Its not as if he wants to jump in and be flash or some shit. | ||

Why is there is any need for him to prove his statements to you? Are you going to offer him a job if he does? Hell no. You are probably just jealous about his situation or want to start some other kind of derail on this thread. Even if he is a bronze player who just picked up the game yesterday and is just lying about his skill level so he is not shitted on by everybody on teamliquid the advises would be the same. Go to Korea, practice like crazy. On December 20 2012 21:41 Naniwa wrote: 28 yo is too old to start Cool to see someone like Naniwa answer this thread. I'm sure you can provide tons of information for the OP but please check the thread out and look at the information provided and his financial situation to make a sensible answer. | ||

There's a reason why legendary players like Boxer / Yellow / Reach eventually retire when they hit their late 20s, you just can't stay competitive at one point with younger people, the peak of people's careers usually occur between 18 and 22 and it goes downhill from there on :/ edit lol stop writing carriers | ||

If something comes along/something significant happens would you please update the thread so there is an actual result? and please consider my advice before you get into some contract with a random team house manager who provides a bed and food in a house with 10 other people. Being around progamers will probably not make you a better player. Practing will. Most korean pros practice mainly on ladder. Several have said this many times. Squirtle, Bomber, etc. On December 20 2012 19:11 NeutralDepot wrote: The question really is what you actually want. Do you want to have a fun time playing the game you love and get in touch with some well-known foreign pros or do you want to become the best player you possibly can. If it's the latter don't bother moving to some crappy team house in poland and play with medicore foreigners. As read in threads before nothing there helps you to be a better gamer aside from sitting next to semi-good players. If you want to become excellent YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE DRIVE and a comfortable practice environment. Check earlier threads about the MoV team house. Some player weren't able to sleep because of parties, do you really like sitting next to other peole hacking on their keyboards etc. etc. If you are serious about gaming and have 500 k do this: 1) Start learning korean so you can barely understand stuff and express yourself. 2) Get information about moving to korea as fast as possible. 3) Try to be there at least when HOTS comes out. 3) Rent a flat there and make it comfortable. You shouldn't really need much. Having your own flat has so many advantages over a sweaty team house where you sleep in a room with 2 to 3 other people. 4) Make a Barcode account on HOTS. 5) Practice 13 to 15 hours a day on a korean ladder. You should have the best possible ping there is. The fifth step is really all you need. It's as simple as that and by far the hardest of all at the same time. Doing this will show you the hard way whether you are motivated to become the best or not. You will have no excuse if you fail. Look at stuff like Desrow arguing about food at the MoW house or flying to MaximusBlack for a week to coach him. Somebody like him will never become remotely good. HOTS will open up attention for many new players and if you are that serious you have a chance to become known. You can participate in Code A qualifiers etc. You don't need coaching. You need top notch mechanics and these are achieved by grinding. Grinding beyond any other foreigner. Do you think top korean players got there by being coached? Coaching and MoW teamhouses are for players who do not actually have the drive to play on their own. Once you have extremely good mechanics, like top 5 foreigner mechanics, you can do whatever you want and live wherever you want but half-arsed coaching by progamers who do not have the drive to play even 10 hours a day on their own and dubious team houses in poland are not what you want. How come most foreigners are so much worse than koreans and most foreigners are not even able to beat people like Stephano/Nerchio/Scarlett who play 2 hours a day. Having your own flat in Korea is more than you need to become the best player possible environmentwise. The rest is up to you. | ||

Sometiomes people say incorrect things on the internet to get a reaction out of people. This, in my opinion, is one of those times. Think about it critically and maybe you will come to the same conclusion. | ||

I'm pretty sure alot of teams would pick you up, if your paying for most everything, its a low risk investment with a potential to appeal to starcraft 2 spectators that would see a player older and newblood and that is possibly something they could relate too. It sounds like good advertising to me even if you don't get as good as you want or hope. This is just quick brainstorming but perhaps maybe contact EG or TL to go to their new house in korea. If you can convince them that you are a low risk investment and that you would be good advertising or whatever then you could be in the exposure of korean pros that could possibly inspire you, while still having people of your own language there to keep you sane and motivated. But if you don't want to do a sacrifice like that, ministry of win or something of the like may be a little better. | ||

Go manage your own SC2 team, probably the only way to do something that is worth the time. There is a reason why the top Korean players are between 15-20years old. | ||

Personally, this is not my thing at all, but if you're happy with, why not? I'm sorry if this asks more than you want to say, but do you have any concrete plans? For example, have you been to the academies of different teams, or have you contacted something like ministry of win, like others stated in this thread? I can't be of any help, because my network is not really significant, and i have a lack of knowledge, but i'm just interested | ||
