after I heard about the whole holding off the all-in and countering with a proxy pylon thing from artosis, I got super excited and was sure you would make it.

so what does this mean for your future plans? I'm sorry if you've already answered this, but I just really wanna hear you say you're gonna move to korea and own next season haha

well, regardless what you do I wish you the best of luck!

Too bad you barely didn't make it. So I understand there's the possibility of you returning to Korea?

Damn you were soo close Incontrol. Dont you feel like your unorthodox play is sometimes holding you back more than it does you good? Early DT play in a final game for GSL quals is a bit risky dont you think? Same thing vs Drewbie last MLG, you beat him in a straight up game but the game you tried to go for DTS you lost.

Going for DTS when you're up 1-0 or when the score is 0-0 might be a bit safer mindset to approach a series in my opinion. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. I know you're a smart player but it sometimes feel you're putting yourself in position you don't need to be on because you're not trusting your more "standard" play?

Thanks for the blog

Thanks for the post collotoss!

Who do you think could make it to ro64 if they came to korea?
Who do you think WILL make it to ro64 of the players left?
Finally, is there a way to upload the reps??

Congrats man! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, stuff like this really makes this community worth being a part of. Every foreigner should be proud of you. The haters are idiots, you have the balls to follow your dream and it looks like you are well on your way. I can't wait until you get another chance to come back to Korea and compete again.

Did you/do you know it was Moon you were playing against? The post makes it sound like you either didn't know or don't know who he is. Looking at his wikipedia page is quite intimidating... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jang_Jae_Ho

None the less awesome job! Sad to not see you qualify, but really that's an incredibly tough final match, one made even worse because you had to play on scrap.

=(

Sad that you did not make it but gratz for gaining an invaluable experience.

Was following the GSL quali's the whole day and your's and Kiwi's failure to qualify was a total bummer.

How do you think the skill level of players compares between Koreans and foreigners now that you have experienced Korea first hand? Do you think the gap will widen if foreigners don't get their act together fast or there is no gap whatsoever and that the foreigners will be fine even if they don't set up practice houses and stuff

Seeing how abysmal Protoss' performance is, what do you think Protoss players must improve on. Do you see Protoss as the weakest race or the results are just a byproduct of the maps / player qualities? And are you still confident that Huk will give a good showing knowing the maps and that PvZ is his weakest matchup?

Cool to hear your thoughts and I'm glad you can take the loss well and make the most of it. Even if you barely missed qualifying you still achieved something there and you'll have grown as a player in skill and experience.

Unrelated questions: is Upmagic practicing SC2 despite Gom saying they can declare you unfit as a gamer?
And: can you speak at all on the EG house; will you be returning for it, with teammates?


EG is getting a house in korea. The date is not finalized.. hopefully sooner rather than later. Specifics are not in stone yet so I cannot comment too far but I can tell you EG wants to use korea as a base to train to be the best and expand our label. From there we will compete in the big western/euro/eastern tourneys.


I hope you guys are able to form a relationship, as did TL, with someone out there if at all possible. Korean managers/coaches with some knowledge of English, and with experience in the progaming scene would really, really improve your practice / living conditions (rather than just having a handful of guys in a house together.)

What's the point of UpMagiC practicing for SC2 when he knows he will never be allowed to compete in the GSL?

Also, I was really pulling for you and Guemchi to qualify. I hope that this experience made you a better player and that when you get back to NA you will smash some faces.

Seems like it really was the hard luck of the draw
Would have been really awesome to see you in the ro64 at least
I hope you try again for GSL4
Lecture me some more on how to play please; I need help.

Sick show, dude. Hopefully this hasty, no-practice-and-travel-fatigue impression shows EG's sponsors that it's definitely worth the investment. You and Machine both have a great chance, and IdrA is, of course, already over there.

What I'm trying to say is: GET THE FUCK BACK OVER THERE SOON.
