We're all really happy you make lots of money with poker. Spend some of that on professional guidance on how to relate to those that don't give a fuck about your money. PS: This comes off as really abrasive but I cannot stand people that make arguments like yours. Who are you to judge the value of this game to people? If they can "make money" while doing something they love why would you argue against that? Obviously there are better ways to make money.. but it doesn't involve SC so on a fucking SC forum they might discuss the melding of two awesome concepts. For all your money you still have a LOT of maturity to achieve dude. Still on the poker guy? Recommending a career choice and saying how its superior to what some1 else is doing is just idiotic I agree, but ignore the troll? On topic though, what makes people so certain Sc2 will be as awesome. I'm playing BETA and all I see is an above average RTS. Doesn't have the same "feel" as BW | ||

1. Foreign scene needs head start. As soon as the korean pros start playing sc2 for real foreigners will be forgotten. So they need their 15 minutes... 2. Someone said "its all about the Benjamins" and that is absolutely correct. Dont kid yourself, sc1 is serious business in korea. | ||

Some people do. Some people don't. That's the way people are. Assuming your way is the way people should feel is incredibly presumptuous. Some people like gaming and don't like poker. That's the way it is. | ||

Its very easy to do nowadays. so you come a little late, buddy, to save our sorry souls from eternal failure and as your posts lack any kind of fun factor usually found in rek's crazy life stories you're only a terrible bore with your self righteous and patronizing manner of spamming this thread. get lost :| | ||

SC2 also has a very slim chance of doing that, but hell, it's better than SC1's chances. that "slim chance" is actually rather large....w/mlg...LOL mlg lets hope that if they do try to get a slice of this cake they play by our rules without players signing their soulzzzzz | ||

Just saying. I don't care about the money. I want to play the darn game. See, I think why Korean gaming is so different from "Foreign" gaming is because of culture. To Koreans, everything is a waste of time unless it eventually leads to money. To places like the US...we just like video games because they're fun >.> Not saying that Koreans can't enjoy games; I'm sure they do enjoy games. They just have more pressure due to their culture to rake in cash through everything they do. | ||

If you have great passion for something and have the will to drive forward. Your ethnicity doesn't play a role... I honestly think talent can be replaced by passion and willpower. maybe thats what the talent is. but it seems to be after playing wc3 at a high lvl. thats what it came down to.. Koreans have the advantadge of practice partners(sc1) but with the game being fresh we all have the power to compete at an even level.. and i hope you guys dont lose sight of that. its also possible that western market could boom with sc2 like korea did with sc. Now with the economic crisis which replicated what south korea was going through when the SC boom took place. it just depends on western culture taking risks. | ||

The game has so many new opportunities and everyone is trying to exploit the best strategies. Why bother playing SC when SC2 is nearly here? I did try to play SC a week ago and it's like looking at an inferior game. Besides SC2 is so much fun to play! just no. i think the only thing fun about it is its novelty. i've played it and i still think sc1 is way more fun to play. | ||

Obviously when it comes out all the ESPORTS organizations like MLG are going to be trying to make a buck off of SC2, because there's no centralized governing body like KeSPA to say anything - so that's where the tournament cash will be. | ||
