Eat a live octopus: I vowed to do this if I ever went to S.Korea.

Don't try any cheese/Proxy if you haven't practiced it. Man... It was just a casual tourney, but I lost the first round cause I was gonna hide a pylon in the smoke in Metalopolis (my 2nd pylon, derp derp) then he found it and killed it just before warpgates finished. Then I checked mine, but forgot to attack move my zealot into the smoke before I rallied him away and he spotted the probe but didn't kill it. He did exactly what I intended to do to him. I was so angry and frusterated.

Also, once you have an advantage don't squander it, in the loser brackets (Only 4 diamond players rofl) I had this guy. I had the game. I 4 warpgated his ramp and was sniping depots and a techlab and I had minimal losses, I saw him going for a fast banshee and dropped a forge and a cannon at my main and expo. Then I decided to go for a fast win with a couple of voidrays but he broke through the rocks with a death army of siegetanks/marauders. I was so angry at myself for losing. But enough venting.

Don't be nervous.
Enjoy your time in Korea.
Eat an Octopus.


Live octopus!! I second this, you should totally do it. Just don't suck and get the octopus stuck in your throat and die a horrible embarassing death by suffocation though haha.

GL in Korea. Only one advice to you during the prelim is scout early and thorough. I picked this up by watching the GSL chinese stream. They said that Loner was directed by his coach to scout early and hard thru out the whole qualifier rounds.
Jinro didnt make it into R064 because of some cheesing and one base all in crazy stuff from the Korean, just so you know.

if you think you are good enough to make it into GSL3 RO64, then SCOUT SCOUT SCOUT and don't let bullshit beat you

Its the final open so you may be a little too late

Well, if you're confident, don't rely on cheese and get ready to be cheesed on, as I heard it, in the qualifiers there's supposed to be a lot of cheesing going on, especially of normal people against pro's (as most think its their only choice of winning).

I am a very volatile player I refuse to deny nor confirm purely standard play

Dude don't wish me luck why don't you just fly to Korea to break my opponents hands? At least that way its just good as opposed to luck.

I was low when I came to this same realization too. Starcraft is a delicate delicate dance, and just because you take the lead you're lover may be leading you off a cliff. And just because you become the Beta, does not mean you cannot consume the Alpha.

I guess another suggestion would be to buy a korean acct to get a better feel for their play style. Just a thought, since I always here how drastic their playstyle is.

GL and represent the outsiders well!

Heres the dance I have saved up.

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=56791891089&ref=mf

If you can't play it I will upload to youtube.

Try embedding into a page? Erm, :\

Code here:

<object width="576" height="384" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/56791891089" /><embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/56791891089" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="576" height="384"></embed></object>

edit: I will obviously redo this if I win a game, I will shake their hand but not before a giant ceremony of feet and hands followed by more feet and hands

I live in Korea, and I've eaten live octopus.

Do not recommend it lol. Also eaten silkworms. I'd rather eat octopus again =/

Also Carefoot, if you have any questions about Korea I might be able to help. PM me if you want any info

Otherwise I hope you represent for the round-eyes!
