Aspirations of going to Korea to be a pro-gamer? Always dreamed of watching the legends themselves clash live? Aching to experience a new culture? Any good at BroodWars? If you answered yes to all of those questions then we have something in store for you.
Introducing the World Korea Tour: Your Body and Seoul Experience.
The Format We will be accepting 16 players for this tournament. The format will be a triple round robin elimination system leading up to our grand finals. 4 groups of 4 will play round robin best 2-out-of-3 matches against eachother. Top 2 from each group advance and we then mix the groups again and we are left with 2 groups of 4. Repeat the process and we are left with 1 group of 4. At this point you play best 3-out-of-5 round robin matches (tie-breakers as well if needed) until we are left with 2 men. Finals will be played in a best 4-out-of-7 format.
The Maps Maps used will be an assortment of maps ranging from current progaming maps, WCG maps, classics, and maybe even some surprises.
When? Approximately 1 week after WCG ends.
Entry Fee Absolutely Free.
What Can I Win? Unfortunately, we cannot offer you a progaming contract with SKT1 or get you a seed in the OGN StarLeague. But the one who can rise above the rest and prove himself the best current foreign BroodWars player will recieve a prize package in Seoul, South Korea to see the gaming mecca first hand and experience the culture guided by a few of those who were fortunate to get to do what we all have always dreamed to do. Includes an all expenses paid package for two weeks in Seoul (flight is also paid) and 1000$ spending money. Date of the trip is up to you but preferably in November or December of this year.
How do I get invited? To be invited you most completely fill out our application form. Contestants will be chosen based on a variety of factors, first and foremost being how good we feel you are at BroodWars. Please send all applications via PM to Rekrul on TL.net. Thank you.

another great opportunity provided to us from A) Smuft, master of the WDT Click for reference and B) Rekrul, co-genius of "StarCraft Camp" Click for reference
Sign me up negro, I should get a complementary invite just for being so hot. (How do you know my weight anways? -_-)
I sent in my app, joke or not the chance to be a giant american drunk amongst tiny korean goofballs is to great to ignore.
I recommend allowing me in this tourney and even rigging it so i win no matter what. I promise amazing pictures involving hot asian girls and suggestive yet decent poses.
Further I will spend at least a small portion of that 1000$ on getting a SC related tattoo.

ROFL YOU DONT PASS THE Lbs/LENGHT CRITERIA LARD ASS !!!!!!
(your gf still loves you though, so do I. Shes hot)
and ofcourse this is not a joke. Tsk~ Im going for it too, I heard I played zerg these days.
Oh and yeah you can't miss going out with rekrul. You can't get drunk around him though, I heard he had herpes
I am not applying because I suck at BW. This response will almost certianly get me banned.
-----Socially----- Do you drink? Only when I am sober enough to be conscious.
If you answered yes to the previous question, what is your favorite brand of alcohol?
Brand... please, you rich poker players need to get back to your goddamn roots! I bet if you answered this rekrul, your answer would be an appletini... what a bitch you've become. My favorite brand is whatever Malt-liquor 40 is cheapest at the time I get drunk. Don't try to pass of a goddamn Coors light 40 ounce as a "40," it isn't.
If you drink, how well do you handle your alcohol? Biosterously. But if you are asking about my ability to hang on to my drink I will tell you this: I get pissed if I spill alcohol that I don't specifically dedicate to "the fallen homies." And it is my mission in life to destroy anyone that leaves "wounded soldiers" behind.
How many girlfriends have you had in your life? 4... I'm a little too over the top to be entirely plausible as a boyfriend. I am entirely plausible as a random hookup though.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your charm? Probably only a 7, my good looks would probably qualify me for a 9, but my drunken dancing probably destroys my charm for all but the drunkest girls.

C. is the answer you are looking for, but you shouldn't be. Anyone who has failed utterly, but won't admit it until sucess, has suceeded with a woman that looks like she was beat with a socket wrench.
You're in a bar with Rekrul. You are talking to a cute Korean girl. Rekrul leans over and says "Hey, I like yours better." What do you do? A. Punch him B. Bend over and take it up the tail-pipe C. Find a new girl
D. Laugh and tell him that as you get on the plane next week you'll give him her number and let him know if she'll take it in the 2 hole. E. Take a look at the one he's talking to.
id apply but im not good. Whos pocket is this coming out of? rekrul's i assume, i doubt smuft is a good poker player. seeing as how i never see or hear of him on LP. So yea thats really cool if this is real, if its not. its kinda dickish~attentionseeking~gay imho.

because of course, all good poker players post like crazy on lp!
-_-
im pretty sure smuft does good enough for himself, especially if hes sponsoring something like this
Question... When's the tournament? Because my birthday is right around the corner and that's when I turns 19 (Don't know why it's 19, if in the USA your considered an adult at 18?). And do you have to be 19 to participate in the tournament or 19 to recieve the prize, and travel, because I am 18 and have a passport and all my papers ect....

edit- and change your sig.
I love you.
Honestly. All the crappy 15 y.o. "lashing out at the world because they're hormonally imbalanced" people are being banned consistently. I love it. Even though sometimes tl discussion go off topic, follow similar trends or, most of the time, make no sense, they're (almost) always entertaining. Just as entertaining as the people that post.
GJ Mods.
However, to keep on topic: I can't go coz I suck. But, let me say, hats off to Dan and Smuft. This is so generous of you. I hope that if, or maybe when, I run into some real cash I can extend the same generosity to others as well.

No one is going because it's all a joke in very poor taste, the whole post is just an excersise in Rekrul flexing his authority. The only proven reputation Smuft has is a drug smuggler and someone who stole money from a private tournament he ran. And now he's having another "fabulous tournament" and Rekrul has put a gag order on discussing the potential problems with it?
I'll believe it when I see it. Rekrul and Smuft know the community well enough to have made this an invite-only tournament to the best 16 players in the world who were actually interested in going to Korea. So obviously there's something else going on here and every single person who hasn't had the balls to call him on this should be ashamed of themselves.
