Obviously whoring isn't the *only* problem. Whoring, going to normal clubs chasing girls, gambling...I've seen countless progamers succumb to these vices and their careers ruined. The worst of the examples is one that I didn't list and its *REALLY* bad.

Well rekrul's saying that whoring kills motivation for gaming because it's an easy source of satisfaction.

This sentence makes no sense dude Explain me how could you lose motivation for whores. The need of sex is just like comparable to eating and pissing, it can't just kill your career unless you spend the whole day on that (which progamers can't do since they are forced on strict practice schedules).
btw where is incontrol [image loading]

You shouldn't hold this against them though. Whoring is a big part of Korean society/economy and it's not taboo here at all like it is in most non-asian countries. Tons of korean men do it no matter what background they come from...so don't make it out like they are just pathetic little nerds going to fuck whores in some back alley. I'm just merely telling you guys why they fail in the end. Corruption.

Well, I think this is the part of the e-sport news and dirt we do not need to know about and it isn't any of our business. While it is really important to stay away from these moral traps, because they really do poison our minds and its everywhere, I think we should just stay out of the business of these pro-gamers. I'd like to just keep my pro-gamer heroes my pro-gamer heroes. Sad that these individuals get themselves involved with this filth and sleeze when there are much more lasting happiness and gratification by being a part of the team or whatever their main thing in life is.


I think this goes for any media or buisiness. Music even. I don't care about the bad reputation of the musicians, I just love the music. And most of the times they get a bad rap for no good untrue reason. People twist things alot.
Hoo Ra!

Anyone who follows suit into prostitution is pretty fucking degenerate regardless of the environment. Weak-willed individuals who can't keep a goal up in the air and collapse into temptation, no respect.

But I still think some players like GGplay, slump because of their psychological factors, falling off from the pressure of being 1# or simply not being what they once were. Please don't tell me he fucks and gambles around, can't imagine that for him.

Reasons for believing this:

1) It comes from Rekrul
2) It does, admittedly, make sense

Reasons for not believing this:

1) It comes from Rekrul. I can imagine him sitting back in his chair and typing this up, thinking how hilarious it would be if he convinced everyone on teamliquid that progamers fail because they are fucking bitches.

Not true. A lot of very rich / powerful / famous men turn to high end call girls because a) its quick and efficient b) its discreet and c) generally the girls know how to please much better than the average trophy date

don't make bullshit broad character judgments or psychological assumptions

Really[Alive] = Casy?

- Do not try to overcome the Slump, its impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth...

- What truth?

- There is no Slump.
