Globe and Mail: S.Korea Complete Standstill imminent on Tuesday

From the Globe and Mail:
Source:http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/article1652078

First paragraph....Looks like they will fight a brave battle with the North Koreans

Quote:
On Tuesday of this week, South Korea will come to a standstill. The streets will lay abandoned, as though in the wake of a zombie apocalypse. Vital public services will atrophy. Little children in playgrounds throughout the country will look around in bewilderment, wondering where the hell their parents disappeared to.

LOL at the writer

Quote:
The world was a different place when the original StarCraft debuted in 1998: The Clinton-Lewinsky scandal was just beginning to set the gold standard for political hilarity; otherwise sane people were dumping millions of dollars into a tech venture called Pets.com; and airline security had not yet morphed into a strange burlesque of mandatory shoe-removal and full-body scanners. It was an innocent time.

StarCraft changed all that. Well, not really, but it did go a long way toward establishing the kind of gaming experiences most folks take for granted today.

$60...

gonna wait 2-4 years for the price to drop to $30.



j/k.. saving $30 at the cost of missing out for 2-4years isn't the reason why I'm not going to get it now..

I don't want to get sucked into it at this time of my life.

I'm not good with self control. I've been trying to quit RS for the past year, but I ended spending more time on this forum.

Hi, my name is ByunTae from South Korea. I have been playing Starcraft since 1998 and I was born and raised in Korea. I'm 100% full blooded Korean, meaning I have been gifted with unparallel talent to master any video game, particularly, Starcraft: Brood War. I'm also experienced in Counter-Strike, I am able to perform bunny hops, my best score on a public 32 player game was 171-2 with 170 kill streak. I'm offering my expertise in Starcraft to be taught to non-Koreans that wishes to have the skill of a Korean player. I have advised and coached many professional gamers such as Im Jae Dong, Park Myung Soo, Ma Jae Yoon, and more. Boxer and I were great friends until he started using my dropships to gain his fame. I started training other players to be on par with Boxer and eventually surpassing Boxer. He is no longer the best player thanks to my contribution to rest of the players. I did not compete in pro gaming because they KTF did not agree with my seven figure contract demand.

Things I will be teaching in Starcraft:
1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8a9a0a
Micro management
Macro management
Map specific strategies
Basic and Advanced strategies and build orders for all three races.
In-game bugs to be used to your advantage such as unit stack, stop lurkers, etc.
Counter strategies and perfect attack timings.
Learn Korean lango, like "chobo" "gosu" "ww" etc
Basic Korean to communicate with Koreans on battle.net
Unit details, their size and their pros/cons against other units
My signature cannon rush along with my signature cheese rush


My lessons will result in:
Faster APM - average professional gamers range from 250-550. Average player is about 100.
Better Win/Loss Ratio
Chance to become a professional gamer in Korea - Celebrity status, especially for foreigners, like Guillaume Patry and Bertrand Grospellier
Bragging rights, that you're as good as a Korean in Starcraft
You will be called a hacker because you're so good.
Korean girls will be intrigued that you're such a good Starcraft player.

My lessons are offered to only non-Koreans or American born Koreans because they lack the blessing from the Gaming God, Norazi. Sun Tzu once said, "Defiler becomes useless at the presences of a vessel." You will be come the vessel against the defilers that treats you like a non-korean, laughing at your pitiful Starcraft skills...however, you will demolish them with the new profound skills.

Pricing:
Basic training: $25/hr
Estimated course length: 6-8 hours
Basics of micro/macro management.
Learning the units and buildings
Basic strategies and build orders
Learn attack/production timing
Hotkeys
Worker stacking
Learn Korean words to understand Koreans talk in game

Advanced training: $35/hr
Estimated course length: 8-10 hours
Muta stacking
Lurker stop and stacking
Cloacked zergling
Advanced strategies and build orders
Map specific strategies
Various secret tricks and tips
Bootleg copy of Boxer's DVD imported from Korea
Learning basic Korean to communicate with Korean on battle.net
Advanced micro/macro management <- EXTREME SKILL

Race Specific Training:
I will teach you EVERYTHING i know about those races, making you an unstoppable force within the World of Starcraft.
Estimated course length: 4-6 hours
Protoss: $20/hr
Zerg: $25/hr
Terran: $30/hr

For all students, i will also offer 2 hours of my time for the week of the lesson taken, to play together in 1vs1 Lost Temple/Python or other custom maps.

Please contact me if you have any questions, I promise that I will make you into the best non-Korean Starcraft Player EVER, amongst those trained by me.

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
