And he doesn't want to retire without winning Blizzcon. | ||

You are smarter than me This was the same as last year's Signature Series. I wish I was born in a different year and country, so I can become a progamer champion. Well, time to start training my 1.5-year-old son, and 20 years from now Blizzard will make a video about him. I will live my dream through my son, just like TY's dad (at least I'm assuming so). | ||

I love what the caster said about his emotions 'To me, that's really scary' I can't wait to see him play! But I think I'm going to root for Gumiho. I love the underdog story. The lesser talented player winning through sheer determination is something so many of us can relate. | ||

Not that much older then him honestly, but I grew up sharing the family computer with my brother when we were playing, laptop or personal computer for kid sound like 2010 thing to me, maybe he his just wealthier then I thought | ||

I don't think they'll do videos for all the players, because they wouldn't have shown all the ones for the champions first imo, but it's possible that there is one more to come. I wonder who. | ||

Neeb is probably young enough that when he was growing up, laptops were already all the rage. When I was growing up, desktops were much easier and cheaper than laptops, but eventually the sales of desktops dropped off, and laptops all but completely replaced them. | ||

The laptop craze really hit its peak around 2010-2012 (and has since dropped off a bit mostly due to mobile and tablet devices), but even twenty years ago laptop sales were quite respectable (80 million units a year, 30% of the current sales rate). It's certainly conceivable for someone who's say ten years older than Neeb to have grown up with a laptop. | ||

He's Korean and 4th in the WCS Korean standings, so definitely not an underdog. Working harder than everyone else doesn't really work in esports since everyone already practices insane hours and playing 16 hours a day isn't actually better than playing 8 hours. | ||

Can confirm - had IBM laptop when I was 8 (am now 26), though it was my dads old one that he gave me when he got a replacement at work.

It's still a compelling story of someone who has been on the brink of victory for a few years and for some reason each time hits a wall right at the end. A player doesn't have to be a sure-fire winner or an "underdog" to have an interesting dynamic. To say it's most deserving of being told is hyperbole, but its one of those stories that explain how "relative success" doesn't necessarily equate to "true success". | ||

The guy made everyone forget MKP as the Kong of sc2, that's something! The fact that he keeps playing after all those lost finals is powerful. I wonder who is gonna be the last player to be featured. These videos are awesome, it's nice to be able to see the players in their natural habitat for once. | ||

Also he became a programmer in the subtitle. Glad that I'm not the only one making this mistake from time to time. At first at Liquipedia I always read programmer instead of progamer. | ||

"Back when he was in elementary school and before he got into StarCraft, Gumiho played the classic board game baduk/go competitively. He was actually quite good at it, even winning a regional championship in the youth division. This earned Gumiho a spot at nationals, where he unfortunately learned about getting screwed over by awful tournament organizers far before he ever became a progamer. After ending up in a three-way tie during the group stage of the tournament, he was informed that the tournament policy for draws was to coin-flip in order to save time. It didn’t go his way." If you're interested, check out the full post. | ||

Wait - are you saying, you have each 90-120 minutes of interview material of those five great players? Would you be allowed to upload the interviews uncut? They do, maybe even more, much more but that is normal. These are not experianced actors or politicians, many things obviously cannot be used. Besides the format of the series is 4 minutes to make it like a music video clip. | ||
