OKAY

I'll just post here because Steven posted. And it made me laugh, because on msn he just pretends this site doesn't exist while he actually reads it.

Most of you ppl here, but very very very very few, don't have any fucking clue what pro gaming truely is.

I often read up this site, because I can find links to vods. And I often come across some of the most retarded comments about starcraft there can be. Some can be legendary actually.

It's truely entertaining. And I myself think that rekrul started this thread to have some fun.

You need potential and talent to be at the top. Talent increases and develops its potential with practice. But if you knew shit about pro gaming in korea, if you'd have been there, seen it with your own eyes, lived in and from it, you'd knew that your so called "insane practice" is very natural to talented players and nothing really special they keep bringing up and braging about.

When I see some of you talking about pro gamer's perfomances in leagues and judging their skills makes me very much laugh. Do you actually have any idea of how hard and fucked up it can be to go through the prelimns ?

Have you ever once in your life, every witnessed a starcraft lan with pro gamers other than the shitty wcg ? That would blow you. Because before you get there, and actually see it, there is no way to actually "imagine" it.

You have to know as well, the koreans see the game and its dephts in a very different way than foreigners do. Korean players don't think and argue and debate the game as much we do. Furthermore, they don't communicate alot between each others and keep jealously replays away from sights.

The standards you use to debate and understand progaming are foreign standards. Unexperienced standards, leading you to wrong assumptions.

What rekrul said is 750% true.

The only two players that ever had any good shot at pro gaming were grrrr and elky. Elky having a difference with grrrr as he never got any special treatment or wildcard to any league.

All others that have gone korea failed. Including me, prolly the worst one^^. But, I was very young and I didn't give a shit. I mostly played diablo 2 as any form of practice for tournaments.

Now someone said somewhere "smuft" sucked. To that person, and his friends, if he has some, as I was very close to Steven when he was in Korea with elky, and helped him out, I can assure you that ammongst all the foreigners that ever gone to korea, this kid had the most potential. He was the one who could go top 5 gamei at its golden age in 3 days after reset. He was the one to destroy top korean zergs while eating or drinking something, going 4 packs of DTs against pure hydralisks. As for some facts, plz know that archoncap (nal'ra) basically started to get famous after copying smuft's pvz strats and high scoring gamebug / gamei, and that it was even posted on korean boards that Nal'ra was a fucking poser of smuft.

Most of you are newcomers, and rekrul is right when he says this lineup is filled by 3rd class newbies of the old days. This is not a flame, that's a fucking fact. Only a very young and unknown player that would show up would have any actual chance to do something in korea. If you've been "trying" since all this time, and didn't succeed, that basically mean you suck.

Please also, refrain from commenting grrrr... as he is and will remain, with boxer, oov, nada, (prolly on top of them) the best player of all times. Grrrr... was a phenomenum, and would still be if he didnt give up starcraft already in 2000. You people have no fucking clue who Guillaume was. Nobody ever played like him.

None of you on this site, and outside korea, but a very few, have any fucking skill to tell what "talent" is in this game.

At last, if you think that misregarded and crappy tournament WCG is, constitutes any form of proof for someone's potenatial to do good in korea, then you should forget about commentating starcraft.

Guys, he really did go to Korea. His ID was FrenChBOy and he played in one (or two? I don't remember) of the Game-Q leagues.

I don't think he did anything after that, though.

If you figure anyone should give a fuck about what you have to say you'd better give a reason, with a post like that

If "talent" doesent exist then why the the fuck did Donald Thomas win the mens high jump after only competing for 2 years versus people that have been practicing all their lives? Why is it that people that get to play in NHL/NFL/NBA teams at very young ages are better then guuys that have been playing/practicing the sport of choice in 20 years? The old guys have been slacking for 20 years?

Arguing that talent does not exist is the single most retarded shit i have ever heard!

Whatever happens, at the end of the day, who ever wins this tournement is going to go to Korea and have a huge reality check.

I don't think many of us can really argue against Rek when he's been to Korea, sat in the practice rooms and played in the prelim tournies. We watch reps, we watch vods, some of us are know/skilled enough to get games from top koreans. But at the end of the day, go play in a tourney against people who have been hardcore practicing for 14 hours a day, everyday and have the pressure on them not to fail; only then can you really gain a true understanding of what seperates us from the f3aReD koReaNz.

as i see it the dispute is this, whether the gap between koreans and nonkoreans is due to talent or environment. the two empirical claims of consequence, assuming talent exists and matters at the top level, are the talent level of koreans, and teh talent level of nonkoreans. and for this discussion, the talent level of nonkoreans is the main point of contention.

at this point then, it is not a disagreement over general principles, but claims about talent level of specific individuals. i do not see the point of examining these claims by way of contending general principles of talent/training/game evolution.

I think environment has a huge influence; our societies are too different. A non-korean starcraft player is dedicating himself to something that isn't socially excepted and lives with the destractions and negative influences (negaitve meaning; influences that aren't positive/starcraft) and have much more to fall back on interms of career/lifestyle/etc. In Korea, one actually chooses to make Starcraft their LIFE, their career. A korean starcraft player can put the same ammount of passion into getting good at starcraft as someone in north american society would to succeed in school and college/university. I think, no matter how passionate you are (as a north american) about starcraft, our environment can't sustain that passion, and therefore will never have the same ambition to succeed and be that good.

I think we all need to read Boxer's blog again. The ammount of desire, ambition and passion he had to succeed as a Starcraft progamer is almost uncomprehendable; well for me atleast.

Rekrul, ever heard the phrase ignorance is bliss?

It'd be much nicer/reasonable for you to stay out of other people's business (like Artosis). I don't think he did anything that was especially BM that called for this. So unless you just like being a downer towards other people and have people be like "LOLZ rekrul pwnzered him" there's no positive value to doing this especially when you pick on a seemingly undeserving target.
