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. Had to quote this in case someone missed it, worth repeating. Also thanks for the great work on State of the Game Geoff! | ||

I'm kind of sad that you didn't qualify but you did well. I was impressed to read that you managed to hold some of these crazy strats. I can tell you that PvP is one of the hardest matchups, especially when playing against aggressive koreans. As for The Zerg STREAM tactic, this works very well sometimes, I feel that trading units with the opponent is a very good way to keep the pressure. So all in all, gg because I think you fought very well. My advice would be to keep training harder and longer. That seems obvious but korean training style seemed to work wonders on the Liquid players who live with oGs. | ||

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. Awesome! And nice read. Sounds like a hell of an experience! gl going after your dreams | ||

However, between this post and the interviews between you and Artosis, you have shown you really are a good guy. I don't know if I would agree with you saying you are one of the top non-Koreans, but I would say you are one of the top Americans. I am now a fan and will be rooting for you in the future!

You've mentioned your growth through this short trip... What was the cause of that? You mentioned Idra as one of the reasons but do you think the Korean ladder is better suited to improve players? I'm asking this because there has been many individuals, that are not part of any team, who have gone out to Korea to 'train to become a pro-gamer'. Being such small names and likely not having pro-gamer connections do you think the atmosphere of Korea and the Korean ladder is enough to bring them to the level that they wish to achieve or could they accomplish the same thing at home with some persistence? | ||

I feel like my ability and potential in this game has doubled. I really do feel this trip was the best thing I could do for my future in SC2 and I don't regret a moment of this. I think this says it all, and really goes to show the value of practicing side by side with another pro, obvioulsy people talk over vent or chat in game, but to be there with the person takes it to another level. Heres to hoping that this blog or your thoughts transmit through the higher ups in EG to not just get the houes done sooner rather than later, but make that their prime focus, with the down time in major tournaments for many pro-games throughout the next couple months. EG has their chance here to show that they take care of their players and put them in the best possible situations around. I really want to see this work for the likes of all the EG players to hvae a korean pro-team style practice setting. | ||

1) Got to the final round 2) Faced a Zerg 3) On Scrap Station final map 4) It was Moon (?). Very impressive feat, there should be no regrets or shame in any of that. | ||
