Reach: "TossGirl I'm sorry"
Jung Suk "Reach" Park has given a public apology to his upcoming opponent in the Heritage tournament, Ji Soo "TossGirl" Seo, about a match he crushed her in over three years ago.
"Every progamer in my group is somebody I wanna beat. For Reach, he put me in an awkward position when we went to Germany," said TossGirl, "we had promised on a certain game plan, to entertain the non-Korean fans. But he didn’t play as we promised and just did Shuttle attack! I want revenge for him breaking the promise."
TossGirl will face Reach in the Heritage group stage tomorrow, a tournament to commemorate a decade of Starcraft eSports. The aforementioned match took place in June 2006, and Reach gave an official apology to TossGirl in a recent interview.
"I didn't do it on purpose. We had promised, but I was nervous because I had lost to her at a survivor match once, so I just forgot about it," said Reach about the match in question, "it wasn't intentional, so please don't feel bad. "I want to play a good game with her at the Heritage. I will analyze strategies in detail and will beat her," said Reach.
The later stages of the Heritage tournament will be played out during eStars 2009, and sees the return of former legends, current veterans as well as TossGirl for added spice.
"I want to say that I practice at home as hard as my teammates. I practice about 12 – 14 hours a day. Please wish me well! I’ve been preparing a lot harder than what people might expect." The Korean finishes the interview with a clear message that she wants to be taken seriously. "I will do my best to be a main player, not a sidekick."
The female Korean player also took part at the recent ESWC Masters of Cheonan tournament where she placed third and raised more than a few eyebrows when she waltzed on stage with a tiny mini-skirt to claim her cheque. TossGirl looks set however, to try to make her mark in the Heritage tournament for her ability, but Reach's apology will do little to cover the fact she must face him as well as Jin Ho 'YellOw' Hong in her group stage.

Ontopic: GL on estars :)
(X.X(O---(Ò_ÓQ) BEAT HIM! :D
this whole cyber thing is addiction.
doing something that you dont like but you know its for good.. now something like that would be motivation.
like studying and becoming someone educated for your country, doing something right... that would be motivation.
not playing games 24/7 trying to beat others.. thats just entertainment
plus i found this from the fan group of tossgirl..
What does a typical day look like for you?
It's boring. I usually wake up between 8 to 10am. If I do wake up at 10am, I finish eating before 11, then practice until 5, then eat again, then practice, and sleep between 12 and 2.
haha wahh did u guys read that?? if she keeps doing that then there is a medical symptom where blood doesnt get circulated enough to go to your brain, so thats what happens if u play for extended periods of time. If blood dont go to your brain you feel tired, you feel dizzy, and many kids have died like that..
well you get my point. gamers should exercise.
thanks for reading.
Dont take me wrong! I'm not this hardcore gamer that spends tons of hours each day playing games. But you can draw parallels between esport and poker. I can really see why some gets defensive at times. But it's true that the better your body and mind feels, the better you play!
If you are at the level mention above in my comment, where your a professional gamer and have found a balance where you get your daily physical practice in forms of walks, other sports or gym it shouldn't longer be classified as an addiction. However I do agree with you that the way there will be bumpy and there is need for an addiction to get there.
And then again you can discuss the word addiction and say pretty much anything in a persons life is an addiction.
So kids! Listen to dad and mummy and do you're homework and eat your dinner as you should!
