OK, I've got some time now, so I'll write something on that ****** Korean keyboard.

The day before my match I was playing in the practice room with Grubby, TillerMaN and a few other nerds and my mouse f**king broke. So I had to borrow a mouse from Sys[1] (his mouse if f**king awesome). Optical mice are so much better than the mechanical ones.

50 minutes before my match I went into the game arena, sat in front of the computer which I was supposed to be using for the match. Some Asian guy approached me, I asked him if I can install the Polish version of the game, he said yes, the rules didn't say it wasn't allowed. So I started installing and just before it finished, some Korean guy ran to me screaming, mashing the Esc button and waving his hands in all directions. He told me I can't install other language versions. I tried to explain that I need to have the Polish version installed because I don't know the English hotkeys. He replied something in Korean and went away. After 5 minutes some kind of boss came and started arguing. Then, Berenika [2] came and the big quarrel started. Everyone was waiting for me to start the game. I launched the English version and joined the game.

Match 1 has started. Again I want to do base up with again base stands up. I made a funny face. [3] I had 30 minutes before the 2nd match, so I started to install the drivers to Sys' mouse, because I didn't do it earlier. TillerMaN approached me and offered to help me with CustomKeys. We only managed to set a few hot keys before my next match.

Match 2 has started. My keyboard wasn't working at all, I could only type in chat. I mashed B A to build an altar, but it wasn't working. I called the referee and told him about the situation. He replied something in Korean and went somewhere and the game went on. I told my opponent in chat, that my keyboard isn't working and left.

They let me play 1 match and somehow I managed to win on this fucking English version.

Match 3 - I played vs some Vietnamese guy who sat next to me. Btw. that guy is Top 40 in Asia. There was about 30 cm between us, so they put some piece of cardboard between us. The cardboard kept falling over and hitting either my head or my opponent's head. Some Korean guy came to hold that cardboard. The temperature was really high, and his armpit didn't smell too good.

The hotkeys case wasn't closed yet. The organizers discussed all night and this morning they decided that I can't play. The special committee gathered once again. I was with the captain of Poland and 10 Koreans in the room, and they read the judge verdict about my case.

Other interesting "cases" involved Women's CS team (the one that won the ECG in Paris) has been kicked because the referees decided they can't play together with the Men's team.

Or another one - some Dutchman took a photo of a French girl playing CS and she punched in the face for that later.

About WC3 cases - apart form the hotkeys case (I wasn't the only one with this problem, Spain and someone else also had it) - after you play the game, you sign a protocol in Korean and the referees show where to sign and then it turns out you lost even though you won, and that way some people didn't make it out of the groups even though they should. For example Orto [4] was 3-2. The website said he is 4-1 and he made it through the groupstage.

And about Sys, he won 1 game vs some llama[5] from Indonesia. The CS players start their matches soon.

There are some cool Warcraft-themed mousepads. T-shirts, caps, hoodies. Key rings with Demon Hunter and other heroes. Some WC3-themed necklaces. Also some figurines like the ones at PC Arena in Warsaw, but better. And many others.



OK, that's it, cya
