And the zerg messiah came unto us and a new race was born.

There is now Terran, Protoss, Zerg, and Fruitdealer. There is no way someone just playing zerg can do the things he does. The man is less of a player and more of an artist that uses zerg as his paint.

He deserves every little bit of his prize pool, and really a whole lot more. HopeTorture is an amazing amazing player, but Fruitdealer made him look like a 1400 Terran.

Nowhere close to 20k-30k BW in korea

I went to the Korean Air OSL finals. There was definitely not 20k people. Probably the same attendance for both games at this point. (given the venue sizes anyways)

screw you guys for calling cool's mom a golddigger. it's really possible that she is just going to keep the money for him until he gets married (I think it's pure good old loving statement without any greed inparted)

My father's like this, I give him half of my earnings at work and it pays a lot since he keeps some in the bank for me to use in the future.

Stop judging people please. Btw, wanted the zerg to win this one since they're all whining at shit. At least you got something to be proud now

UNDERDAWGZZZZZ ^_^
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

That's pretty cool that Won Ki's parents decide to show up to support him

....on the biggest day of his career. Would've been much more touching had they kept supporting him throughout his career. Then again, those fruits won't sell themselves you know.

He did say that he hadn't even told his parents about the GSL before his semi-final round.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

You know a reason why his parents never showed up to his games before, might be because he hasn't ever gotten to a semi-finals or finals of any BW leagues before? This is the first time that Cool's in an event that is ALL about him, and with a ton of money on the line. It's totally unfair to criticize his mom for that.

Q: How much of your skill do you think you were able to show?
A: I think I was able to show all of it. I was a bit nervous in the first game, but I was able to focus knowing my opponent would be nervous as well. I think I played 130% today.

No kidding.

I've read the entire thread and didn't notice anyone saying this so I'll point it out:

The reason why Cool's parents did not come beforehand was simply because Cool did not tell him he was playing. I'm pretty sure he states it in the Ro4 interview how he did not want to dissapoint them so he only called them up to tell them after he was already in line to win $26000.

So no, Cool's family is cool.

after not checking tl.net for a few days im really surprised to read that, but i like his play style and really think he deserves that even without having watched his games (ill definitely will change that asap)

congratulations!

It's actually tradition to give the entirety of your first paycheck to your parents out of respect. So Cool keeping any of it is NOT the norm in Korea.

And yes, the "caring and love" effect in Korea is definitely aimed backwards where the son/daughter honors his mother/father rather than in America where its mostly forwards.

Anyone ever think that Cool's mom is a busy woman, and she probably doesn't have time to come out to EVERY SINGLE ONE of his games? Maybe the fact that it was a finals game with so much money on the line took priority over her busy schedule? Can't really fault her for thinking like that. This is a great underdog story and you guys are turning it into some American deceit story.

Sometimes stories really are as good as they sound.
All that glitters is not gold, all that wander are not lost, the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by frost.
