In other words, "i don't have the mechanics, but this game won't require them and i'm smart enough to do well". I bet Savior also can't wait for SC2.
It's a strategy game. Strategy SHOULD trump mechanics. In sc it doesn't. Thats a flaw. Mechanics should be important, and no where did he say they wont be a relevant factor, simply that when a new game comes out everything is up in the air, and intelligent strategy will trump mechanical precision. Over time mechanics, just like in sc1, will increase in importance. Hopefully not to the point of sc1 where mechanics is the end all be all of the game, but nevertheless.

what does he mean by this? all the young players were good, boxer, him yellow...they were all young..and good. Were there actually like 30 year olds who pwned it up?



I think he means the players who are old now did better than the players who are young now.

Not that it's a fair comparison; they were 18 and the new kids were like 9....

lol


I'm pretty sure it was a loose/bad translation having something to do with the fact that the game [bw] has evolved so much now that all the new players don't need the strategic mind and adaption skills that the original pros had, because everyone has already figured out everything safe to do perfectly. The game is all just macro war now. Since sc2 is a new game, these types of players that dominate bw now won't have a chance with their copy cat builds because there is nothing to copy.
But like Steve suggested in his video interview, this will be short lived (a year at most imo) before they can start copying and take over again.

???? why all of a sudden?

fighting... but you went to the army yet?

flames are bad for esports.

3rd

Boxer is his hyung?

dont delete this. Kang Do kyung, Kim dong su(garimto) are gamer nerd (jerk?) kings. I cant believe gamer nerd (this word is kinda a slag.. meaning jerk nerd outcast etc) gets this much love. Gogo is much better than these fools.

The reason he retired was for the army .... ;;

He has no perserverance. If your just gona retire like that again, dont make a comeback. Learn from tossgirl;;; no passion ;;;;

wtf you talkin about... its been a while since he was commentating then went to army and came out to make the comeback as a player then retire again.

Why you talkin shit about garimto. His badass. Also wow, he transformed into a handsom guy. before he was... .

Garimto has his sights too high. At least boxer has spirit. If you look at players who quit after they do well for a bit, they want too much, but their skill doesnt match up to it and they just give up. Boxer yellow and nada at least has the tenacity to keep going.

comeback retire and then comeback again;; In between he said many things. Hard to believe this type.

last time he cameback then retired right away so meh...

I dont think his right... players these days are much better than before. Even boxer said his current lvl is much higher than before... Even in sc2 sc1 skills will transfer over. Also, theres no garantee that sc2 will be popular. Anyways like ppl above said garimto lacks spirit, dedication, drive.

garimto you talked mad shit about sc2 and now you want to be progamer again - -;;

he said on his gamer homepage that his drive for esports was gone and he talked shit about esports. Now he wants to come back to esports lol. well i like old gamers so im happy but i hope he becomes a more believable person.

garimto retires 3 times comes back 3 times.

i dont need. gtfo

Most korean netizens are very angry because Garimto somewhat flamed the whole ESPORTS/pro-gamer scene while he was retired. He was specially bitter concerning the fact pro-gamers have to pratice a lot and "play the whole day" (his words). Fans don't forget this kind of thing easily.

I wonder if he genuinely likes SC2 or if he just think it's a good opportunity to make a comeback, since players will be on even grounds from the start.

Who cares if he comes back and retires so often? I guess it's an Eastern thing. Hell, look at Brett Favre, or Roger Clemens, Michael Jordan etc. Also, while SC2 'may' not and I mean may as in 1% or less (So far all the reports back from S.Korea point to SC2 being immensely popular, but I guess you would have a better perspective being from there) be popular, it sure as hell will be IMMENSELY popular outside of S.Korea. So, if he wants to become a pro again I don't see why he couldn't leave S.Korea you guys don't hold a monopoly on E-Sports.

It is kind of hilarious to talk shit (I don't actually know what he said, perhaps you can post what he said for us please) and then run back to what you just talked shit about...

Lastly, so if I hear it right in Korea and the East you might as well not pursue something unless you are going to dedicate 5-6-7+ years to it? When you know you can't compete with the heavy mechanics players after a few years there really is no point in frustrating yourself if you're not having fun.

You do know Garimto has 2 OSL's correct? I don't think he is all talk.

Anyways, thats a westerners perspective take it as you will.

Also, every sport has to have an antagonist. It'll be boring if it was all super super goody rule toting boring players.

:facepalm: Who talks shit about their former job then run back to it...Begging for a harsh reception.

If I was a pro-gamer I would have a blast practicing 10-14 hours a day (I'm very lighthearted so the whole time wouldn't be staring blankly at the screen. I love my fair share of pranks, trying odd builds, and having fun while playing). Hell, my current job I work 3-4 days a week 12 hour shifts mostly being bored half the time and during the winter for 6 months I don't do ANYTHING at all. I'd love to put that kind of time into something I love (at least for a short time, before I decide to settle down)

I guess we'll find out after the first year or so of SC2.

P.S. I'm genuinly curious how much the teams in Korea and hopefully, the teams in America would differ. I think it would be an awesome experiment to have the top American Team and Top Korean team duke it out a few times a year. Grand ol' experiment.
