I knew SeleCT was Korean, now that you say it I remember reading about him being Chinese in his blogs about CSL. Either way this is one guy Ithink the foreign scene has been sleeping on for a little while! | ||

I know some players have said that you need a long time in Korea to really learn, but I doubt it will be in vain with a shorter period. Also it could be to give Suppy a taste of what full-time progaming is like, since he won't be in school forever and will have to make a choice at some point whether to pursue progaming or something else. | ||

Yeah I think for someone of his nature it's more of a choice between "do i want to do the progaming now and put off my life, or jump right into a career". Hopefully for us it's the first; you can always go get a job once you are done with progaming. | ||

Sure, maybe they get the last laugh when they have good careers to transition into later in life but in the mean time they will be mediocre pro gamers. I'm fine with people wanting to transition in life I just want to see some more committed players. Maybe we need less commitment from Koreans? I'm sure I'm not most people, but I don't care about a league which features players who dropped out of high school to work for a professional gaming team dedicated to building brand recognition for a large corporation (basically Kespa style proleague teams). Similarly, I wouldn't care about a baseball league or baseball records where all of the players are taking steroids, and I don't care about the skill of athletes who graduate from East-Germany style athletic schools. I know that admiring the sacrifice of players in their passionate pursuit of progaming is a big thing on TL, but there are many things not worth sacrificing. Kudos to Suppy for trying to have it all. I hope that he does great things when he can go full time after he graduates from school. | ||

 Think he will improve (obviously longer WOULD be better)! Surely this is a good thing we can all support though | ||
