That would be pretty cool to see Elky make a return to progaming with sc2, but I dont see it happening because he can make more money with poker.

I'm probably the only persson in here who first got to know about him as a poker player and then discovered that he used to be a kickass SC player.

BTW the person with the most winings in poker (Phil Ivey) has won about the double! Sick!

he made an awesome review of SC2.
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

Sorry to kill your specialness, but same for me. He's a complete tournament beast. Actually, a thread on 2+2 (poker forum to those who don't play) about Elky playing SC before poker was what turned me on to competitive SC.

Would be pretty cool to see Elky compete, but I don't think it's going to happen. Any reasonably big poker tournament makes the GSL payouts look like nothing.

becuase of elkys success in poker i have heard on multiple occasions the poker commentators say:
"he was a former startcraft pro". not in just regards to elky but other poker players as well. pretty cool

I heard about Elky from a friend too, while discussing Poker. It's nice to turn on the television to poker and sometimes see Elky, then scream in my head, "Hey! He plays Starcraft too!"
There is no one like you in the universe.

He probably plays in his free time, but I don't think he'll go pro, there's just much more money in professional poker than pro sc2

the cool thing about poker is how mobile it is... he is mostly an online player. he just needs to be in vegas for a few months for the world series then he can go back to korea for sc2. and it not like his poker game needs much more practice.

Elky is one of the most great players in my memory. He was at the Boxer era and if I remember correctly, he and boxer played an amazing game at WCG 2002 final.
