It's really nice too see all the atention around Draco. But we have to wait for his first results in Starlegues to see if all this buzz around him is really necessary. Anyways GL, and Draco Fighting!

ugh if he ever makes it into a starleague I would say he has done fucking excellent.

I think that all those ppl who think his dedication is "weird" should consider the situation in Poland. Hell just consider the situation in that region in general. So many wars. So much fallout from Europe's history. First the Nazi's and then the Soviets. It's safe to say that Poland is still very much recovering.

Couple this with the fact that he lives in a small town (and would probably find it VERY hard to get good education and make something of himself in Poland) the prospect of playing for $20K (U.S $?) paychecks is MUCH better than what he can hope to make in the next few years in Poland. Besides, his association with Starcraft might even lead to him being employed to work for some game developers (which has already happened with some pros) doing some kind of programming, graphics design etc. Again, that's way better than what he could hope to achieve in Poland.

Now, compare that to Rekrul and Legionnaire. Both of these people had easy lives up to that point (in comparison). They both were doing college/university at the time in their respective countries. They both had every chance of being successful in their own country.

Personally, I think Draco is going into this thing with more conviction and dedication than some Koreans. Couple that with the fact that he has good apm and creativity, I think he'll go very far!

Definately the one to look out for!!!

bah, dont make it look like Poland is some village, yes we are not Germany or France but it's not that bad here ;p komunisk pased us almost 20 years ago...

the differenec between leg/rek and draco is the age I think - they went to kor few years back when progaming was samething ''new'' and they simply wanted too try it (or so I think). They checked it out, decided that plaing in their favourite game 12 hours a day is not for them and they quit. Draco on the other hand wanted to become a progamer for few years now and so he exacly knew what it means too be a pro.

He's going to fail of course.

Every single foreigner has stopped playing SC professionally.

When will the last die hard foreigners learn??

Its very interesting how all the foreign players are protoss. I guess its because Korea itself demands more protoss + the tradition and recoginition of foreign protoss skill.

Can some korean explain a bit about that?
