[OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

[Muggs]

yeah we do it. It certainly seems to help to be korean though.

Asians have a natural +10 to videogames.

I would guess that if you were to make it to the top 1 percent of gamers it would likely not be fun anymore and would just be like any other job

Well it depends. I'm sure some progamers view it as just another job, just as some athletes do, but I do think quite a few enjoy it too!

Not all progamers are Korean just most of the Starcraft ones. We have a lot of European, Russian, and American pros too.

Well there are a lot of progamers outside of korea now too. But up until SC2, it was sort of a segregation going on in that most korean progamers didn't leave korea for tournements, and foreigners didn't travel to korea for tournements. >_>

One exception was Idra though, who was part of a korean team and IIRC lived in korea. Although at the time of SC1, he was a bottom b list player or something from what I've heard, while now he is at least outside korea considered the number 1 zerg player, and pretty sure he ranks in top 5 or even 3 zerg players in the world. I guess he benefited from training with his korean teammates!

Lol! So true!

[kestegs]

Yea, you can't deny the Korean power.

I was going to marry a Korean so my kids would at least get a +5 to gaming, but it was a no go.

[Jcakes]

I married a HAC for the +5, but she is Chinese and I don't think it works

[kestegs]

No. your kids will get +5 to textiles.

[Jcakes]

Actually it is probably +5 to intelligence.

[kestegs]

She's not Japanese is she?

[Jcakes]

Nope, that would be +5 to pornstar

[kestegs]

Only if she had a huge collection.

[Muggs]

Actually it is probably +5 to intelligence.

You are stereotyping all Asians and that stereotype belongs to the Japanese

I married a HAC for the +5, but she is Chinese and I don't think it works

No the Chinese have yet to make it on the competitive scene. There are some out there but they are by far the rarest.
