It's got all the drama that one would expect of ESPORTS, but at its heart is like a heartwarming underdog success story. Merry christmas, Violet. | ||

In addition to rounding up support within the industry, CSA had to put in hours of additional work. In letters to immigration officials, the agency had to provide an overview of Kim's four-year-long professional career, including translated Korean interviews and virtually every article ever written about him. The application added up to more than 500 pages in total. that's pretty crazy o_o.... in a good way. | ||

Thank you Andrew for helping him so much! You've got to admit that he is very exciting right now ^^ So will we just see him at WCS AM and other american tournaments or can he travel abroad to EU tournaments too? | ||

Players are just meat to MLG. If you don't attend their events they don't give a damn about you. Players are just a number to them and they'll forget about you once you walk out their event doors. | ||
