This is nonetheless *awesome*. You flew to Korea. You played in the largest SC2 tournament in the world, missing the 64 by inches. Took down some of the top players in Korea on the ladder. Fucking amazing. And all the meanwhile you had hordes of iNcontroL fans spamming f5 in the GSL day1 thread --> "How did he do!!!??! This is killing me!!"

It's great to see you looking at this experience as nothing but positive. In my own gaming, tournament experience, although it is with chess, nothing substitutes playing the best or ones better than you. I've had some grueling defeats. But, the best games I've ever played and taken the most out of were not from wins, but from losses.

Also it's worth nothing: *OGS.INCA DIDN'T PASS QUALIFIERS LAST SEASON* right?

Good job. On can say you pulled a Nony (his first courage tournament, losing 1-2 in finals)
I am not good with quotes

<3 iNcontroL, keep doing work!

BTW, any plans of having some type of Starcraft 2 event in the Pacific Northwest? Whether that be Portland or Seattle, anything in the works? There's a big fan base up here, but every big event so far has been pretty far away, at least for a poor college kid like me.

Hard luck Fella.
I was hoping you would qualify and do well. But it seems nerves got the better of you and I dare say they would lesser mortals too.
Use this as a learning experience, (why do we fall Master Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up) (batman reference)
You have my utmost respect, (and I'm 44 and cynical and don't give respect randomly)
I am more than likely a bit of a fanboy but hey, I don't care lol

Keep plugging away mate, I'm sure you will do alot better next time.

Nice cheese ....GG!

I'm by a no means a hater, but I admit I've never really much cared about your play (however I do find you as an esports personality rather great) but I must admit I'm converted, not because I feel you did well (which I do feel) but because the the mental direction you appear to be taking.

I am also very excited for EG's SC2 team as a whole right, also very nice to see that you and IdrA APPEAR to be getting along quite well, that was one of my two concerns about him joining EG (I bet you can guess who the other is lol)

my point being is good show sir. =D

InControl, would be nice if you can stay longer in Korea until next GSL at least. But it seems that you have a lot of commitment & work back home.

Had to register just to show my support to InControl. Nice read, can't wait to see you roflstomp nerds in future tournaments.

Really love it that you flew to Korea to participate, would be cool if more foreigners did like you, Kiwi, Torch etc.

Damn I'm sure you could have won game 1 with a little bit of practice of that build. So close.


Don't you feel a little bit itchy seeing all your foreigner comrades fighting it out in Korea? =D
Maybe it's time for a comeback


In any case, thanks for the reply iNcontrol. You didn't reply the part about Huk directly but here is hoping that more foreigners qualify tomorrow and that you'll be back stronger.

I do think the sooner you come back the better because the gap might widen 3 months later with the rate of improvement that the Koreans ( and TL guys) are having especially with MLG ( that arguably has been the fueling the growth of NA SC2 scene) going off-season and that it will be very hard to play catch up.

I was also really sad hearing you missed it.
Sat in the thread F5ing and hoping to see you move from the RO8 Bracket to the qualified ppl. :/

As for protoss players I dunno. I am one of the last people to cry imbalance but I really feel we have it rough at the moment. Zerg can roach/ling aggression with standard macro (no risk to them) and then switch to muta or vice versa at no risk to them. P needs to detect either and respect it 100% or die. They of course can 5 gate all-in but who wants to admit that the standard is an all-in? Who wants a game where a race has to do that? I don't necessarily think it is THAT bad yet.. there is more to be developed but certainly atm it is really hard.


Seeing you only played PvP and PvZ my question might be a little off, still I hope you won't mind me asking. x]
You're writing you were getting the PvT on the korean server and seeing how european top level P's seem to struggle against 1basing T's lately (Thor-Rush, Rine/banshee, ...) I was wondering what you think is the best way to handle such pressure.
Driving me insane seeing them probes dancing around the auto-repaired Thor not doing anything, while the precious Immo goes down to the 250mm cannons.

Are you planing on attending the next qualifier or does that depend on the EG-house beeing up untill then? Really looking forward to see another foreign team taking the step over to Korea!

Gz for making it that far! Bet you' ll make it all the way next time. :D
