.
I actually laughed when he said that practice was not very tight because they had to play "only" 10 hours a day and that they could choose their schedule. I guess that after Kespa's houses it must feel like holiday , but for our standards it's still a lot of playing ^^. I'm also happy to hear that sc2 is slowly taking off in Korea , I was a bit afraid at one point ,seeing some tournaments other than GSL is a good sign.

These message from Korea bits are turning out to be amazing. I'm also wondering about the LG tourney.

Or is it just the qualifier for the next GSL Torunament?

Wow, even among Korean standards, that is a pretty huge prize pool for a "secondary" (non-GSL) event. 10 million won is 9k, and a 55 inch 3D TV is worth at least a thousand dollars. If more of these events pop up, I really think more foreigners would probably want to go to Korea, since the only thing holding them back is the lack of secondary tournaments to the GSL.

That was a realy great interview. I havent seen much of Yonghwa, just a few ladder games. But when you read this interview you can tell that hes an exceptional player. Looking forward to see more of him.
I'll be cheering for him unless his playing a foreigner =P
