I didn't think this really deserved a new thread in BW, but Artosis said in his weekly show that another foreigner has been invited to eSTRO. It's probably Cloud, but does anyone have any other ideas of who it might be? Of course, if you know for a fact who it is, feel free to post that too

You know, on second thought, it's probably + Show Spoiler +

I would expect them to pick up a younger player again, seeing that Nony also left because of having better alternatives available. + Show Spoiler +
lets not discuss the meaning of 'better' here, but he obviously had, and it IS related to his age to some extent


Younger players have more time to live the dream and less alternatives.

I'd like to see White-Ra or Strelok go. I'm not sure how good they are from an eSTRO coach perspective, but they seem to be tearing shit up left and right for the past year.

On second thought, JF would be the best choice of all, I'd say.

Why would it be Cloud, I remember him saying he was going to leave competitive BW.
JF isn't interested/starting at Waterloo soon.
Strelok/White-Ra seem to be too old (?) plus language barrier of English also being their second language.

I was just thinking about this.

The list of possibilities I were thinking:

Strelok - Third in WCG right? Seems to be playing pretty well all over the place too.
IefNaij - JF is definitely good but too young isn't he?
F91 - F91 is playing pretty well right now.
Cloud - Inactive isn't he? I don't think its him.
Mondragon - I doubt Mondragon would be interested in this.
White-Ra - I think from a korean perspective White-Ra is too old to be picked

These are just the players off the top of my head that I would consider "good enough". Im sure I've forgotten people though.

I'll say they chose F91.

edit: gtr brought up language barrier. i don't know if f91 speaks english so probably not.

WAIT what if it's artosis himself?

cloud is apparently out of shape, doubt its white-ra he is too old, strelok is a possibility but I dont think they like foreign terran style plus he is kinda old, haven't payed much attention to JF in years but going off what he told me when I knew him I highly doubt he would want to go to korea.

I honestly cant think of any good applicants to go to korea at the moment, but apparently eSTRO knows better.

If I had to guess? It's another young american player. bryce in korea?

It's hard for me to think of anyone else really... Not as much due to skill but also due to language barrier/other things in life.

Maybe it's some kid from some unknown country who has 1 PC game, StarCraft, and like Indian mathematicians of old he trained himself to be the most gosu player ever because he has been playing since the age of 3.
Peace~

I really hope its a chinese player they really havent gotten a shot yet which is a shame because some of them are really good

but i guess they might want a white/black player and not an asian one :\

Actually Lx and Pj were invited to SKT1 and were progamers for a short period of time. I believe they left because of language barrier and because of the fact that a proscene was starting to pick up in China as well.

Why dont they want older people?
Terran in particular is a notoriously strong race for a no brain skillhand bot style.
