The reason Kid[RED] failed in Korea was because he was too immature to live on his own in another country. If I remember corresctly, he hadn't even travelled to a non english country? Seriously, in no way was his experience in travelling to Korea representative of how someone should do it. | ||

On a different note, perhaps now that you don't need to keep your replays secret you could release a small reppack? I'm interested in seeing you in top form (that game vs stylist[gm] was neat) | ||

I mean, if you're bound and determined to go to Korea, I say go for it. Most of the cool people I've met online are Koreans. But caution and planning are very much necessary. | ||

moving to korea to pursue progaming is obviously a huge life decision, but just like going to any other country to live there on your own, you have to be quite ready mentally, emotionally, and materially to do so... but the cost of living in korea is NOT high... you could get by there on a thousand dollars a month easy. housing is NOT expensive compared to the U.S.-- there are boarding houses where you play around 400 USD and get meals as well. granted, it's no taj mahal but it's definitely livable. everything related to living (i.e. food) is less expensive and internet service and cell phone service is astronomically cheaper and higher quality than in the states. (high speed internet for around 15 dollars a month) given that, the main thing to surviving is maturity and your mindset. if what you want to do is go out and party and go clubbing and drinking 3 times a week, that will get old real quick and will drain you of your money real fast. but if you want to actually experience another country and have a genuine interest in doing so, there are so many great things you can experience in korea-- lots of beautiful places and lots of things to do beyond playing sc --;; i'm impressed by rekrul's apparent willingness to not only live in korea beyond progaming, but also to learn the culture and the language. not many foreigners actually put in that effort and i'm convinced that rek, or anyone for that matter, will really benefit in the long run from that effort. | ||
