In pro baseball, there are many times when the participation of foreigners decides the outcome of a game. Last year on the Dusan Bears (Korean baseball team), Rios of the pitching department, who claimed three pitching awards and guided the Bear's in the post-season, was the most contributory player on the team. This year, the actions of Garcia of the Lotte Giants and Clark of the Hanhwa Eagles are the most prominent. However, in e-sports, the participation of foreigners is very limited. The only really successful foreign pros are Guillaume and Bertrand; other foreign pros usually return home without any commotion or real acknowledgement. Because the participation of foreigners is so limited, these days it is very hard to even see a foreign Starcraft pro.
For the first time in a long time, we have been able to meet a foreigner in a pro-gamer training center. A foreigner, following in the footsteps of eStro’s Guillaume, Bertrand, and Peter has appeared. Gregory Andrew Fields has been training with the estro team since April. Greg is the first foreigner in a long time who has appeared on the Korean starcraft scene.
*He is clearly different from Bertrand and Guillaume.
Greg claimed first place at an estro sponsored event called, “Superstars” and was given the chance to practice with the estro team. “Superstars” is an estro sponsored Starcraft tournament that targets American amateur gamers. Greg claimed first place in the Superstars tournament and received an invitation from Coach Jiho Lee to train with team estro. Coach said, “He was able to come because he won the Superstars tournament. Greg was an acquaintance of Peter who trained with estro before. Peter talked regularly about his experiences with estro and from that point on Greg had a strong desire to come to Korea.”
On his way to Korea, Greg said that he made a resolution that he would not fail like the other foreign pro gamers. “Other foreign pro gamers were interested in playing matches, but many of them also had an urge to explore Korea. But I am different from them. I am only interested in becoming a pro gamer. That is why I came to Korea. I have been secluded in a training room for almost 2 months and I have not gone anywhere.”
Estro’s Jiho Lee said, “I don’t recall seeing Greg really leave the training facility. In the training room he is receiving the same intensive training as everyone else.”
*While watching Nada, Greg raised his dream of becoming a pro gamer.
When asked what kind of pro gamer he wants to become, without hesitation, Greg replied, “Nada”. Nada is the ID Lee Yoon Yeol of Wemade Fox utilizes. Greg says that he watched the plays of Nada and dreamt of one day becoming a pro gamer. "Lee Yoon Yeol is the tpye of player I aspire to become. I gained interest in Starcraft when I watched Lee Yoon Yeol’s games and I am living my pro gamer lifestyle with Nada as my eventual goal. He is also the reason my main race is Terran.” With Nada as his inspiration and role model, against the wishes of his father, Greg risked everything and came to Korea. Greg, who came to Korea with much difficulty, said he was very surprised at Korea’s Starcraft training facilities.
“My father was very against my coming to Korea. But because it was my dream, I did not want to lose a good chance. My mother fully supports me. She also frequently converses with the coach.”
“At first, I thought we would have self controlled practice. But in a first rate training facility, the amount of training is unparalleled. It’s like the army here. The training is hard but I think it is really an outstanding step-by-step program to create a pro gamer. Other foreigners would really have a hard time following this kind of training regimen. But because I came to Korea to become a pro gamer I enjoy the practices.
*I will get my name into the Proleague roster within 10 months!
Greg’s aspirations, like all other pro gamers, are wins in Proleague and individual leagues.
“Obviously my goals are to win in both Proleague and individual leagues. Of course, I know this will be very difficult, but in the meantime, I am in possession of very distant goals. Currently my goal is to pass the Courage League. Once I pass the courage league matches and receive my qualification as a pro gamer, my next goal is to get on the Proleague roster.”
Greg’s goal is to be on the Proleague roster within the next ten months. Coach Jiho Lee say that the process usually takes 1 year, but Greg, with burning desire, says that he will train much harder than other pros to see if he can shorten that time. When asked to inform fans of his play style, Greg replied, “Although my control may be lacking, I am confident in my ability to macro.” But Coach Lee said, “In my opinion, it is the opposite. Greg is deficient in many areas of his game, but he is especially lacking in his ability to read the game and produce units.”
“Korean fans probably don’t know who I am yet. If they just knew the fact that I was pushing myself to my limits practicing in the estro training facility, I would be very happy. I don’t want to be called a white gamer. I will try my hardest, instead, to be remembered as an exceptionally skilled pro gamer, so I hope that people will have interest and watch over me,” Greg said, as he once again returned to the training room.

Well here is a part
NADA' along to watch the dream of a pro gamer!
Greg wants to become a professional gamer and is asking himself the question, without hesitation, 'NADA' he said. 'NADA' is the nickname used by Yi Yun Yeol. Greg is playing Yi Yun Yeol dreaming about reports that pro-gamers.
"My final goal is Yi Yun Yeol. I'm playing the game Starcraft becuase Yi Yun Yeol felt interested in the life to aim to be a pro gamer. Because of that Ju Jongs family decided to play Terran "
Sounds like he got NaDa as some sort of role model

Does NaDa Say GG? this could explain alot... :D

I was thinking the same thing; he looks like a totally different person. I guess it is amazing what some physical exercise and a decent haircut can do for a person.
Small aside, does anyone know how much players/teams focus on the physical appearance? It seems like there are many more progamers who are attractive than the result and even those who lack natural beauty seem to be sporting hip hair styles? And I also know that a large reason there is such a strong female fanbase is the idol aspect; so it seems like this is something especially team managers would care about (since popularity is more important than skills for sponsorships and such; just that the latter usually leads to the former).

My korean skills have diminished but I think the headlines read Idra is going to be playing in October's proleague roster. The rest I can't really translate well, sorry, I'm sure someone will pick up on it.
Well basically the gist of the interview is, he's different from scenario of grrr/elky, Nada is his role model, and he's determined to go the lengths as a progamer.

If you understood FighterForum, its like a mass of spamming retards, like a gg.net almost, so I wouldn't take it seriously, just a bunch of nerds trying to get some attention and being xenophobic about a foreigner in Korea.
I think that was a mistake for me to include that, I hope it doesn't affect him :/
yeah could you guys just erase all of that? I hate reading my own statement as well.

the headline is kind of misleading, not to metion your korean skill is rusted
if you read careful enough, it's basically implys that he is hoping to break through into proleague roster within 10 month.

pretty accurate translation except for this part:
On his way to Korea, Greg said that he made a resolution that he would not fail like the other foreign pro gamers. “Other foreign pro gamers were interested in playing matches, but many of them also had an urge to explore Korea. But I am different from them. I am only interested in becoming a pro gamer. That is why I came to Korea. I have been secluded in a training room for almost 2 months and I have not gotten anywhere.”
i think "have not gone anywhere" is a much better translation, as in, he hasn't explored korea at all.

Greg was an acquaintance of Peter who trained with estro before. Peter talked regularly about his experiences with estro and from that point on Greg had a strong desire to come to Korea. that was supposed to be brian (assem). mistranslation or did they put the wrong name?

LOL I'm guessing that was "주종족" which means "main race".
W/e translator you used probably read it as "주종 족" and thought 주종 was a name and 족 as "family".

Well, I can see IdrA getting a lot of flames for his confidence, and even though his posts here are pretty childish I wish him well. I hope he can live up to his dreams.

What is wrong with you guys? He says he has come to accomplish his dreams in Korea, and you guys are all talking about iloveoov and hows he good or not good and wahtnot. Mr. Fields, please be successful in Korea before returning home; I will be praying for your success!
looks like someone from teamliquid threatened the koreans, too... rofl. go test: freezoney?

Pretty sweet, if he is actually as confident/forceful with himself as he says he is, then I don't doubt his ability to break through. Will he ever beat Flash? No, but I could see him getting TV matches next year.
|
Nice to see IdrA is still confident after his performance at PGL. I'm rooting for you, Greg Fields. Show people that, even if our state is utter shit everywhere, we can produce good Starcraft players!
Er... I guess I'm not the best person to state that New Jersey produces good Starcraft players. -_-

lol, that is pretty harsh. I love how Daniel Lee is so blunt with his criticisms.

JAMESSSSSSS ILOVEYOU
THANKS FOR TRANSLATING

Well, they've given Idra a nice makeover. The interview was interesting, Idra seems exceptionally committed and that stands him in good stead. Best of luck Greg.
|
cant wait to see him pass courage
|
Putting gel in his hair = makeover?
|
when is the next courage test btw?
|
masami.sc is a baller.
I am still strongly against the eStro coach. *shrug*
Idra Fighting~!

Say what you will but the eStro coach obviously gets results.
Oh wait.
Idra Fighting~! I really hope you accomplish your dreams and you do it as fast as you are hoping to! Train hard and keep the big picture in mind!

Don't know if this has been said before, but IdrA kinda looks like Rick Astley now (rickroll for all you nerds).
At least in the 2nd picture he does.
No?

God I really hope IdrA can do it. Seems he is extremely determined.
Gogo IdrA!
|
is he a ginger kid?
lol south park,
|
IdrA's attitude is very good, shows a strong mentality! I hope Daniel Lee will think over his decision, he plays an important role in the team. Against all logic I believe that Estro is one of the strongest teams, they've had some really close matches in this pl season and they showed how dangerous they are. I think what Estro lacks of right now is the fortune of the brave.

there should be a joke cermony where elky places the sunglasses on idra in a kind of royal celebration

Rick Astley had a greatest hits album? I assume it went like
1. Never Gonna Give You Up 2. Never Gonna Give You Up 3. Never Gonna Give You Up 4. Never Gonna Give You Up
etc.

Idra is a dead-ringer for a kid I used to pick on in the 'burbs.
|
|
|
I definitely think his first celebration should be putting on the elky glasses.

Greg wants to become a professional gamer and is asking himself the question, without hesitation, 'NADA' he said. 'NADA' is the nickname used by Yi Yun Yeol. Greg is playing Yi Yun Yeol dreaming about reports that pro-gamers.
"My final goal is Yi Yun Yeol. I'm playing the game Starcraft becuase Yi Yun Yeol felt interested in the life to aim to be a pro gamer. Because of that Ju Jongs family decided to play Terran "
Sounds like he got NaDa as some sort of role model
err yeah the article also mentions that alot so nothing new there

:D Interesting to see these two pov's differ.

I'd side with Lee because you can often see IdrA's cash rise to unknown heights considering his overall skill. His micro is good but his macro can be so off that I'd like to start wailing when I see that happen. I think too much confidence causes ignorance, IdrA is very confident in his macro, that might be the reason for it. I'm sure he can get rid of that weakness if he concentrates on it for some time.

The comments written below the article:
If it was some other sport, then maybe he could make it, but since this is e-sports, the reality is that he'll be dominated by Korean players. Isn't this just a matter of bringing in a mercenary? paladin2020 paladin2020 2008-06-23 15:34:24
lol, this guy doesn't know the superiority of Korean players. A long time ago, someone like iloveoov was considered to be a good player, but these days every man and his dog is as good as iloveoov. hom1031 hom1031 2008-06-23 17:16:18
to the guy above me; don't talk bs. There are still plenty of gamers who can't reach the quality of oov. jhongseok jhongseok 2008-06-23 22:16:47
He came all the way overseas with a dream and he's trying his best, but the sad truth is that I won't be cheering him on. freeword123 freeword123 2008-06-23 22:53:54
I think the first comenter is right. The truth is that Korean gamers just don't get dominated by foreigners. Every now and then they lose a game in WCG, but that's it. Instead of bringing in some mercenary, wouldn't it be better to spend some money and bring over some successful pro gamers? kidali815 kidali815 2008-06-23 23:22:14
What the hell is wrong with you all? He came all the way to Korea with a dream, and you're saying crap like "pfft, this guy thinks iloveoov is all that?" I'll be praying that Fields will succeed and return to his home country.
I hope you all realise that all of your comments are going to be pasted straight onto the foreign Starcraf site teamliquid (yep!) So watch your words, you no-manner Koreans!
I won't be supporting him, but what is this crap about paying money to bring players over? -_- What the hell does that mean? 민경훈훈 bestlife90 2008-06-24 14:57:37
