You need a Doctor of Medicine just to pay the bills? If you do what you love, and can live from it, then that's what its all about, basically what the speech was saying, but you obviously missed that.

How can you say he has barely any time left being a progamer?
Thats a ridiculous statement. He's just won nearly $87,000 US dollars, while not a profound amount of money it is indeed life changing and that's for sure.
Not to mention the fact that this isn't some bi-annual gig that he has to wait around for now. He is S-Class and auto qualified for future events after the GSL Season 3 and this is a prize he could win again or even multiple times.
He's 29, Starcraft 2 is so new he could EASILY be doing this for the next 6 years or more.
I wish people would quit with the age bullshit, there isn't a point in your life where you wake up and *POOF*; all the skills you have practiced to gain and develop for years of your life are magically gone and you are suddon a noob.
Stop being so close minded.

Someone needs to do a youtube video of the speech

Might want to put in the thread OP that there may be spoilers as to who won GSL2 in the thread and the speech.
Epic epic speech!

So your definition of wasted life is anyone who doesn't have their PHD, lol ok bro.

Indeed incredible speech, thanks junkka!

Great speech John 
hope you see the appreciation we all have for you.

The world needs more people like Junkka who do what they enjoy and not what is the "best" career choice or makes the most money. Your post is so negative and completely misses the point of what Junkka was trying to say.
Great speech by Junkka. Can't wait to catch a transcript or a video of it on youtube. He's one of my favorite people from the GSL just because he seems so nice and like a genuinely good guy. John translating!!!

That's just how the world rolls, "bro". Maybe he thinks he wasted his life when he is an unemployed 50yo, maybe it all worked out just fine. I don't know.

That MUST be on the VOD, because that was EPIC!

Actually you're the sad thing.
I'm not even gonna argue with you, you're definitely a lost cause.
PS. forgot to why I came to this thread in the first place, namely someone like John realising that there's no such thing as wasting your life as long as you're doing what you love  <3

PRETTY sure if i ever get to korea I'm looking john up and we're partying then egging his "friend's" house that was giving him shit. What a badass
|
Best part was when he mentioned the fan art and was like. HEY, DO YOU GET THIS FOR DOING YOUR JOB??!!
|
A very moving speech. Im glad he has a job in e-sports. He really is a hidden gem of Gom. He is getting better at translating and hes becoming a personality alongside tasteless and artosis.
|
That was such an inspirational speech. It just felt so sincere and must ring true for most gamers.
I hope they keep John on at Gom for a long Time. Homeboys living the Dream

So your saying the "world rolls" by having people who have a phd, and people who don't, meaning people who don't can't get by and can't pay the bills and have wasted their life. Stop for a second and think about how ridiculous you are.

You just replied to tell me you're not arguing with me about that? Talk about a comment with a lot of content.
