      Okay but for serious I would hate to play StarCraft if I was Korean. You have to be like 200 APM to make it out of co-op. Ladder play there is fucking nuts.

    One would think being terminally addicted to Starcraft in South Korea would be a requirement on a resume and a source of pride in an IT dept.

    The incident came to light after another employee reported it through the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute’s anonymous reporting system

    Someone got burned in a match so they decided to snitch. Poor form.

    Nobody likes a snitch.

    See, I remember watching some BW micro back before SC2 even launched. I watched marines being manually rotated around a lurker. Three marines at once shifting their firing angle, firing, shifting, firing, and on until the lurker died.

    Three marines and a turret broke a lurker siege that would have obliterated me when I was at my teenaged fastest. I knew then I was never going to play SC competitively, and even ladder would probably not be fun.

    One release of SC2 and a broken keyboard later and I was proved prescient in that regard.
