interesting read. i would love to see the five year update.

edit: i would also like to see idra's story for his sc1/sc2, and the other foreigners' experience for sc2. sc2 seems so much easier to get into the "pro" scene because the scene is still in the infant stages.

I always enjoy reading this. It's funny that poker has played such in large role in some former BW players' lives.

Hahaha idra fans would flip and kill Rekrul

"I agree partly with Tress, but mostly disagree with you Haut..

If you go to law school, and it's what you planned to do, and you weren't forced into it, I say that's an experience that's worth something. You worked hard. You studied. You graduated. School is an experience people want, and one that is almost always the fondest memory of an old man or woman. Lawyers don't live "boring-ass" lives compared to most jobs. And being a lawyer gives you the freedom to do things with the rest of your time you couldn't otherwise.

Plus, Tress was referring to Rekrul, and it sounds like overall, once "the shit hit the fan," this wasn't a memory he'll treasure like a first born son.

And guess what, I'm not jealous of Rekrul. Being good at computer games and poker is something I respect, but he's not better than me. I'm not jealous of him, and nobody but an aspiring SC gamer hoping to go to korea, or play the best people, or own up their friends, should be. Part of me does wish I could be that good, but another part says life is more than games (and I play plenty of 'em).

Edit: Oh yeah, I know progamers. In fact I know every one to ever live. And actually they are ALL awful communist Catholic priests who molest children. Their interests are slaughtering Jews, and they have declared a jihad on all religion and religious people. For that matter, they are Capitalists who both actively oppress and totally neglect the poor.

This is really interesting. As someone who joined TL in early 2010, I agree that there should be a subforum for archived posts like this one. It's cool to read what some of the "legendary" posters and TL contributors were writing about before they achieved god-status.

I guess in some ways the legend effect has got to me too...I thought that Rekrul was already fluent in Korean by January 2005, but it turns out that's not the case. In some strange way it makes me feel a bit better about my own poor Korean, haha.

watch your mouth
your use of "boji" reflects how much you "respect" korea and korean females in general
why dont you man up and leave korea and play a fairer game?
where some females arent stupid and compeltely blind over white males.. where the biggest nerd back in states cant so easily become the biggest pimp?
alternately, just dont strut your exploits so proudly as you do now..cos you really dont deserve to
