Yea... if you watched the Nal_ra series, you would notice a marked difference in attitude between the two. The storm zerg is great and all, but he really is done and should be left alone rather than constantly pestered to continue his career. I mean that in terms of motivation, he was motivated sure, but not the same kind of crazed motivation you would see from a kid who ran away from his parents to give it his all in professional SC2... | ||

He has years of experience that would be really valuable! He could teach MKP how to keep fighting for second place! | ||

The genre in general is very very popular in Asia because it's the best kind of game to play in LAN settings and can accomodate a lot of people ( PC cafe/bangs where you go all the time with your friends after school or something) | ||

The GOM show was probably just a fun thing to do after his retirement and he probably got some well needed money, since he was essentially out of a job at that point. I disagree with you this one as for what that Project A was for? Even though it is just a show, I think he wanted to participate in Code A that month and compete with other Code A pro-gamers at that time. Since he didn't qualify I think he just lost interest and thought it to himself that he will just focus on other things. | ||

Hmm, I do wonder, if Yellow actually tried to practice for Code A like the Project A showed, or it was all sort of "made up" and it was mostly just a show. Anyone have any evidence that it was or wasn't legit/real? | ||

I also recall BoxeR stating when needed, yellOw would move on to form some sort of rival team? (Sorry if this is actually beforehand and im just behind in news) Boxer was saying (or someone else about the situation) that it would be more fitting for yellow to be on a rival or different team, I do not remember Boxer himself saying that in an interview anywhere. | ||

He is godamn RICH lol xD Wow. I wonder how he would do if he came back when SC2 was coming out and trained in Korea (if he got supernova or whatever in 2 weeks, maybe he's just really really smart or something lol) now that esports has grown and [should] be more foreign-friendly (?) Anyways if people are making this much, it means that a lot of people are wasting a shit ton too, right? xD Or do sites such as these give out starting money, which they can make up with ads? | ||

If you want to play in most of the poker tournaments you must pay an entry fee, that's where the most of the money come from. | ||

Ok but what about the online ones? Also... damn I wonder if there are more people who watch starcraft than poker. If so, cheers for the future of eSports, where tournies like the GSL might give out $1 million per month/tourny xD (I know DotA 2 gave out $1 million for a BETA tourny though... but that's an outlier, I guess). | ||
