Tgun was kind enough to sit down with me for a chat: here's a little of what we spoke about.

You made a comment that most people don't understand how players in Korea actually practice. How much did you understand about practice before you joined FXO, and what had changed by the time you left Seoul?

Before joining FXO, most of my practice was just spamming ladder games, getting angry when I lost, spamming more games, and stopping after a few hours (anywhere between 3-6 depending on the day), then proceeding to look at replays of games I didn't completely understand. When I went to Korea, we saw how the fOu team (which is now part of FXO) practiced, and their setup: it's completely different to western practice.

At most, if you want to observe a game in anywhere but Korea, you have to find one of your friends that are the same race as you, get into a custom game with them (or watch their stream) and ask them about whatever is troubling you: in Korea, you have teammates sitting next to you of the same race. If you're having an issue, you can simply look to your left or right and either watch them play, or talk to them about it. When at lunch, you talk about Starcraft. Same for dinner, same for breakfast. You live Starcraft over there, whereas here, you generally don't have the same atmosphere. It's disappointing, in my eyes.
