deok is basically pronounced duck


I'm almost 100% sure that it's supposed to be 떡, but it's romanized version is written as Tteok


Same as the word in tteokbokki? Yeah that is not at all the same as 'duck'

as touching as it is, a lot of the things can be said about other koreans so this article didnt convince me at all.

Great Job on that article!

Didn't see the season 2 finale so i always thought he really was just another faceless Korean.
Glad to be proven wrong.

Seeing Duckdeok's show of emotion after taking WCS EU was so real for me. There have been so few times I have felt such a strong connection to a player I hadn't put the effort into following closely. Even if he doesn't win Blizzcon I don't care, I just hope we get to enjoy him for a long time.

I really love duckdeok's story. He was the posterboy for everyone's "faceless Korean", but can anyone still say that after he won WCS EU S2?

I mean, yeah people can still complain about regionality and growing local scenes, but his example puts to rest that there is such a thing as a faceless player. And that is why I want him to do well.

To be honest, I don't really care that he's faceless. There's just as much faceless foreigners as there are faceless Koreans. What makes Duckdeok so impressive is that he went from zero to hero. Starting in challenger league and endiing up winning the tournament against everyone's expectations is quite an achievement. I don't care that he probably won't be able to replicate that feat, but he's done something noone else in WCS has done so far.

During the award ceremony you could see that he enjoyed being there in Cologne. You could see that he enjoyed playing Starcraft 2, that he didn't just do it to rake in some cash. If I recall correctly he even paid for his plane ticket himself.
