{108}{206}Fredrik Østervold alias:Slayer is on his way to Seoul Korea.
{253}{332}Where he will compete in a Starcraft tournament.
{373}{429}The first price in the tournament is ca. 15000 USD.
{1014}{1081}Askøy out of Bergen - a couple of days earlier.
{1129}{1207}-There is no marked here for making it as big as it is in foreign countries.
{1235}{1305}-It is probably more people playing Starcraft in Korea than there are people in Norway.
{1544}{1637}-On cabel tv Starcraft has the highest rating ever made.
{1681}{1727}-And it is quite simply the most popular sport in Korea right now.
{1807}{1921}-When I first got the game it was really fun to just play against other people.
{1949}{2024}-But now I have countinued playing mostly because of money.
{2060}{2218}-It started as a game but it has become more serious than we would have thought.
{2286}{2412}-To earn money by playing a game seems very odd to me.
{2484}{2567}It is 2am.
{2677}{2749}-I just earned 1200 USD.
{2778}{2814}-In two hours.
{2847}{2882}-So that is pretty nice.
{2891}{2932}Man with the cap: -I would say 4000 hours.
{2971}{3035}-It was a tournament with 256 players
{3069}{3189}-and we played in groups until there was only one left.
{3207}{3285}-Now I just won the final 5-3.
{3297}{3329}-How does it feel?
{3332}{3381}-Great.
{3433}{3486}Starcraft - Lesson 01.
{3502}{3596}=[abs]= is the name of the clan that sven and fredrik are in.
{3610}{3676}=[abs]= is an abbreviation for another biological screwup.
{3703}{3774}-Starcraft is a RTS game for computers.
{3790}{3923}-Your mission is to rule a planet which is in outer space.
{3940}{4011}-There are three races that fight for the control of the planet.
{4039}{4114}-Each of those races are unique and has their own unique units,
{4120}{4206}that you have to use in the best possible way to defeat your enemy.
{4274}{4376}-In all games you start with a main building and four workers.
{4381}{4443}-Their job is to gather resources.
{4451}{4549}-The resources you gather in the start of the game is used to make buildings
{4556}{4638}and these buildings are used to make units.
{4707}{4866}-The main objective is then to build the right units so that you will be efficient in battles.
{5002}{5126}-To win a game in Starcraft you have to destroy all enemy buildings.
{5151}{5286}-But mostly both players know when the game is over. And the loser surrenders.
{5692}{5779}It is the first time that Fredrik travels abroad alone.
{5792}{5852}-You should not display all your money.
{6487}{6529}Fredrik has qualified as one of 172.000.
{6538}{6560}-What do you look forward to the most?
{6567}{6634}-To meet the people I know from battle.net.
{6817}{6872}-The best case scenario would be to win the entire tournament.
{6931}{6995}-But that is utterly unlikely and I have not even thought about it.
{7031}{7197}-It is so hard to win, and you need alot of luck to win it.
{7219}{7273}-And I doubt that I have that luck.
{7548}{7696}-The place you spawn when you start a game becomes your main base.
{7716}{7835}-Later in the game you will have other bases to defend too,
{7845}{7926}but it is in the main base you have your most important buildings
{7933}{8043}and if it is destroyed you will lose.
{8109}{8206}-When you start a game of Starcraft the map is covered in darkness
{8212}{8294}and you have to send a scout to find out where your enemy is.
{8393}{8473}The main reason to scout is because you have to find out what your enemy is up to,
{8524}{8593}so you can build the right units.
{8797}{8959}A long way from home.
{9116}{9150}-It cant be here.
{9160}{9219}-I dont know where we should go now.
{9441}{9571}-The is the largest tournament in Korea is held here the KPGL.
{9594}{9642}-This is larger than anything I have seen.
{9671}{9709}-This was insane.
{9724}{9765}-I cant believe it.
{12366}{12429}in Seoul there are much to see.
{12456}{12532}There are over 20.000 gaming rooms.
{14047}{14253}-I think the reason why starcraft is so popular is because it is the most complex and best game on the marked.
{14331}{14493}One of the reasons why I play Starcraft is because you can play with people all over the world.
{14508}{14644}-People that you get to know, and can talk about other things than Starcraft.
{14653}{14710}-It is almost like being in an amusement park with friends,
{14727}{14869}where you mostly chat but sometimes take a ride on a roundabout.
{15005}{15053}The day of the finals.
{15581}{15696}-It is Sunday morning and we are at Coex mall, the place where we shall play.
{15711}{15755}-In a couple of hours the final matches will begin.
{15770}{15873}-And half of the people you can see here will probably be out after first round.
{15972}{16049}The tournament is held at Koreas largest mall.
{17382}{17437}-Is this maybe the most difficult round?
{17443}{17555}-It might be so, because the players are nervous and dont know what to do.
{17774}{17862}There is not space for the entire crowd in the gaming area.
{18010}{18097}They have to follow the event on big screen.
{18636}{18782}-When I have realised the gravity in what Fredrik does, I dont think it is improper
{18787}{18827}I really dont.
{18848}{18913}-Because he knows how to make the most of the chances he has,
{18918}{19037}and he doesnt throw away his education which is first priority when he is so young.
{19258}{19292}-That went fast.
{19299}{19383}-Already after five minutes I knew that I would win.
{19394}{19523}-Because he could never attack me since I had ten times more units than him.
{19529}{19651}-He tried to drop me all the time, but it was not a problem to stop it.
{19892}{19934}-Im gonna play in few minutes.
{20000}{20052}-I have to go now.
{20118}{20178}Quarterfinal.
{21430}{21485}Fredrik has now qualified for the semi finals.
{21677}{21988}-When you attend to tournaments in different countries.it is very important that you have the rhythm you have at home,| your own mouse and keyboard etc.
{22031}{22161}-Players usually bring both keyboard and mouse, but the mouse is the most important.
{22191}{22515}If someone came to me and changed my gaming settings just before an important game,it would have been a setback for me mentally, and I would not play at my best.
{22531}{22593}And eventually lost because of it.
{22602}{22678}Before the semi final a problem occurs.
{22960}{23090}-It was a version of windows where I could not install my mouse driver.
{23107}{23195}-I have to change computer.
{23753}{23792}-If he wins the entire tournament, what will your thoughts be?
{23802}{23884}-Then I will just say "woho" because then he can secure his education.
{23906}{24114}-He will have money in the bank, and he wont have to struggle with a large student loan.
{24752}{24940}-I had four marines and he came with six lings and when he came I sent the marines back towards my ramp, |It was fucking nasty, and I thought I would lose.
{25058}{25097}-Im struggling with the mouse.
{25102}{25135}-How does it affect your game?
{25145}{25213}Im slower than normal and I missclick alot more.
{25231}{25341}-Sometimes I had almost 800 minerals because when I was going to build units I missclicked.
{25347}{25405}-Very annoying.
{26884}{26955}It is bo3.
{27141}{27225}Pictures from Korean TV.
{27287}{27378}In game 1, Fredrik who is evidently tired makes a big mistake.
{28441}{28554}But in game 2 Fredrik gets his revenge.
{28720}{28795}Third and last game.
{30555}{30630}The advantage Fredrik had has disappeared.
{30742}{30836}i love star has now more bases than Fredrik and he can produce more units.
{31307}{31397}He attacks from several places at the same time.
{33585}{33622}-Tell us about the final.
{33628}{33867}-It was unbelievable. I was one game down, but I knew what he was going to do the last game.|So I made mass tanks against his lurker strat.
{33876}{34076}-I began to sweat, I was tired and I started do yawn.
{34098}{34165}-I expected to lose in the first round to cheese or som gay stuff.
{34186}{34259}-So this was very fun.
{34313}{34405}-What do you value the most is it the game or the money you win?
{34416}{34528}-Both things, of course the money is important because it is quite alot.
{34542}{34627}-This was really fun.
{34925}{35028}Fredrik is offered a pro contract.
{36053}{36092}-Its me.
{36276}{36320}-KBK is finished.
{36358}{36414}-I won.
{36724}{36804}-I have to go now.
{36888}{36979}-Bye.
