Ive been wondering for awhile now and after many google searches failed i decided to come here for answers. What are the weird pictures at the bottom of the screen at the end of korean and/or GSL games? One is a red -18 another is a man with arrows pointing at him and the last is a syringe.

I always wonder why that is shown on an ingame dialog... for which you already must have played (or started to play) a game...

And also that under 18's have competed in the GSL. But it's nice to know what that crazy shit is about (I'd thought as much).

Its the icon of the needle and such above the Score Screen button when a game ends. I believe its on the front of the login screen when you try to connect to the Korean servers also. I also have no idea what it is

It has to do with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Rating_Board

These are the icons:

They use a english client, so you don't see it.
But with a korean client you see them!

its really messed up the whole stim thing.. if they just changed the icon a bit and just say its the spacesuit or something that goes into supersayin mode it would be fine

I don't know why but this sounds so funny. Of course it's really sad for
the koreans who isn't over 18.

that wouldnt be the same, it would kill the mood as much as in another RTS where infantry suddenly were cyborgs instead of humans and left black puddles when they died...

im curious what the last symbol stands for...?
One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch...and kablooie!

I know no Korean but I would assume it would be Gambling/Gambling themes.

there are lots of progamers who aren't even 18 yrs old. Leenock for example

so I don't think it matters that much

Its probably similar to how in canada M rated games cannot be purchased by kids under 17 and that the establishment pays a fine (re: not criminal) but the youth who purchases a game isn't liable to any punishment. Similarly, in South Korea I am sure the sales of games rated 18+ is against some law but not the ownership or play of it. (I don't actually know but this would make sense since leenock can play the game and not be arrested for it and is allowed to play in the GSL)

I believe I have read there is a censored 13+ version of SC2 available in Korea. I'm not sure what they did to censor it, if it indeed does exist. Just FYI all those thinking there shouldn't be anyone under 18 in Korea buying the game.

At that level I don't really think they're playing the game to see little men shooting each other anyway.
