There were sarcastic pics and remarks how members, especially free, had demotivational-esque posts subtitled "I want to eat meat T_T" (고깃국을 먹고 싶어요 ㅠ.ㅠ), etc. Later, when Woongjin became the sponsor, people called Free, "Free powered by meat" (고기먹은 윤용태). There was a quote I read somewhere about the coach or manager saying "I will give the best possible treatment (salary) to free, equal to the top-payed players." As far as I know, Free had a salary of $6000 per year under hanbit. I never surfed the Korean community boards often, so I can't vouch for this 100%, but I'm fairly certain by picking up bits and pieces. Just remembering (and I always wanted to share this) since "meat" came up with Stars. That slogan for Free is hilarious. I know that their situation has definitely improved and it seems like the meat issue is very close to all their hearts. I'm so tempted to get messages from Guemchi, Piano, MVP and Ganzi next time asking the same question to see if Woongjin is a universally united front on the whole 'meat' issue. Oh and 'Love Fool.' is a song you can sing at most noraebangs here - I like it and sing it myself often (I have this wonderful mental image of GGplay at the noraebang busting out his own version now.... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.) | ||

hahaha These are so great. At least they dont ALL say 'I will train hard to produce better results'. Its weird that a lot of them dont realize foreigners are tuning in. Is there some kind of mentality that it isnt evident there is an e-sports following around the world? Maybe they're just being modest. | ||

I mean it takes like 2 minutes to write up these 1-2 sentences saying "Support me and my team" ect basically in each. Though its also hard to write a good letter with only 2 short and easy questions to awnser. ohwell Thx for the letters its nice to hear that they even acknowledge their fans over here. Seriously, what more do you want?? There is only a limited amount of time between the end of the event/the end of interviews and the beginning of the fan meeting. It is incredibly kind of the team to let me do this and I gave them specific questions this time so we could avoid the 'please support me type message.' As you can see from all the other responses to this thread no one else believes they're the same as the older messages where no specific questions were provided. There is NO TIME for a massive, essay style interview. Not to mention the fact that most of the coaches/managers and players do not speak English and my Korean is far from fluent. Don't come into the thread making it sound as though it's not a worthwhile project and saying 'oh well, thanks anyway.' You have no idea what the constraints on this project are and how hard I work to make the messages fun and interesting. They're not *meant* to be big, indepth scourings of the inner workings of the gamers, but rather fun, little postcards from them to us. + Show Spoiler + ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH. | ||

Yeah *again* - I'm exhausted all the time recently and I can't figure out what it is seen as I've been getting *more* sleep and eating more healthily. Maybe I should go back to 4 hours a night and hamburgers all the time! Hahaha. | ||
