EPTBut this whole thing feels like an interview with Lindsay Lohan. I don't know how much trust I put in his account of things, especially with all the deflection going on.

I really do feel like if its possible he needs to stay away from the public eye / gaming for a bit and try to find some help to deal with what seems to be an overwhelming amount of issues. That's not to bash him but its just the truth. I hope someone can help him out to try to get the help he needs since it sounds to be more then just a financial issue pertaining to his well being/ Of course seeking help costs money so I hope someone can help him out or point him in the right direction to seek it. | ||

This is from his point-of-view and only his so it is difficult to gauge how much is true. I've heard so many people tell bad experiences with LS that I have a hard time believing his account as truth. | ||

You need help dude.. Also I find it funny how people are saying "BUT LOOK AT HIS AGE!@#!@#". He made the active decision to go to korea, therefore he is responsible for his choices there. I also find it funny how he tries taking stabs at other foreigners who might not be the most successful but have achieved a heck lot more than he is. Time to get a real job I think. | ||

The guy thinks he's a progamer and he hasn't even gotten through Code A QUALIFIERS. It's funny how other "foreigners" who are actually able to make a living from the game play both foreign tournaments AND GSL, and by his standards apparently it isn't "worth it" - more like he knows he won't win and can't handle the embarrassment.

No foreigners really make a living off GSL and I can't recall any has went through Code A qualifiers. Most have all gotten a seed through oversea tournament There are some really interesting points to take out from his interview. That is especially regarding mechanics difference between foreign terran and korean terran. Everytime I watch some foreign TvT, it's quite a messy fight but korean terran are extremely nicely played out like a chess. I thought it's to do with decision making and lack of good in depth understanding of the gam.e | ||

I never stated they made a living from GSL I said those that garner enough money from this industry have PARTICIPATED in both types of tournaments, emphasizing foreign tournaments (something LS refuses to attend). What are you seriously talking about? Yes there is a skill gap between koreans and foreigners, the chess analogy is just an indication of how you have no idea what you are talking about and just jumping on the bandwagon of koreans > foreigners. There are some extremely good european terrans with on-par mechanics to koreans. | ||

"It's funny how other "foreigners" who are actually able to make a living from the game play both foreign tournaments AND GSL" How many foreign pro makes a living from both foreign tournaments and GSL then? Earning enough money from this industry doesn't make one a progamer, by your definition, is maximus black a progamer just because he attends foreign tournaments and stream and on a pro team? Lots of pros don't get high on tournaments, like Catz, are they more accomplished/more skilled than LS? Most of them wouldn't even be closed in getting high Korean GM facing top players. There really aren't a lot of foreign terrans on par with korean terrans but foreign zerg and protoss always appear (especially zerg) If you don't think it's caused by mechanics, then I don't know what to say. Korean terran are born differently? lol | ||

Maybe not a competitive gamer, but definitely still a professional one. | ||

But I agree sounds like he is in trouble, what is his backstory/family situation if he definately doesn't want to go to US? Why is living homeless in Korea a better option? I mean the dude is living some gritty lifestyle and for what? He isn't a ProGamer, yes he is amazing but literally just a ladder king. Done the code a qualifiers a few times if I'm not mistaken but that's it. I dunno I hope he can sort his situation; but guys like this give game addiction meaning, despite so many hardships he persists on without any real source of income aside from poker and streaming just to keep gaming? | ||
