Is it true that Nerchio immediately went home as soon as he lost in the first round? Poor guy, he really needs to relax from time to time, his performance wasn't that horrible...

"Why I always win 10000$? I want get more money."

I get that these guys are fighting for a prize, but I lost a little respect for Taeja today. His ambivalence over 1st place, thinking retirement for now good reason, complaining about winning 10K for playing a videogame, the best videogame in existence mind you.... idk it just rubbed me the wrong way, I like a little more humility in my champs. Even when they are a Terran lol.

Jjakji isn't a has been or really tier 2 (anymore lewl) he was in the ro8 in the last code S. Nor is Symbol or Hyun. Had Symbol just suddenly decided not to shit his brains out of his ears in that last game, Taeja wouldn't even be holding the trophy.


Only player I saw that didn't have any major missteps was TaeJa. Then again I didn't watch the whole tournament and when I did my stream was stuttering constantly, so who knows. In my eyes he was the only player truly on and what do you know. Many people had him as their favorite.

I didn't see the interview for myself, but it almost sounds like you're jumping the gun. Oh yeah, it wasn't the interview so to speak. It was some silly text message you read on twitter. Cool beans. -_-

I don't find that any less impressive. Taeja is managing to stay top tier for a long time now.

rock-solid Liquid Terran


...

You weren't kidding on Twitter, you really put it in. Well it's the truth, congrats Taeja!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Nah nah, dude is upset cause the prize money has shot down. These dudes work hard, don't mistake the game as being this fun thing all the time and playing it all day every day is some form of paradise.

It's a job to them. Regardless of what anyone does, try and do it for 12 hours a day for 5 days straight while constantly trying to improve your skill and you'll quickly understand that it's not just some super fun thing to do for them.

Yeah - I can't fault him for the statement. I make more than that every 2 months as a mid-level engineer. If they're were engineering rankings in the world I'd probably be around 10,000,000th best in the world...
why?

It initially rubbed me the wrong way too but when I think about it, english isn't his first language so what he wrote might not accurately express what he wants to say.

I'd honestly argue that the "why always $10000" comment has the opposite effect of the "Faceless Korean" syndrome. That's Dennis Rodman level ballsy for a Korean. I approve.

Yeah I retract what I said earlier guys sorry--it's easy to forget how this is not a "game" to any of these professional players. I love SC2 as much as anyone buy playing 9 hours a day to compete must get tedious and frustrating at times.
