I don't know what they have to do when they serve in the army, but if it actually means training, shooting, etc, then I think it's a good idea for it to be mandatory. Get your citizens in shape, get them educated, have them understand some laws, build comrade-ry which helps socially awkward people, and a whole host of other things. 2 years seems like a long time, an I don't know how old you have to be,but North Americans should perhaps do it as Grade 12 or bring it back as Grade 13.
Moon is my favorite sc2/wc3 player because I know he's still gonna be at the top in a couple years, and couple years after that... not only because he has a real life personality but because he's clever as hell in his life choices
I'm glad i was able to get known a bit those legends :)
Its nice to be a part of that even from behind
Such a nice people, its a bit irritate that some of the stupid users of youtube are so envy and write shitty comments but anyway theyre lives are kind of dream come true :)
both are really well mannered and are good guys, but they seem to regret the life in social isolation a bit, well wish them the best! i keep on playing for fun :)
MooN isnt the kind ofguy made for the army, maybe he should register for college and he wouldnt have to go to the army. I like the guy, very competitive but at the same time, a gentle personality.
the koreans and japaneese are just so different than other races...they all seem so calm and have this nice life philosophy even the hardcore gamers are not your typical nerds...i love them :D
@urkomplex Yeah I agree. The more I find out about Korean culture, and the Pro Gamer lifestyle over there the more I like it. I try to model my attitude towards gaming like theirs, because I feel that you can be proud of being a gamer like that. There is a clrear cut difference between a gamer by profession, and someone who is good at games, but lets it eat away at their very well being and life.
@EpicManasaur Not really. You don't hear of sponsored pro gamers dieing from over playing and not many of the korean pros are overweight. Infact NaDa is pretty buff. There is a difference between a drive for a passion and an obsession that gets in the way of your self preservation and common sense.
@urkomplex Yeah, they're awesome. But they are like that because they are more accepted as pro gamers in their society than your typical American or British pro gamer.
@supergod58 They draft people into the army in Korea, If you are male and over 18 you have an 70% chance of getting drafted into the army to serve your country.
@supergod58 all koreans must join the army when they reach 21 years old i believe. and they must stay there for 2 years before they decide to leave or stay. its the law everyone has to.
@tomstutorials Oh, shit he made 8k at some small tournament for playing a game. Obviously much better than what you're doing. Run along and upload more of your "tutorials."
@Gettingpersonalrofl did i say he was shit no. Im just saying i would of like to see this based on some bigger gamers. Now gettingpersonalrofl Suck MY COCK
@tomstutorials They are the biggest gamers in Korea, you faggot. Rofl, get all mad now huh that you want some homosexual experiences. Seriously, get the fuck outta here, didn't I tell you to run along?
@tomstutorials Rofl, if you were about the world, then you watched the wrong videos because clearly this video was about pro gamers in Korea. It even says it in the description. Fucking fail more. I'm also not trying, I'm actually succeeding, got you all riled up for homosexuality.
@MiloDaemon ya i noticed that. iam like that too. i'am a hardcore gamer myself, so i can relate to some of those professional Korean gamers and what they do.
The fu*king first price was 8.000$ ? I bet what his sponsors earn through him dwarf whatever he gets. And in a few year's time, he'll be all wasted and discarded.
Seems to be a tough "field of work", to say the least.
@Ileyon well remember the sponsors are also well estabilished companies like samsung n stuff. prob dont need it that much.. and that was probably a mid sized local tournment. wcg is 20,000 for first place
@Ileyon if u want to earn money playing video games professionally, i suggest Major League Gaming (MLG). Each first prize for each event is worth $20,000. At least if you play Halo 3. and for the championships, over $100,000 for the first prize winner!!
@scottyz24 Good luck making it through AM bracket and then even breaking top 8. Then subtract flight and hotel costs from what you win. Only people who make money in mlg are the very top, no one else
moon is the #1 warcraft 3 player in the world...he earns at least 100,000 US dollars per year through tournament earnings alone (the 8k shown in the video is a small tournament) and the earnings he gets from sponsors are confidential
@Ileyon His salary is 16 000$/month, in 2007 he made over 160 000$ through prize money alone. You can add his salary to that, back then he was under different contract which was around 9 000$/month. WC3 is slowly dieng due to being so old and SC2 taking over, thats why there aren't many big tournaments left and the prize money is smaller these days. Still he should be a millionaire through his earnings he made playing WC3 for around 6 years.
@johnlee052 well they did cover that...talked about how they trained...what else more do you want? all pro gamers basically sleep eat and play...and are confined in a building for most of the time... although they do exercise as shown here.
I thought Moon was saying he'd like to see Seoul with his future wife. I had no idea he married so early. He's one of the most modest, genuinely chill progamers everytime there's an interview.
@ashkaradur718 If I had to guess... I'd say the depressing feeling comes from how these guys see gaming as work more than fun (they have to, and to them it is)
And also the realization that to ever be anywhere near _that_ good, you'll have to find 11+ hours a day at least 3 days a week to play non-stop video games.
For some, that isn't hard, but for most, that is impossible.
@ashkaradur718 It shows that they have to play hours on end and work as hard as they can. It is wake, eat, and game then sleep and re-do it all over the next day. Not having a normal life and to have all the stress of the next game they have to win. Little time to get out and see people then join the AirForce. It just shows being a Pro Gamer at this level is not all fun and games.
@MpoEntertainment Oh well, thats easy to answer. The better you play, the more you achieve. As soon as you start winning important leagues and cups, clans or organisations will recognize you, recruit you for a team, which includes the sponsort etc.
@MpoEntertainment Be Korean. Nearly all progaming teams are Seoul-based so unless you're a national, unlikely you'll be recruited. Though there are a few foreigners who made a name from dominating their own individual leagues.
I don't know what they have to do when they serve in the army, but if it actually means training, shooting, etc, then I think it's a good idea for it to be mandatory.
