So will he bring his gf?
yeah, how is the whole family situation going to work out? Nony's staying in NA pretty much because he's married, right?

Clearly koreans are the best in the world and they can aquire way bigger sponsorship there then anywhere else. It would be stupid for the GSL to be anywhere but in Korea. I guess its cool that he is going over, but I doubt he will even qualify. The skill level between this GSL and season 1 was huge. I imagine for GSL3 it will be even larger. Unless EG is paying for him it would be a large waste of his own money to go to Korea. Stick to what you are mediocre at, NA tournies. | ||

Fairly optimistic if you think there are only ~10 players better than him in all of Korea. He'd need a pretty good bracket since he will not have played against any of the players he'll face in qualifiers, if theres one player who he doesn't know their playstyle then thats goodbye for the whole situation. Look at the EG clan wars that have been going on recently. Face someone that you don't recognize their playstyle, even if they're "only" 2100 diamond and they will always have a chance at beating you, multiply that by the 6-7 opponents he will have to face, including potentially one previous RO16 or so player and he'd need to really get lucky. But believe it or not, Fruitdealer is NOT the only person in korea better than incontrol. He has a chance, but things will have to go his way, look at Jinro for example. He didn't even face the top top players, but with just an average bracket he ran into one bad series with a mothership rush that he didn't expect and know how to prepare for. Everyone will have a chance to qualify but the odds aren't in his favor. couldn't have put it better myself. Plus you have to expect a bunch of 2k diamond koreans to join since its local for them. 2k diamonds, korean or not, are not easy by any means. They can micro and macro just as well. Add in a bit of freshy flavour and you may be in for a suprise. | ||

Then after a while IdrA neither. Actually, I'm going to disagree with that. The only real advantage Koreans had in BW was their training houses where the entire team lives, talks, and breathes SC all day every day. Now that Foreign pro's are starting to gather over in Korea, they'll have the same environment where everyone can grow together. In BW, foreign pro's more or less practiced alone and didn't have much discussion off line. Yeah their real advantage is they play a lot more, and they still will? I'd bet money on liquid people all leaving Korea within a year. Lack of practice, motivation, skills whatever. They can't compete with upcoming kids who are willing to play 12 hours a day in any conditions.

Then after a while IdrA neither. NonKorean full time pros can, like Loner, Sen, and all those Chinese WC3 pros that are switching over. They live and breathe SC. Chinese players i give more chance to. I didn't consider them really in what i was saying. People are just getting over-excited about other countries hopes. Remember there's only 64 slots in the GSL, and there's enough decent players in Korea to fill them all, so its purely luck if anyone else manages to qualify.

If Blizzard truly believed in worldwide eSports they would at least run a GSL style tournament in Europe/NA as well, then have a winners tournament from all 3. But clearly they don't so it won't happen. | ||

He still hasn't qualified for GSL, I certainly feel he is capable of doing so if he gets the right brackets and such, but he is also a terran player.

Will train for a few days (qualifier is on monday) with idra/artosis/korean ladder. If I qualify I will stay until I am eliminated. If I don't qualify I will spend a day or two with my brothers and hang out in SC2 paradise train up a bit and maybe root idra on or w/e. I am excited to be in a place in my life where this is feasible. I have the means, I have the ability and I am motivated. Whether you think I am skilled enough or not should be irrelevant. A foreigner traveling to korea to try and qualify for a tourney should be a time of celebration and excitement. I could lose or I could win but none of you know any better. So why be negative? Wish me luck or don't But I am going to have fun and work hard. When EG moves to korea I will have this under my belt to be that much more prepared to turn the Korea experience into something amazing. | ||

I appreciate the support and love. It was a bit overwhelming in Dallas how many truly amazing people I am surrounded by. I love this community and I too often give the negative minority too much attention... please know I am in awe of those that support me. Thanks And no, Anna will not be coming this time. I did however pledge if I am in the finals I will fly her out | ||

A more permanent stay would presumably hinge on the EG house? | ||
