Guess it depends from brand to brand.


Yeah, I guess Jinro is a little cheaper... as it were.

Yeah, for obvious reasons its been my brand of choice Tho I think Ive only tried like 2 different ones, and I did prefer it over the other one.

$40night * 30 nights = 1200

renting a place in SEOUL = roughly $3,000 smacks. i've lived in korea for a year and i am going back for many more years. my korean wife who lived in seoul for 30+ years has never heard of any hostels. i'm not trying to be argumentative, i'm just genuinely curious about these hostels if they really exist.

and yes, soju is dirt cheap, but that's why you drink loads of it. :p i can go broke on soju, even after winning #1 in GSL hahaha.


we have cheap family owned motel-like 1 night places. It's bed and breakfast but at someone's private homes. They only exist in the country where farmers open their homes to tourists for extra income.
PM me if you want random korean images translated.

Enough with the stupid morrow/murrow jokes please.

On-topic: I can't understand how they are called "PRO" gamers when in reality they don't have the time nor the money to participate in the biggest sc2 tournament. Can someone explain to me what is up? In my opinion if you are a professionnal sc2 player, or if you want to become one, gsl is pretty much a mandatory step.



Or you can understand what the term actually means and just say that it's someone who makes money playing starcraft.

That's a shame. I was sort of hoping you had some top secret plan to go to Korea, I would LOVE to see you in the GSL. Oh well there is always season 3

Liquid should rent out some rooms and stuff so foreigners can come to test their skills in the GSL. They'd still charge for the room, food, etc but it'd be great for other foreigners to have a place to stay and English-speaking SC2 players to talk to.

Or someone who makes a living, i.e. does not depend on doing anything other than playing SC.

the only way i can think of having a good set of foreigners going to GSL would be for people to band together to keep living costs down...pro teams fighting!

You can continue winning 100$ tournaments, OR you can try your luck at the gsl.

Those are amateurs. As TheBB said, all Pro Gamers do is play the game. That's how they make their living. :/

In many cases (as in Korea) they have no time for school and not much else.

Look at the bright side, if you lose your qualify round, you don't have to spend all 3000$ because you only stay in S . Korea for 2 days to 1 week XD not 1month hehe.

Dimaga said in an interview after IEM that he has no plan or motivation go to Korea, while Huk was lamenting about his decisions to go to MLG instead of the GSL after seeing how many foreigners made it to the Ro64.

It's cool to see any foreigner go to Korea, it's a big deal whoever it is, though of course we want to see top players make the trip.

Don't understand how ANY foreigner on a gaming team wouldn't go to the biggest competition for their sport?? Makes me confused how players like HuK and MoRRoW wont be going.. isn't this what they've been training for? playing sc2 hours a day for? like wtf is the point if you're not gonna compete? Money concerns shouldn't be an issue between sponsors or even just working like 2-3 months to scrounge the money up yourself...

GSL Season 2 is directly in the middle of IEM US finals in NYC, the start of the IEM European Championship qualifiers, MLG DC, MLG Dallas, BlizzCon, and most likely one other event among dozens of smaller events. To me, all of those tournaments, especially to the American players, are more worthwhile then one season of Gom. After they all end in mid-November, season 3 sounds like a better option.

I am pretty sure Blizzcon and GSL won't conflict with each other.
