토쟁이 쓰레기들은 공감 못하겠지... 프로게이머라는 직업에 붙은 프로라는 말... 대다수 어렸을적부터 반대를 무릎쓰고 꿈꿔왔던, 간절히 바랬기에 갖은 노력을 해서 얻어진 타이틀 프로게이머 우린 그것에 자부심을 가져서 정말 반복되고 지치고 힘든 생활을 버틴다 너네같이 꿈없고 물흘러가듯이 살다가 가십거리로, 우연히 불법토토로 알게된 우리들에게 욕할 자격이 없다 주어진 한경기를 위해 자나깨나 미친듯이 생각하고 동료들과 토론하고 준비하고 해야 얻어질수있는 값진 승리 너희같은 하류들은 평생 살아도 모르겠지 진선수들에게 조작거리는게 한심하고 가엾다 너넨 평생 모를테니까 가슴뛰는 그 승리의 성취감을 ㅎㅎ | ||

You've got a ton of posts, you may be in Korea, and you seem to have some insider info, so I'm very intrigued. | ||

Yeah it does, but in every case should be at least that much even with no bets under. Doing max bet (~800 euro usually) on new line doesnt move it too much, but can't remember how much it actually moves the line usually. | ||

It's a call out against the people who are saying he match-fixed. There's an implicit assumption that the people who are calling him out are the people who lost betting on him. "Gambler trash couldn't possibly know... What the "pro" in "progamer" means... Most of us had to go against disapproval from our parents since we were young, and we earned the title of Progamer because we wanted it that much and worked that hard for it. It's our pride in that title that lets us live through repetitive and hard lives. People like you who don't have any dreams and pass through life like water -- who come to know of us through illegal betting -- you don't have any right to gossip about or insult us. For a single game, waking and sleeping, we wrack our brains like crazy, planning and discussing with our teammates -- that's what you need to win a precious victory. Losers like you wouldn't know that for your entire lives. It's pathetic how you say players who lose are fixing matches. Because you guys will never know what it feels, that heart-pounding satisfaction when you win." | ||

Oh, wow, OK. So... we just learned that PL and individual league matches are regularly fixed? Just like that? This is now a thing? Is complete and utter dismay an appropriate reaction at this time? | ||

Hardship, yeah, he's had to work to get where he is and had some tough periods going through it. | ||
