You act like having a low APM makes you a shitty player. Dinot is A- or higher with 180. And you seem to think that raising your APM will make him better mechanically or potentially i doubt this is true even in the slightest

And i doubt it would be Castro, they cant have someone cheese every game and except to get far :>

Check his EAPM (its not low for sure). APM means shit, EAPM = DA SHITT.

no korean team will take anyone with sub 200 apm, especially not a non protoss

it took alot of bitching to get them to compromise on the age thing, which is illogical in the first place. but you cant compete with koreans when theyre twice as fast as you. just not gonna work.

Umm, no, APM matters. I remember reading an interview some time ago mentioning almost exactly what Snare said. Teams essentially picked out players with high APM (i.e. raw talent) and then teach you how to play. To me, this makes a lot of sense. It's a physical limitation and it's not something you can teach easily.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

After 4 pages of speculation, do we know if this is real, or it's just an unconfirmed rumor?

unless Artosis is in the business of lying to the Starcraft community, it's real. What's not confirmed is whether the player has accepted or not.

Ascension Finals counts as a lie, doesn't it? lol

Not sure who will go, but JF would be a good pick, if he wanted to go.

g5 went.. not me. But as for non korean z's the only ones are suncow and i think razer might have been a zerg? But he was more "there" and less "went" I believe.. in fact it really is only suncow.

I couldnt remember who was the other Usa player within the past 2-3 yrs who went aside from me. I could have sworn it was you though. Totally messed up >_<;

Its an experience though. I pretty much wasted $1600 on airfare but it was still enjoyable for the time I was there. Im looking into going back later this year but for work instead, since I'll probably be stationed in Seoul at Osan Air-Force Base, then I just gotta find a way to sneak off on the weekends from the wife and baby girl
