OGN has a TV Program where Shinae, Nal_ra and 2 other ex progamers play on battle.net. They're just saying Nal_ra when to film that program so he couldn't be there for the program. | ||

Those commentators have been covering Starcraft for a long long time. Their influence is arguably just as great. You can link it to someone like John Madden. These guys have been around for a long time. Kim Carrier's known for being the biggest failure at predictions ever, and without commentators on OGN and MBC, Starcraft definitely wouldn't have garnered as great of an interest. | ||

I feel really bad for this to happen, even more so to fans of those players(How many savior fans are changing thar tl sigs now?) I was lucky, I wasn't a huge fan of any of these players however I did have a passing interest in go.go. I feel bad for the fans of the players most of all. Finding out your hero's are not who they seem is never a good time. I've never even thought about the implications of teams possibly disbanding and the meaning that ACE had on the scene. This whole episode puts into light how serious this scandal really is. Boxer and Oov standing up for the scene and holding strong, if the fans are the roots, then Boxer and oov is the ground they are in. Thanks tl subs. You guys rock. | ||

I'm pretty sure they are legitimately mad, but imo, they were overacting for the camera. Boxer was legit. Looked like he was about to break down at one point. Guy loves e-sports like a baby. Boxer forever. these two also put in 10 years of their freakin life into esports, and, while I dont know about Kim Carrier, the fat dude was also a player himself at one point, so why on earth would you think that they are overemotional and that they dont love e-sports like boxer does. | ||

Boxer forever. Carrier is quite direct, and when he talks, I feel how much he cares and loves the scene, and how everything is hurting even the commentators Quite surprising for me when Kingdom says that "player enviroment" is better now than in his old days. Shit!! nowadays, when kids play 12/14 straight hours, how it was in his prime??? | ||

Nowadays, while they still work a whole lot, they get to live in somewhat comfortable buildings and get food for free and have contracts with a monthly salary. | ||

Shit!! nowadays, when kids play 12/14 straight hours, how it was in his prime??? This has been talked about on TL a fair amount in the past. Like Kingdom said there was small teams and they paid their rent/food etc with tournament winnings of a couple players. Xellos is famous and well respected for this he gave up a lot of his own money to keep the team together. I think I remember a boxer interview or maybe it was his autobiography when he was talking about practically living in a pc bang and eating 1 bag of ramen/day and practicing the rest. Ya progamers still practice a lot now but they do it in a stable environment, really nice practice facility with plenty of staff, good food, beds, salary etc. It's really no comparison to how it used to be. | ||
