Jeg trur kanskje verden var litt mindre for 10 år siden. Jeg vet ikke om det var like naturlig for en gutt fra bergen å ta den sjansen på andre siden av verden da. ^^
FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Fredrik was only 16 when this happeed and he hadn´t even finished high school, so you can understand why he chose the latter. He then startet out playing poker and in 2004 he came in third in a huge tournament. He does not play Starcraft anymore, but a little WOW now and then. Hope his life turns out alright, unlike other WOW-ers. Love from Norway ;)
He says at the end he won. 100 000 kroner. By today's rates that's 16 900 US dollars, 11 250 british pounds, or 12 400 euro.
I can find a lot of hard info on the tournament, but not the exact prize money. The 'check' he gets at the end of the video looks like it might say 18.1 million South Korean Won, which by todays rates are just around 93 000 kroner.
awesome what he did, maybe one of the first to do it too? go to korea and kick some a**. and he gets to play the emperor. shame he didnt stay, ah well coolest part is when he brushes off the ''cocky clan manager'' and his offer. ^^
The only problems I really have w/ StarCraft while playing is I don't build enough detectors, but then again Midas has that problem in some of his games.
@elisan3 He probably retired by now and should he have given up his university education and work at McDonald's for the rest of his life? Probably not...
I like the soundtrack, sounds like theres hydraes fighting wraith and siege tanks pluss zealots while he is just building his 5scw... But honestly people, this is evry boys dream.
dang.... his apm must've been rly high back at that time, no wonder most players couldn't keep up with him, =] i agree with mizeriq about how starcraft has evolved.... goodness... times have changed...
rofl at how bad the casters butchered his name
