Nice summary. And the bolded is really the crux of the whole discussion. And I obviously agree with you. Some people seem to believe that you simply represent the country you're living in, which is just absolutely unacceptable and not done like this in any sport, e- or otherwise. | ||

She's doing an amazing job and sometimes you have to make your point a bit more clear so everyone understands.. what the fuck is wrong with you calling her a bitch because of that-_-; retard seriously. I don't think you get the point he is trying to make. Maybe he shouldn't called her a bitch. But that is how most people will see her from an outsiders perspective. Production leaders are most of the time screaming at people so everything will be awesome for the viewers. And that is what he is trying to say. If you also read his entire post instead of only focussing on the word "Bitch" you would see he is saying that she is doing an amazing job. Also, when calling other people a retard, you should make sure you are reading his post right. Because now you look really dumb. | ||

Whether he identifies himself as from is irrelevant to this because he trains and plays in NA, so he represents the NA scene. He's Korean, and has benefited as a progamer from living there and practising for years in rts-games vs other koreans. So the source of his fast hands could very well be said to be his korean background. He was a progamer before he moved to the US. (Played for Sk.korea in wc3) Imo it's nonsense starting to call Huk Korean, Select American etc. Your nationality is your nationality no matter where you practise. Lionel Messi isn't spanish because he plays for Barcelona. | ||

Whats wrong with you? seriously ... this is more annoying then balance whines because somehow every LR thread turns into those discussions .... there should be some rules against that asap ... yeah thats right. what counts is, that the players know for which country they want to play and they´re fighting for. let themselves decide what they are and for what their heart is beating.. we all got nothing to decide here.. | ||

Remember, there's no such thing as bad publicity. oh wait yes there is NASL possibly lost a lot of subscribers with this first day. Good thing people on the internet have a bad short term memory and will forget this shit quickly when day 2 and 3 deliver. Pressure's on NASL! | ||

Good thing people on the internet have a bad short term memory and will forget this shit quickly when day 2 and 3 deliver. Pressure's on NASL! No not really. To me it seems they still can't hold an event. I waited the first season to hope it would be better. But it did not. Even if the 2 day after this are awesome, they still did not prove to be considered one of the major e-sport events like MLG, IEM or DreamHack. | ||

I don't really care, but the people calling him a Korean now were calling him a foreigner during MLG Columbus when he went 0-5 in BO3 series in the group play. They said Koreans were "dominating" and quoting 20-3 or something, conveniently ignoring Select and Moonan. If you include the records of the latter two the Koreans' records weren't nearly as flattering. | ||

People want to be right all the time, so they change some facts to make it happen... When it favors them that Select is a Korean he is a Korean, when it favors them he isn't a Korean he isn't a Korean. You are the nationality what is written in your passport. Nothing difficult about that. | ||

If a Korean woman and a Korean man make a Korean baby in Ireland, and that Korean baby lives his life in Ireland, he will always be Korean no matter what. Sure he will be an Ireland citizen, but he's Korean and always will be. | ||
