I think the leaked replay stuff has been a problem even for many korean players back in the days. Pretty low imo.

You want someone to take the time to type an hour of conversation so that you could read it instead of listening to it?
You monster.

Yeah... I find it hard to listen to Naniwa for some reason.

I really enjoy all of these Thorinterviews.

Though this last one was a bit tainted by Thorin trying to bond with Naniwa over being martyr-bros.
Find what you love and let it kill you.

i wonder how Guilliame Patry managed to break this barrier Koreans put up against foriegners?

any one know?

learned their language, isn't that always what you should do if you wanna be accepted in another country?


is that what Idra, HuK, Naniwa etc etc did? they learned how to speak korean and immersed themselves in the culture?

or did they continue to speak english, or whatever their 1st language is and try to survive without learning to have a conversation in Korean?

one thing many sports teams do .... is imitate the champion.

Koreans didn't work with foreigners not only because of the language barrier. But also because they felt that they should be helping out their korean brothers instead of a foreigner. It's something that Naniwa mentioned many times in this interview. This isn't something that is exclusive to progaming either.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

Idra never learnt a word of Korean? He was there for the longest time right? I'm impressed he didnt try to squeeze in some self-studying of daily Korean.

Scarlett seems to have been studying by herself and interested in the culture. I'm curious of how will that affect her stance there (though I doubt it will balance out other obvious things).
I will live in Korea no matter what.
