After reading that post I feel like I'm not so blind to the progaming scene in Korea anymore. It takes a pretty powerful post to open someone's eyes like that.
Human teleportation, molecular decimation, breakdown and reformation is inherently purging. It makes a man acute.

Rekrul:
I guess the experience helped you to grow up a little bit.
I think it was a hard way, but probably not the worst one (but a risky one?).

Nevertheless, if I were you I would be careful with this poker business. Don't get too addicted and don't forget about your afore mentioned goals. Getting educated is more important than you might imagine. Don't miss that path, you might regret it.

You probably won't give a d*** about my words here, but I write them anyways . I think you are an intelligent young fellow, but probably lack some guidance or goals. It - in a way - remembers me of myself (ten years ago).
Take care.

Be Nice, Be Fair, Be Mannered.

i should say this again?

rekrul makes _on average_ _one thousand dollars per night_ at poker. most people can't make that in a week.

he'll turn that kind of money down for an education when he's good and ready

Wow guys. I'm sorry I punctuated wrong or something. I was in no way implying that Koreans > Chinese. I am fully aware that in the region of asia most genetics are very similar. I meant it was insulting to him and me stating something obvious and I said ' Maybe it's genetics ' as a haha joke.

That's ridiculous. Are you even 4th best at anything in this world? Yeah... didn't think so. Being top 4 is very very good.


Okay, and you have never said anyone who had placed 4th in things you pay attention to don't suck? And technically, I am not Elkys age therefore I haven't had enough time to ' become 4th best at anything in this world ' Now I'm not going to be ignorant and say I will be, but if you're going to ask...

I think it comes down to opinion. Elky was a one-hit wonder and I don't count that as successful if it doesn't allow the person to enjoy their winnings from that one event for a while. [ In starcraft time ] and yes we were talking about success in starcraft.

china is not a true communist country!!! ARGH! And true soon china will own korea, but i still think korea is better for a few other reason ^^

I'd wonder what it'd be like if Rekurl moved to China for progaming instead...

Strange... This post had a msg inside "its 99.9% impossible for YOU to succeed in progaming career", and that made me want it even more :/ Everything you wrote here fits me perfectly... I'm still practicing hard and still have ambhibition to play this game harder & harder and I still have some crazy dreams being a progamer... If I would get to be a progamer... I could finaly quit this fucking stupid school im going now which is just fucking useless (except the diplom you get from there :D) and I would be able to train 10+h a day... its a fact :/ I'm a true sc gamer and I surely would love an apportunity like you had rek :/ ... Well i gtg do some jobs now ... school sucks yO!

Goodluck rek, I think u made a vice decicion trough your feelings

For anyone getting crazy ideas of moving off to Korea on their own, all I have to say is remember KiD[ReD].

Yeah.
