I'm kind of good at this game, playing in a hobby team in cologne, germany  I'll try to hang around on sunday at HSC, so if anyone is willing to challenge me, I'd bet a beer on myself winning! (also, I play chess) | ||

I feel sorry. A bit. You could sum up my skills by the following: sc2 (diamond), chess (~1700 dwz), foosball (amateur), programming | ||

(also, I play chess) To be fair, that fussball table wasn't regular. Professional ones have oblique floor on the corners and sides, so that the ball doesn't get easily stuck like In JD's corner. Spinning and do cheap shots like passing the ball between two of the attacking pieces to do easy two-time autowin shots should be forbidden! Other alternative home rules also state that if the goalkeeper scores, it counts twice... and if you lose 8-0 you must crawl under the table. | ||

Well relative to tournaments that just spin the same ad 20 times in a row, and then show footage of the stage I would say this is more effective. Take and this guy also have a history with the community around the game, so it is also enjoying a pretty real dialog with their target market. | ||

But I guess koreans are not used to foosball, so it would've been really hard to explain them how it works, given the fact that some of them are not fluent in english. Felt a bit lame tho :O | ||
