look better on a poster". This is something of an open secret. South Korea is the plastic surgery capital of the world. This article about it disturbed me when I first read it. Quote: “When you’re nineteen, all the girls get plastic surgery, so if you don’t do it, after a few years, your friends will all look better, but you will look like your unimproved you,” a college student who’d had a double-eyelid procedure told me. “We want to have surgeries while we are young so we can have our new faces for a long time,” another young woman said. That is no longer a possibility for me, I’m afraid. It sucks that Kal was taken in by this cultural norm. Yes, you're right, he had the choice to decline. I'm also convinced he was pushed gradually towards it over the course of his life by a lot of people who flat out told him that he should do it. It is a part of South Korean culture currently. A shitty one in my opinion, one not worth adopting, but the currently established cultural norm is to look as conventionally attractive as possible, and the societal pressures to conform are amplified by the culture of respectful obedience to everyone above you. | ||

Added: BoxeR to Group 1! BeSt to Group 5 Pusan and Light to Group 9 HyuK to Group 11 Removed: HerO, because: It was inaccurate. Also, Snow, TerrOr, and HerO don't want to unveil their groups until they arrive. Movie has stated that he won't participate in Seoul, but he is going to Busan or Daegu. As for Free, apparently he has wrist problems, which is why he is not participating in ASL Season 4. Get better soon Free! | ||

LastScan called him "A zerg who plays only crazy zerg style in zvt. 2h muta ultra switch user." I wish he had made more of a showing, but he was up against some strong players in pools. | ||

If you look at those games, he has the early/mid game mapped out pretty well, but all it took was one mistake to completely shatter his mentality. Who is Purpose? Is that Anfod? | ||

People called him "NtO'Ho9" and found some games they thought was him, but I don't know if it was. Quote Scan: On April 03 2017 13:26 LaStScan wrote: A zerg who plays only crazy zerg style in zvt. 2h muta ultra switch user. | ||
