. . . but first he has to Unroot from his chair.

For the upcoming Beijing Olympics 2008, Warcraft 3 superstar Korea, South MYM]Moon is slated to take part in the Olympic torch relay in Hainan Province, China, amongst other professional players. Will he be able to keep up with the “other” athletes? With Boots of Speed, damn right he will! ---

Feh. I bet that thing gives shammy bonuses. And there’s so many it can’t be more than a green. He’s welcome to it. ---

This is Warcraft 3, which is awesome, not WoW, which is… WoW. So the Boots of Speed reference is perfectly acceptable but AH references are not! 😃 On a more serious note re: the OP… I guess if he’s important enough in Korea. I’m surprised it’s not someone Starcraft-related, honestly; it seemed to me WC3 never got as big a base as SC did there, anyways. ---
