        Because South Korea is HUGE on games, and it is also where the WCGs are held. Its definetly a market that VALVe wants to capitilize on.

            thing is, if a white person tells everyone he is white and shouting "white power", people will call him racist.



            but if an asian puts [azn] in front of his name or informs the entire world he is asian, then apparently theres nothing wrong with that.



            ahem, you guys use chopsticks, what would you know
            You mean Caucasian and Mongoloid.



            But as far as what you said goes, you could interpret [azn] as about the same as putting [amn] for Americans (or whatever the fuck you would put) or perhaps [eur]. :)



            EDIT: gg me I cant spell mongoloid!

              OMFG I'm kicking myself and my parents so hard right now, get this:



              Every summer my Korean friend Dustin goes to South Korea to live in Seoul with his dad for June and July. He invited me to go along last year and this year, but theres that whole North Korea thing lol and my parents are somewhat paranoid :|



              Hopefully he'll be going and return with some shots/game disc after stealing it

                Why do you think everyone else uses eating utensils? Here's a hint...the idea came from chopsticks.

                        I doubt that Valve's PR people are so dumb that they will schedule a major event in the middle of a run down shack in a muddy field....while it rains on their Alienware PC's.
                        Obviously you've never been to Seoul.. or even ever heard of Korea for that matter... muddy field?? LOL!!! more like apartment buildings everywhere you go!



                        I see why Valve decided to hold an exhibition there.. I mean.. they even air the freaking game tournament on a game exclusive TV channel (I found about 5 while I was there).



                        i suggest you read this...

                          you guys are frigggin retarded... seriously. why cant you guys just wait for the game instead of flaming a whole country.



                          yeah and btw... American is really bashed for being racist, but tbh its only a few people who are. however, a lot of immigrants (in my area Chinese, Indians, Koreans, and some various Europeans) are extremely racist. i know this cause i work with a city council and i have to talk with many people. A lot of the immigrants try to act gangster here because they think acting like a rapper will make them look more intimidating to the current population. the conclusion is that people dont like anything extremely different. SO YOU GUYS STOP BEING RACIST AND GETTING MAD BECAUSE SOME OTHER COUNTRY GETS TO PLAY WITH THE TOYS FIRST (and those from Korea you have no reason to be racist back as well)

                                You know why they put the demo to Korea? Here are my reasons.



                                They wants to show their work in localization.

                                They wants to show to the "Boxed" in gaming city.

                                They wants to promote this as fast as they can, since as I said above.



                                There you go! Main reasons.
