it's so transparent that it's disgusting!
"he really likes the fans hyuk!!!!!" "WOW WHITERA IS A MAN FOR THE FANS" *disgusting PR crap *
Actually after he was eliminated from MLG Anaheim he immediately walked out of the booth and over to the fans, started signing autographs and taking pictures, laughing,smiling, and joking with the fans the whole time. I'm fairly certain this is all genuine and he is actually that awesome of a person. You have to remember this level of fame outside of korea is new to RTS players, and I'm sure nearly all of them really appreciate the fans and community support.

This isn't "PR crap" - Whitera could be a callous dick to all his fans and opponents - like IdrA - but he doesn't because that's not who he is, a nice guy is.

White-Ra is a genuine person. If you ever met him, you'll realize that instead of spewing bullshit.
|
he must earn much more money streaming then he ever does for sponsorship/tournys... no wonder he likes the community so much!
but then again he is a likable chap and stays true to his word.

You really think this community is that blind to PR moves?

White-Ra speaks like a champ. <3

<3 White-Ra, one of the most awesome people I've ever met.
EDIT: Now I'm not a mod and if I were I'd warn anyone who would judge White-Ra's personality without ever meeting him, everyone is entitled to their opinion: But don't judge White-Ra personally if you haven't met him personally. He's really like that, he is more for putting on a show than to win, he's genuinely a great person and sometimes that strikes back at him and yeah it won't win him most tournaments but it will win him fans, me being one of them.

white-ra is hands down the most boss pro gamer out there for SC2 right now, hes just an overall bosstoss and a cool guy.
^___^

White-Ra is one of the few non-Zerg players I consistantly hope to see win games and interviews like this just make him seem all the more awesome. Really good interview.

This isn't "PR crap" - Whitera could be a callous dick to all his fans and opponents - like IdrA - but he doesn't because that's not who he is, a nice guy is. IdrA is very nice to his fans...unless he had a special attraction to me when I asked for signature and was riding in an elevator with him.
Also White-Ra is a total boss, but him and a lot of other players need to travel less. Its cool to go to tournaments, but you can see that White-Ra, IdrA, Naniwa, and others are preforming poorly because they travel too much.

Whitera the grandpa toss has to be one of the friendliest and nicest caracters in all of ESPORTS,
In like, ever. FIGHTING!!
|
White ra always responded to my messages in game very polite person anyone who thinks he is lying about fans most important is a bitter meany butt.
|
I still hope that White-Ra does not prioritize fan events over his own training though. As much invitationals as I have seen where just being invited gives you money, this is still suppose to be competitive, right?
Anyhow, GL to White-Ra, captain of the World-Team!
