What an Asian household is like for little Hyun-Soo Choo, now that League of Legends players are going to now be recognized as professional athletes.
Hyun-Soo Choo sits in his room playing the piano, practising The Moonlight Sonata. His head is rhythmically rolling from side to side as he lets his mind get lost in the melody and the slow, methodical strokes of the ivory keys.
Mom: (Screaming from downstairs) Hyun-Soooooo! [Time for League of Legends practice!]*
*[Translated from the Korean – dh]
Hyun-Soo: Ommaaaa (“Mom” in Korean) I don’t want to play Leagueeee!!
Mom: Hyun-Soo! [Right now!]
Hyun-Soo: Ommmaaaaaa…….
Mom: HYUN-SOO!!!
Defeated, Hyun-Soo closes the cover to the keys of his piano and begins stomping his way downstairs, begrudgingly. His mother is waiting at the bottom of the stairs with her hands on her hips, with a handheld dust brush in her left hand. She has a stern and fierce look on her face.
