Awesome news. Congrats to Violet. Now lets see if we can get Jaedong out of military service, please-o-please-o-please.
Everything in life is most clearly explained through a Starcraft analogy.

Lmao viOLet said: "I’m so super exciting about that..."

That's so viOLet, always saying "I'm exciting". Damn I love him.

Thank you Andrew for helping him so much!

damn i forgot about violet. i thought this was kt violet. glad he got his visa and will return. i wonder how far he will go now that more koreans play foreign tournaments.

anyone got any idea what they used to prove violet was internationally recognized without the use of videos? also what kind of visas do the koreans on foreign teams have like jaedong? they don't seem to have visa problems or do they stay in korea and only go abroad when there's a tournament?

thanks
hey man just curious
