Junwi is taking an awesome first step as the new president. Nothing is better than helping a fellow progamer in need, even if he is still in the BW scene. Nice to see that despite all the SC2 vs BW BS being thrown around, the progamers still treat each other like comrades.

Since KT Rolster is also having its players donate blood for Violet, he should soon be infused with the blood of the best of BW and SC2, which bodes well for his return to progaming after he recovers.

<3 junwi and his first decree as King of the nerds SC2 players.

[Cyber] athletes* haha

Also yeah I am a bit confused/worried they pick a player as the president? But may be it is because my view of what the role is like is wrong; to me I thought they would need some experienced person in business/social affairs and whatnot for this kind of work? Thought it was more like a... well, what our congressman do in government. If you know what I mean. xD

This is different from the starcraft 2 conference which is made up of the team managers/etc. This organization is a player's union of sorts.

Violet getting blood infusions from starcraft players sounds like some sort of Frankenstein attempt to create the ultimate gosu.

Congrats to Junwi though, and really, how could anyone not support his first act as president? Things are looking good! Hopefully Violet gets better too!

Even if they don't necessarily respect the game I hope hardcore Broodwar supporters recognize and support this move. Demanding a players association in BW would be a great next step.

Even though I don't follow SC2 I think this is a great idea.
Good look to Junwi!

I still remember Junwi when he was about 15 years old.

The first time we met he was crawling around so shy to meet foreigners.

Thank God they didn't vote for Tester. It would suck to see my favorite protoss get occupied with organizational activities.

This is great for advancing eSports and the SC2 scene! It's great to see players supporting other players apart from in practice, healthy and happy progamers get much better results than sad and sick ones, I hope Violet gets better!

A step in the right direction for esports - and a great first initiative by Junwi for the blood drive..

Cannot wait to see what more comes of the players association..
