The other 3 being Bomber, IMMvP and SlayerS`Ryung. I can't think of anyone else quite at their level. Perhaps SlayerS`boxer, but his results are inexpilcable in that case. | ||

Sure, if I could make a living on gaming I'd do it, but unfortunately it doesn't really pay in NA (unless your name is Idra or... oh wait, that's probably it). Having school/full time job/whatever is pretty damn important. In Korea, if you're damn good, practice 12 hours a day and you'll make progress, get picked up by a team... sure, might not be the most comfortable lifestyle, but it's something. In NA, how are you supposed to make any money? Note: I'm only a Masters player, so obviously not in a position to become a pro-gamer anytime soon :p NA has a lot more money (or at least a lot better prize distribution) than Korea, and the competition is a lot easier. On what planet is it more difficult to live as a progamer in NA than Korea, at least when it comes to making money? Sure you can get in a pro team house and live pretty much for free in Korea, but if you're not a Code S regular and you don't have a decent salary from you team (and most don't), it's not worth it in the long run. You're essentially only getting older and eventually, several years down the line, when you're no longer able to stay in the team house and live for free, you realize you're fucked because you don't have a job, education and didn't actually make any money to be able to sustain yourself in the future. It's not a walk in the park regardless of where you are. Progaming isn't a profession that caters to the mediocre - you either need to be on top or on your way to the top. This is why it's sad that out of the players currently in EU/NA pretty much only Naniwa shows signs of ambition and commitment, while a lot of other players (especially NA players) spend their time streaming, coaching, commentating, doing podcasts and competing in low skill online tournaments. | ||

The reason Koreans did better than foreigners is because they work harder, doing what they love with professionalism, putting in long hours with perseverance and passion. It's true man, they treat this game PROFESSIONALLY!! They have the passion and love the game but it's a JOB! It's hard to adapt this mentality in the US/Europe because most people on the outside can't view being a SC pro as a real job. So the players here don't treat their training as strict, they don't think of the game as a grind. They don't work as hard on their mechanical skills. I also think the environment of MLG is detrimental to NA/EU players, too much social stuff on their own time. The Koreans came to MLG focused on just wining and that's what they did. Same with Naniwa when he won, he came there as a low key guy who only focused on his games and maybe talked a little to his teammates. NA players you need "eye of the tiger"! | ||

I look forward to seeing you again along with all our Korean guests. Josh Working with you, Alyssa, Lee, and all the other MLG staff was such an amazing experience. It was a pleasure working with all of you  | ||
