Hey everyone I am attempting to compile information on foreigners that went to korea. I want to know any information about them, picture, vods, and what they are up to now a days. The bigger names are a bit easier to find information on but some of the other players have a lack of information. If any of of you ex-foreigner pro gamers read this and want to help out that would be fan fucking tastic!

Here is the list of former/current progamers

(Z)Ret
(P)(P)Asmodey
(T)(T)Assem
(P)(P)Draco
(T)(T)ElkY
(Z)(Z)eVERLAST
(P)(P)Grrrr...

(P)(P)oTTeR
(P)(P)Pillars
(P)(P)Pj
(Z)(Z)RazoR
(P)(P)Rekrul

Looks like a pretty good list.

Try PMing some people. TLPD is good.

For the people who are on this forum..

I know for a fact:

(P)Rekrul
ret
(P)NonY
(T)IdrA
And I'm not sure if there are any others who are on TL regularly.

You could have at least tried to do some work yourself before asking for help lol...

Just search for interviews. There's some on TL (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/articles.php) There's some of SClegacy and there's probably some on gosugamers too..

I have been going through lots of posts over the past 2 or so hours on some of the players on my list; the interviews should be a nice addition for content thanks.

You have 19 on your list so I think you've got them all.

Suncow isn't on there, he went to Korea but didn't actually join a programing team IIRC. Ask someone who knows, but I don't think he belongs on the list.

This blog has some good information on some of the earlier foreigners:

http://www.teamliquid.net/blog/pgt

edit: this thread has motivated me to add (T)Slayer & the 2nd KBK Masters into TLPD. Might as well add him to the list now.

I totally just searched for Slayer in TLPD and was happy to see his games there.

I assume he didnt take the contract?

That documentary was really good btw. It was exceptionally well made considering a) it was made in 2001 and b) the foreign community for SC back then was not exceptionally large.

Thanks!

iirc his parents wanted him to finish his education.
which was fair enough at that time.

if he came and owned up in 2004 and declined a contract, it would have been a foolish moved (imo 2004 was the year that 'e-sports started to bloom' in korea).

Yeah, thats understandable. It would have been awesome to see how good he could have been though considering he won that tournament. Its a lot of work for a measly 20k (I'd do it in an instant, though I dont have his skills so wouldn't be in that position) but considering most your expenses are paid for could have banked 40k in the first year (for winning the first one) and had a lot of money for school.

Either way, thanks for the documentary, would be awesome if people posted more. I can never find very many through searches because they have the most random names...
