Are IdrA and Ret not handsome enough for Koreans?

Are ret and IdrA too ugly to represent the foreigner community?

Title says all folks. I think that came off the wrong way. No, I don’t think ret and IdrA are really hideous or anything, I just think they’re not handsome enough to really represent the foreigners like Jaedong Bisu and Flash do in the Korean scene. Granted Flash isn’t quite as hot as Jaedong or Bisu, he’s still miles above IdrA or ret in my humble opinion. Now, like I said, IdrA and ret definitely aren’t ugly, they’re just “too ugly to represent the foreigner community” since the standards are so high there. Personally I think ret would be kinda cute if he lost some weight and IdrA could totally put on the moves if he lost the glasses. And I’m not saying that to be really mean or anything. It’s just that all the Koreans are really superficial – based on rekrul’s words – and they don’t like fat guys or ugly looking guys.

It’s just that… when I used to play starcraft, it was all about mondragon! And sometimes Draco. When you have a beefcake stud like mondragon and a person as gorgeous as Draco, it really helps to suck people into the game – especially girls, which would be really nice for the community in general. Now, it seems like mondy and draco have fallen off their pedestal but I don’t think IdrA or ret can adequately fill their shoes. Sure, ret and IdrA would school mondy or Draco with their insane mechanics and modern strategies but it just feels different (for me at least) when I watch IdrA play and when I watch Mondragon play. Mondy is just so much more handsome! Now, I know IdrA and ret probably don’t care too much about their physical appearance, but I really think they should. Maybe you could even attract girls into e-sports! I mean, it’s almost certain neither of you can reach the physical attractiveness of Mondi or Draco but you guys could still probably be a close second if you cared a bit more about your fans.

why would looks matter? as long as you can put up results... ever heard of JulyZerg? he's got a golden mouse. nobody can question his ability as a progamer which is all that matters.

Korean girls love success and money, stop worrying about looks when even gamers like Hiya and Go.go have fangirls. Just win and the poon will come.

There are a lot of ugly progamers (fantasy, hiya, go.go...).
Its just that ret/IdrA are white, can't speak korean and they're very different from koreans in general. I think if ret/IdrA could perfectly speak korean, koreans would notice them and hang around with them (if ret/IdrA are cool to them ofc^^).

Koreans are just too shy to communicate with foreigners. For example: I love to travel to other countries where I've to speak english/other languages, its just great and cool experience ^^

I think its just the different attitude and the language barrier which makes it hard for ret/idra to integrate in the korean community.

very smart op, you know that ret and idra are reading this right? Besides its not even true, ret could compete with the best looking foreigners if he sets his mind to do so. Idra would also look quite good with a more daring and open facial expression and posture.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes. Then
when you do criticize that person, you'll be a mile away and
have his shoes.

And don't dizz ret's mojo! I'd give that guy a piece of my lovin any day!

Lol... rets got sick looks and seeing the kind of koreans that play starcraft, I think its pretty clear there's no physical appearance aspect of it. Flash looks like he got kicked in the face... and fantasy's head is basically a wedge shaped.

when idra starts destroying koreans left and right, his appeal will increase as well

Not to be gay...
I find Ret looks cute
iDra looks funny, not ugly. He looks like Harry Potter in some shots, and a lot of girls would love to hook up with Daniel Radcliffe. iDra bringing Hogwarts to sc Pro scene o.o

In any case, I dont think looks matter at all. Only superficial guys are concerned about how girls looks, and girls concerned about themselves because they know a lot of guys are superficial o.o

in Korea they hardly even know that foreigners play Starcraft, let alone an American is on CJ B-Team

being attractive only helps if you get seen. I already think Idra and Ret are sexy enough as it is. Also if they moved to A-Team they'd probably have no choice to up their appearance with makeup and shit. Did Idra wear makeup on the first round of GOM?

any korean girl will tell you that the only three remotely handsome progamers are reach, boxer, and bisu. additionally, they will tell you that they only are liked more because they are progamers; if they weren't, they'd just be normal guys (except bisu, because he's a "pretty boy", which they even have a phrase for in korean)

I have thought this for some time, one is a scrawny nerd, and the other is overweight. It would be nice to have someone vaguely good looking such as Mondi, Fisheye, Elky (at least he has style), or Tasteless representing the crackerlicious team.

I think I would, because I've dated a korean exchange student and asked her and all of her friends about which gamers they thought were handsome. And by "asked" I mean shown them VODs and said "Do you think he's handsome?"

As a matter of fact I did miss Yellow, he would probably be considered ok. He has big eyes, but he also has a low nose.

You are dead wrong that korean girls only like 3 progamers, if they did they wouldn't make up pretty much the whole audience

what about Hwasin girls LOVE him, even Grrr had tons of female fans back in the day. You can't generalize korean girls by sitting them down, making them watch vods, and asking their opinion. Theyd probably tell you anything to get out of there and have fun with their friend

I dunno if that changes anything, since in order to prove what you originally said you'd need to have asked every existing Korean girl about every existing progamer. I get your point, but there are other progamers, hwasin and xellos to name a couple, who are considered good looking in korea.

Sorry guys, I didn't ask every korean girl on planet earth about which progamers are handsome, and neither did I include every progamer ever in my list when I did ask the 7 girls I got a chance to ask.

But I will say that many american people find george clooney handsome.

Terrakin, like I said, they're considered handsome in the progaming community, which would make those girls in the audience progaming fans.

Lol sorry guys I'm so dumb, you sure told me. Enjoy your thread from here on out, it's rightfully yours.

I don't understand most of your last post FridgeToss lol, you don't have to be a baby about it, just don't spread weird information with data you collect yourself.

Also I remember hearing from Tasteless (on a GOM cast) that alot of the Korean fangirls are there just so they can see their favorite player up close in person.

HURRY UP IDRA / RET! USE YOUR HANDSOME SKILLS FAST! GRAB YOUR VESSLES AND DEFILERS AND CAST HANDSOME SPELLS UPON YOURSELFS!

Seriously... what do you expect to gain from this thread? The feeling that you are not alone in complete superficiallity?

Ridiculous fucking thread. If I were an admin I would ip ban you (ip because obv you just made some random acct so your main one wouldn't be banned) for being so inconsiderate, abnoxious and straight up useless. Be happy that call is not mine.

Korean gamers like flash/bisu are caked in make up and picture perfect camera angles. If ret/idra had that TV magic i'd imagine they'd easily be better looking then 90% of progamers.

Why not? It's basically the opposite of Nada's body thread. Why is praise worthy of General, but scorn is not? I mean, I disagree with the OP: IdrA got all the girls swooning over Harry Potter, and Ret is just plain awesome. He also selectively "forgot" about a bunch of players more traditionally handsome. But seems like a general-worthy thread. Especially back in the day.

Nony = Bisu
Idra = Jaedong
Ret = Flash

In terms of hot. With Nony having the slight upperhand over Bisu. Jaedong with the upperhand over Idra and Ret is more cute than Flash anyday.

Frankly enough, I would say Trap was the most handsome korean player among others we had so far. Byun, both HerO and Polt also had good looks.

10 years ago we didn't realize this was copypasta.

Are ret and IdrA too ugly to represent the foreigner community?

Title says all folks. I think that came off the wrong way. No, I don’t think ret and IdrA are really hideous or anything, I just think they’re not handsome enough to really represent the foreigners like Jaedong Bisu and Flash do in the Korean scene. Granted Flash isn’t quite as hot as Jaedong or Bisu, he’s still miles above IdrA or ret in my humble opinion. Now, like I said, IdrA and ret definitely aren’t ugly, they’re just “too ugly to represent the foreigner community” since the standards are so high there. Personally I think ret would be kinda cute if he lost some weight and IdrA could totally put on the moves if he lost the glasses. And I’m not saying that to be really mean or anything. It’s just that all the Koreans are really superficial – based on rekrul’s words – and they don’t like fat guys or ugly looking guys.

It’s just that… when I used to play starcraft, it was all about mondragon! And sometimes Draco. When you have a beefcake stud like mondragon and a person as gorgeous as Draco, it really helps to suck people into the game – especially girls, which would be really nice for the community in general. Now, it seems like mondy and draco have fallen off their pedestal but I don’t think IdrA or ret can adequately fill their shoes. Sure, ret and IdrA would school mondy or Draco with their insane mechanics and modern strategies but it just feels different (for me at least) when I watch IdrA play and when I watch Mondragon play. Mondy is just so much more handsome! Now, I know IdrA and ret probably don’t care too much about their physical appearance, but I really think they should. Maybe you could even attract girls into e-sports! I mean, it’s almost certain neither of you can reach the physical attractiveness of Mondi or Draco but you guys could still probably be a close second if you cared a bit more about your fans.

Honestly, I'm not good at gauging this kind of thing in general but I assumed that IdrA was conventionally attractive and Ret was average.
