Since we're both from totally different cultures: May I ask why you just dont keep half of your earnings in the bank for later use? I personally dont see the benefit from giving it to your father for safekeeping. Or are you frightened to use it all up and dont have anything left over for later? Is it just a cultural thing or has it a deeper meaning which I dont see? On the mother topic: Ever thought the mother is calling the father / other family members? And why should she run on the stage to "hug" him? He's a grown man, even I would consider that awkward and strange. Even more so if you consider asian culture and "keeping face". About Fruitdealer: Glad he won. He's seems to be a cool guy (pun intended). Hope he will bless us with his play in future GSLs Edit: Thank you for the translations  | ||

Seoul is definitely NOT one of the most expensive cities in the world. heres a link to April 2009 cost of living rankings for cities: http://seoulwalk.com/2009/07/28/cost-of-living-international-rankings-for-1-april-2009/ Seoul is chillin at #163. New York is at #19 Oh and @ Ocedic, I don't like or agree with your philosophy. So a child of an abusive alcoholic father owes him just because he decided to get drunk one night and mess around with another drunk slut? The father gave him life right? Cool's parents didnt acknowledge his passion about pro gaming until there was an $85,000 prize on the line, so he's somehow obligated to give them some of that prize money for all the support he received? Also, all of those expenses you listed are obligatory by the parents. You never asked to be born and it sure as hell wasnt your fault that you werent born with the ability to hold down a 9 to 5 and provide for yourself. And the way you put it, its like having a kid is some very long term investment. You know, put deposit all those expenses like clothes, food, school, etc. along with a nice semen sample and egg, and after 30 years of appreciation he might pay you back! Messed up man.. | ||

So dont get surprised when people are responding very defensive in favours of Cool, when it comes to his distribution of his money. I hope and think his mother are a good person thinking the best of his interest. Loved what Cool said in the interview, spot on everything, he truly played 130% | ||

It's kind of a depressing way to live, but at this point I can't really bring myself to argue the point any more. | ||

His parents never supported his progaming dream.  Kinda harsh, but understandable. Cool never made it big till today. In comparison, IntoTheRainbow is a much bigger name. Up to this point, there has been no reason for the parents to support an empty dream and uncertain career.Heck, being a progamer isn't much of a career. | ||

I dunno what"s the big Deal , If he wants to give the money then let it be.You don"t necessarily know that just because his parents never came to the event they never supported him? | ||

Anyway, this championship was so well deserved. Cool had the un-matched skill and touching story coming into this gsl. His games have inspired me the same way Savior did in bw <3! | ||
