Pro-gamers in Korea are akin to rock stars. They are stopped in the streets by fans asking for autographs. They practice 10 to 15 hours a day before they play for fun.

Lol I remember an article in PCGamer where they were bitching about how this one U.S. Pro Gamer was trying to make them pay $1000 for every photo of him they took. (and that were too lazy to just camp outside his house for a while

)

Those damn Sims, curse them!

But hey WarCraftIII got 3rd place and they even had their commercial played in movie theaters in the beginning trailers.

I'm the envy of millions of Koreans, I 'm in the WarCraft III Frozen Throne Beta-test!

Les Anglais > les pepsi/may west/tabernac/francais

By the end of that post I was running out of [relevant] french words to use. Cut me some slack, French is hard.

French has its advantages in an english dominated world like DoD. The other night, using french i pointed out a possible cheater to my fellow french canadian friend Nuclei. That player (which I'm 95% sure was using a cheat/illegal script) of course had no idea we were zooming on him

We both have a nice demo of him, but I want more.... I'm a fisherman by heart, I want to snare him, catch him hard, and beat him to death with a baseball bat
