Then he bragged about doing this in the interview. That's just Parting. | ||

Sure they raised them and what not, but... is this the same in the west? Better than blowing it all like most young 20 year olds do no? Its not like Mom is going to rush out and buy a benz for herself. It'll probably be saved towards buying a house for when Parting marries or upgrading their own home. Its a stereotype but most middle-class Koreans will convert a stack of cash to property. | ||

I agree with monsterDrakar. Still a little unclear to me why he "broke down psychologically", but whatever, maybe he just has a lot of pride. "Having seen my timings and strategies in those replays, Suppy blindly built around 15 Spine Crawlers and Zerglings even before I had moved out to attack." Read it again. He says Suppy won because of the replays he saw. Maybe Suppy didn't need to watch those to learn his timings, but Parting still thinks that is the reason his push failed. It's pretty clear. | ||

Considering most Asian parents spend their whole life to be able to give their children the best education, lifestyle, food that is possible I don't see what is wrong with this. I find it more wrong how some western people are sometimes borderline ungrateful to their parents. | ||

There are differences between being cocky and saying things in jest, keep in mind that a lot of can be lost with the interview being passed to written form and a translation. Parting is always practicing, smiling and greeting his opponentes after a loss, for me those are signs of a humble man having fun. His interviews are always cocky on a funny side, typical parting. | ||

A good example of hard to figure out in interviews is Parting during the OSL nomination ceremony. If you read the transcript, you'd think he was an arrogant jerk. If you watched it, everyone was very much enjoying his jests | ||

I do have to say I was rooting for a Zerg for the first time I can recall (country before race lmao) and I was crazy-excited after the first two games. Edit- By the way, anyone else get tired of seeing PvZs?? I don't include PvP and ZvZ because I couldn't even bring myself to watch more than a few of these. | ||

Sure they raised them and what not, but... is this the same in the west? It's Confucianism & filial piety. Basically, think of yourself as an investment that your parents made. You need to pay them back somehow for draining a ton of their assets over several years; often this is done through monetary support (esp. when they are older) and by being a good, loyal child. (This doesn't only just apply to Korea btw, but most of Asia). There are both positive and negative things about this way of thought, and you often run into that conflict between collective and individual desires. | ||

So maybe he should reflect upon his own philosophy instead of cutting sleep. *sigh* Ahh kids these days ... Wtf?! "Xenophobia against ZeNEX"? People call StarTale KongTale -> Life wins -> People still call the team KongTale as Life just recently joined ST -> Now Parting wins and there is no reason anymore to speak of a ST curse. Where exactly is Partings xenophobia (assuming that word would be applicable in this situation)? "Xenophobia against foreigners", because he says that Koreans practice more than foreigners? Seriously? | ||

Thanks - I was under the impression the south korean savings rate was much higher than it was so that botched my thinking, this seems like a solid explanation. Anyway, loved the Parting interview, what a boss. I can understand watching replays in practice time but mid tournament... come on Suppy take it like a man, you were going to lose either way haha. | ||
