Why dont they want older people?

They want younger korean kids because they have more time to develop them, and if teens/early 20s is the "prime" for pro gaming then they will hit their peak when they are truly developed.

As far as foreigners we can't just apply the same logic. You can't really pack up a 14 year old US citizen and put him to work for 12 hours a day as a pro gamer in another country. You'd probably need to bring their parents.

Likely they want foreigners as close to 18 as possible. I think White Ra is like 28 years old so I doubt they would take him

The list of possibilities I were thinking:

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?

they like'em young though.
Youngest player i can think of that would go would be DinOt

i love how they are saying he will 'traveling to a large list of venues in the 2009 circuit' when there is virtually no notable events in korea except for the professional ones.

Yeah I think DinOt would actually be a really good choice for eSTRO (at least as good a choice as any foreigner can be).

I'd like to see cloud but it seems he's made his choice. I'd like to see JF, but he has no interest.

And White-Ra is like BoxeR's age. Brat and Strelok would be nice, but I still think DinOt seems like the best choice, if he has a passion to become a progamer that is.

I'd bet money on it being Fenix, Daniel Lee raved about him during Spirit plus he is young

edit: also younger players are less likely to have other commitments in life affect their training

Hm, do any of the Chinese players have a chance of being picked?

Dinot or JF please.
Or maybe Cloud ( but i think he is slighty older and so has less potential to improve ).

Brat_OK / Dreiven / Ra / Strelok are too old or have too much social skills to success here.
And Korean would ruin F-91 fun style -.- ( he is too old anyway ).

They shouln't send people with girlfriends to Korea ! ( wait maybe those i have named aren't single :O )
As Idra case proved we need young and brave nerds to face Korean training ! :D

fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Fenix or Dinot or Castro ... I doubt they'd choose Cloud, it's probably not a Chinese... Strelok + White-Ra are too old, and JF has 0 interest.

they would probably choose someone fluent in english, or else the language barrier might be too much.. though I do hope it's Dinot

Spontaneous guess would be DinOt. He is young and can still practice like mad, although the language barrier might even be bigger.
