I don't know...I think Koreans could possibly play better if they didn't practice as long and actually got more sleep. But that's just not how they do things.

I think whether overpracticing works or not is also partially a cultural thing. If you are used to it you can probably handle it but if you are not it can break you down and you have to refer to the overpracticing doesn't work in order to excuse yourself.

Actually I take back what I said about the arms wide open thing Nony. Fuck you and anyone that puts their love for a woman above their love for Starcraft. You are a traitor!

The only way you can earn me back as a friend is by winning me more money in SC bet games LOL.

I don't know about cultural, but overpracticing is definitely a personal thing. Same thing happens with real sports, or even playing music - some people get better when they really grind on their instrument/sport over and over, and some people require inspiration that only comes with not touching it for a while so their head can develop whatever it needs to. Different people can be different ways with different things as well... I really need lots of reps in sports, but when it comes to music I find that beyond a certain point I don't gain anything from the practice until I rest.

All of that aside, good luck to Nony with what he does... and good luck to Idra... keep representing!

for those saying that koreans overpractice, while i agree the hours they put in are inhumane, i think you only have to look as far as the ACE team to see how much the mechanics begin to falter without that insane amount of practice.

like rek said, maybe back in the day you could get away with raw talent, but these days top-notch mechanics seem to be a prime necessity.

in a rare moment i am agreeing with rekrul here, if you are really passionate about anything (starcraft or otherwise), you have to make sacrifices to get what you want. i think it's sad for the foreign starcraft community that was supporting nony that it seems his relationship is more important, but if that's the case then that is fine, but it's not a recipe to follow if you want to be successful

Don't put guilt on Nony...
He doesn't owe us anything wtf is wrong with some of you guys?

I would drop anything for my girl. If that is his reason then I totally understand.

But what his reason is doesn't matter. He is living his life the way he wants to and who are any of us to think less of him for that?

nony went to korea for an experience and for the opportunity to become a progamer. he got the experience, but for whatever reason (lets assume fiance) he had to come home. if it was a choice between a girl who he obviously loves and a game that's on its way out and a career thats a long, hard road, its an easy choice. it's not like nony is coming back to the states to live in poverty either.

how about nony is really passionate about his family, or his fiance, and has to make sacrifices to make himself and them happy, and one of those is pursuing a career as a progamer? life is not a fairy tale, sometimes you need to take a step back and look at the reality of the situation. chasing long shot hopes when a great life is waiting for you somewhere else is not a "recipe for success" in my book.

ultimately, its a decision nony should make, and that decision shouldn't be judged by people spouting cliched sayings about chasing your dreams. it's easy to criticize when your life isn't the one affected. korean progamer is hard, difficult life. i'm happy for nony and i'm sure his decision was the right one.

i don't see how this would be any different than any of the current proteams, so if the sponsor did all the proper paperwork and applied for the proper licenses why not?

that's all well and fine hot_bid, and i agree if that is more important to him at this moment then that is his choice, but it's pretty hilarious now considering daniel lee didn't like how much older nony was which artosis defended (seems super dan was right), and i'm sure a lot of other younger starcraft players in that tournament are going to feel like as if nony squandered an opportunity they wouldn't have. things being hard is not an excuse.

that said, all the best to nony, he seems like a great guy and i wish him nothing but the best
