Hi guys~
Many people used to ask me how did I become a progamer so I'm going to write my old experiences
before progamer and how did I get into my first team.
Originally I wanted to be Brood War progamer I have seriously started to play in 2009.
It is commonly known that Korean people put so many time in studying.
my High school schedule was insane.
Wake up at 6 am, first class begins at 7:20 and it ends at 10:00 pm
get home approximately 10:30 then have to finish my home work, sleep at 12 am
It was so insane I've never had time to play game and I think that is the reason why most of Korean players withdraw there school for gaming.
After convincing my parent, I quit my school and I got into "Amateur Practice House" which was operated by Clan Shield.
When I got there I was intimidated because there were some Semi-pros and 2nd team progamers.
House practice system wasn't perfect they didn't really care about practice.
only few people practice hard and I wasted my 1 year at there
I wasn't so good I was between A- and A (ICCUP)
(btw I met some SC2 players here. some people are doing really good)
And after that I switched the amateur team house Shield to Fou which was operated by Choya
and then SC2 was launching open beta and Choya Convinced us to play sc2 which has more opportunity to be a pro.
I think it was turning point in my life, otherwise I would have wasted my whole life playing Brood War as a amateur.
then i got back to my home playing alone and I was surprised by my self because I made #1 KR Ladder a couple of times.
And I got scouted By Clan Werra
Originally I asked them for the test but Gundam.Werra (who eventually turned out as Gay)
Scouted me without Test and Werra was planning to make their own team.
and my first tournament was GSL Open Season 1 I was confidence in my self because I was #7 ladder at that moment. I beat Gumiho and I lost to Justfake.Werra.
I was depressed that I couldn't make into GSL. and lots of players who(whom?) I considered as a weak player and it made me feel more depress. In retrospect that moment, my mind set was terrible xD
I went to GSL Open Season 1 Final with Clan Werra players.
(My closest friend in Werra was NSH.Tassadar)
And we saw Fruitdealer Won the Final which stimulated us a lot.
There was a Tournament which was operated by Thisisgame.com.
I won that tournament and received Razor SC2 Gears and I used to play a lot in Gisado's KOTH
because of those things I got Team Joining offer from TSL(I've never expected) and at the same time I made into GSL Open Season 2.
It was my life before progamer :D
Thanks for reading hope you guys enjoyed !
I'm going to write some episodes in TSL(which I can talk in public)
Any Grammatical corrections would be appreciated. <3
