Hey hey, it is a little bit inappropriate for a Swede to claim that Korean food is unhealthy... On the other hand, the only thing I know of Swedish food comes from Ikea...

Also considering his series against Symbol was relatively close, a little bit of relief? | ||

I doubt these guys really love the game as much as they say they do. They like winning at the game, but I'm not sure they like the game itself. Its always relative to how hard you have to work for it. Do you even have the slightest idea how hard players like Taeja have to work to stay at the very top? Have you ever played ladder for 8 hours on one day? Show some respect ffs | ||

Taeja gives an interview where he talks earnestly about some of the problems/challenges he faces: "Wow, what a lame person, how can he possibly believe that X and Y are true." There's also "option c," of being a PartinG/MC style entertainer, but honestly the more of those players there are the less interesting they are as individuals. You can respect someone's honesty while disliking their answers. They're not mutually exclusive you know. My point isn't that people are hypocrites (especially because the people who think that interviews are too boring and who are criticizing Taeja aren't necessarily the same), it's that "Koreans need to show more personality if they want more fans" is a more problematic statement than a lot of people seem to realize. Fair enough, my mistake. I sorta glance through the pages and felt the overall reception to this was positive, but I guess you were more responding to the boring Korean comment. | ||

I have always liked Taeja, and i don't think everyone needs to have a loud personality. But i find it a little hard to understand that a 18 year old who is basically rich, and who has accomplished so much in a short time, isn't more grateful, or just happy. | ||

But to think that for progamers money is not one of the most important factors (if not the most) is naive. | ||
