yep. you all knew it was coming.

oops, scforall still has some hole in it goddamnit all. i'll let u know when its fixed.
EDIT: its fixed again, it was clean when i posted this, became infected sometime last night. sit tight nerds.

excerpt:

Artosis - When did you start thinking about going to Korea for Starcraft, and
what finally made you decide to take the leap?

Ret - I’ve always wanted to be a pro gamer for Starcraft, and go to Korea.
When I was younger, perhaps the more appropriate age, there were less
foreigners in Korea and contacting pro teams managers was a lot harder
than now. I had never expected that I would still get the chance to go
to Korea, but when the opportunity arose I realized that it was still
my dream and that I wanted to give it my best shot.

Artosis - What are your goals in going to Korea? How long do you intend to stay?

Ret - The immediate goal for Starcraft would be to win the courage
tournament and then perhaps play a Pro League match. But we’ll have to
see what happens when SC2 comes out and how that changes things. I
really don’t know how long I’ll stay, but I intend to stay in
pro gaming for SC2, so it could be a long time.

Artosis - Winning the courage tournament is something that only 1 foreigner
has ever done before (Assem), even though NonY came very close, losing
the finals 1-2 on his first try. Supposedly they have even made it a
much harder tournament now. What time frame do you think you can win
this event in?

Ret - I think my ZvZ will be the only problem with winning Courage. So if
I can get that matchup up to par quickly, I should be a pretty strong
contender. If that happens reasonably quick, I think I could possibly
win it on my first try. But of course to win any tournament with a
strong field of players, you’ll also need some luck.

XD

He will do amazingly well. Nada isn't what he used to be but he is still used in proleague / etc.. he was taken down in a solid straight up game on a balanced ish map. Ret in the korean climate could be the foreigners first real big name over there since leg.

No disrespect to greg.. he had done great things too I just think ret ON estro with what he has can do some more glamorous things.

Ret on estro should be interesting. ZvZ seems like the matchup which is going to be the easiest to improve rapidly, as long as he practices it constantly. (Considering that it's typically 1/4-1/2 as long as the other matchups). Congrats to Ret, he seems like he is genuinely going to be able to do something there.

Proud to say that I was a huge ret fan even before he started streaming and owning. Never missed one of his replays. I did TvZ because he did it, and now that he's switched to ZvZ, I've manned up and done the same; in other words, ret is my hero. Show those koreans who's boss. GO RETJE!

iirc, it was a 256 man tournament with 4 or 8 spots (4 i think), harder is arbitrary as we don't know who he played or how well they played vs him on that day.

No i mean harder as in format.

If i remember correctly old courage was every 3 months or so, now it's everyone month right?

For a foreigner it means they have to stay longer for each run at courage. Also those pro-team licenses weren't there for teams to assign (I'm assuming they still are).

If you can tell me how it is nowadays i would appreciate it, since the new things I know i got from your videos :p

courage isn't quite every month, it has months off due to things like the rookie drafts. i think there is 9 or 10 courages a year but i never counted.

ill be doing a ton of courage coverage coming up. i heard that they recently made it about 100x harder than the one from the nony coverage video, but im unsure of the exact changes to the new format. unless courage this month overlaps with IEF, i'll make a video at it.

It seems like it is for sure from the interview and the fact that the announcement is being made.

However, he is probably referencing this line:

he heads to Korea to try out for the eSTRO pro team.


Try out for e-stro? Does that mean he can be rejected?

Didn't estro stonewall idra? That's a red flag. If he's trying out for estro, that means neither side has made a commitment. If CJ entus is willing to have a foreigner, why not try out for a team whose number 1 zerg takes english lessons in the mornings?

I mean, ret learned from a korean who tried and failed to win courage, and apparently
Ret - I think my ZvZ will be the only problem with winning Courage.
he thinks he has surpassed him. If he learned from Oz's number 1 zerg...?

WOO! Another nerd to Korea! <3 congrats, ret, and no worries, I think like 99% of Koreans smoke so you'll be ok on that end. Cigs are like $2.50 a pack here too. Hooray lung cancer!

Great interview as always Dan. Looking forward to hours of footage from ret's Courage and Progaming journey! Make him wear clogs.

I really hope he doesn't get too many ZvZ sets at Courage. With any luck all the best Z players have gone through off the recent zerg dominance and only the wimpy Protoss are left.

Also, he is now the second progamer to confirm that he will be playing SC2 competitively as well. Keep it up!

Fuck yes, congrats ret! Very exciting news.

A question for artosis/ret -- What is meant by "try out" for eSTRO? Is ret trying out eSTRO or is eSTRO trying out ret?

Also, does this mean no more stream? People are assuming that you wouldn't, but I don't see why you couldn't still stream your iccup games.

When he gets all famous, I can brag to everyone on here about how Ret once read something I wrote in his livestream chat!!!1!1

Lolz, seriously though, go kick some serious ass in Courage Ret, even if they won't let you stream any more, ALL 10 billion of us here at TL will follow your journey with avid interest. At the very least make some threads here about your tourneys and travels!

Great news! I wish him luck, but more importantly, the drive to endure monster practice sessions, close quarters, and the language barrier.

Kick ass, ret.

Use that link to learn how to manually remove the malware that scforall installed on your computer or else run an updated scan from a good removal tool.

I like SCforAll, but we should all avoid it until they actually make a decent effort to fix it instead of "lawl, it's gud nao cum get sum viruz" in the name of self-promotion.

yep. you all knew it was coming.


excerpt:

Artosis - When did you start thinking about going to Korea for Starcraft, and
what finally made you decide to take the leap?

Ret - I’ve always wanted to be a pro gamer for Starcraft, and go to Korea.
When I was younger, perhaps the more appropriate age, there were less
foreigners in Korea and contacting pro teams managers was a lot harder
than now. I had never expected that I would still get the chance to go
to Korea, but when the opportunity arose I realized that it was still
my dream and that I wanted to give it my best shot.

Artosis - What are your goals in going to Korea? How long do you intend to stay?

Ret - The immediate goal for Starcraft would be to win the courage
tournament and then perhaps play a Pro League match. But we’ll have to
see what happens when SC2 comes out and how that changes things. I
really don’t know how long I’ll stay, but I intend to stay in
pro gaming for SC2, so it could be a long time.

Artosis - Winning the courage tournament is something that only 1 foreigner
has ever done before (Assem), even though NonY came very close, losing
the finals 1-2 on his first try. Supposedly they have even made it a
much harder tournament now. What time frame do you think you can win
this event in?

Ret - I think my ZvZ will be the only problem with winning Courage. So if
I can get that matchup up to par quickly, I should be a pretty strong
contender. If that happens reasonably quick, I think I could possibly
win it on my first try. But of course to win any tournament with a
strong field of players, you’ll also need some luck.

scforall is fixed now, dun worry 'bout dat.


DISCUSS.


Do. Not. Link to sites with malware.

Use pastebin if you need to, just don't force us to go to your horrible infectious site if we want to read this interview. And whatever you do,

DO NOT lie about the site being okay. It's not. Just say something like "Hi I'm sorry but we can't program a secure site, so please don't visit it" instead of trying to save face and then ending up infecting the computers of thousands of people. how is it fixed if I get a "install flash player blah blah now!" when I visit it? Read some books about secure programming or something, it just is ridiculous if my father can program a more secure website in his spare time than something as big as that.

Ret: GL! I'm sure you'll accomplish more in Korea after just a month than Idra has in like 50 years.

Artosis - What are your goals in going to Korea? How long do you intend to stay?

Ret - The immediate goal for Starcraft would be to win the courage
tournament and then perhaps play a Pro League match. But we’ll have to
see what happens when SC2 comes out and how that changes things. I
really don’t know how long I’ll stay, but I intend to stay in
pro gaming for SC2, so it could be a long time.

Artosis - Winning the courage tournament is something that only 1 foreigner
has ever done before (Assem), even though NonY came very close, losing
the finals 1-2 on his first try. Supposedly they have even made it a
much harder tournament now. What time frame do you think you can win
this event in?

Ret - I think my ZvZ will be the only problem with winning Courage. So if
I can get that matchup up to par quickly, I should be a pretty strong
contender. If that happens reasonably quick, I think I could possibly
win it on my first try. But of course to win any tournament with a
strong field of players, you’ll also need some luck.

scforall is fixed now, dun worry 'bout dat.


DISCUSS.


Do. Not. Link to sites with malware.

Use pastebin if you need to, just don't force us to go to your horrible infectious site if we want to read this interview. And whatever you do,

DO NOT lie about the site being okay. It's not. Just say something like "Hi I'm sorry but we can't program a secure site, so please don't visit it" instead of trying to save face and then ending up infecting the computers of thousands of people. how is it fixed if I get a "install flash player blah blah now!" when I visit it? Read some books about secure programming or something, it just is ridiculous if my father can program a more secure website in his spare time than something as big as that.

Ret: GL! I'm sure you'll accomplish more in Korea after just a month than Idra has in like 50 years.


I totally agree, dont be so irresponsible and link to an insecure site...

Well, since so many people are having trouble visiting the site I'll copy and paste it into here, if you have a problem with this artosis feel free to let me know.

+ Show Spoiler +
One of everyone’s most favorite non-Korean players takes a big step as he heads to Korea to try out for the eSTRO pro team.

Artosis conducted an interview with Ret, and asked him some serious questions on why he is making this big life changing choice.

Artosis - When did you start thinking about going to Korea for Starcraft, and
what finally made you decide to take the leap?

Ret - I’ve always wanted to be a pro gamer for Starcraft, and go to Korea.
When I was younger, perhaps the more appropriate age, there were less
foreigners in Korea and contacting pro teams managers was a lot harder
than now. I had never expected that I would still get the chance to go
to Korea, but when the opportunity arose I realized that it was still
my dream and that I wanted to give it my best shot.

Artosis - What are your goals in going to Korea? How long do you intend to stay?

Ret - The immediate goal for Starcraft would be to win the courage
tournament and then perhaps play a Pro League match. But we’ll have to
see what happens when SC2 comes out and how that changes things. I
really don’t know how long I’ll stay, but I intend to stay in
pro gaming for SC2, so it could be a long time.

Artosis - Winning the courage tournament is something that only 1 foreigner
has ever done before (Assem), even though NonY came very close, losing
the finals 1-2 on his first try. Supposedly they have even made it a
much harder tournament now. What time frame do you think you can win
this event in?

Ret - I think my ZvZ will be the only problem with winning Courage. So if
I can get that matchup up to par quickly, I should be a pretty strong
contender. If that happens reasonably quick, I think I could possibly
win it on my first try. But of course to win any tournament with a
strong field of players, you’ll also need some luck.

Artosis - Dropping out of school to move to Korea and become a professional
video game player is a big change in your life. How has your family
and friends reacted?

Ret - Surprisingly enough, they have been very supportive. I am about 2
years from finishing my degree and could always return to it. But my
parents and friends think it’s going to be a great experience for me, and
they also know that my real passion lies with pro gaming and not with
business, so I can make a career out of it they are very excited for
me. Everyone’s supportive and many have said they will come visit me
at some point. So it’s great.

Artosis - What challenges do you think you will face upon moving to Korea and
playing Starcraft all day?

Ret - Playing Starcraft all day shouldn’t be a problem, I love the game.
It might be hard to give up a lot of privacy and freedom I had here in
The Netherlands, sharing rooms with multiple people much younger than
myself might prove difficult after time. It’s the only thing that
really worries me, I need my alone time sometimes. Also I worry if I
will have people I can really talk to, but I have already spoken to
eSTRO manager ( Hwanni ) and his English is very good so that’s nice.
And of course I’ll be able to hang out with the people already in
Korea, it’s a definitely a plus there’s already a big foreign group in
Korea right now so I won’t feel completely alone.

Artosis - What most excites you about this new change in your life?

Ret - Well like I said being a pro gamer has been a dream for a long time.
I look forward to competing in Starcraft and trying to be the best I
can be. I also look forward to experiencing Korean culture and Seoul
as much as possible. And of course hanging out with the other
foreigners in Korea should be a lot of fun. Also, I can’t wait to beat
IdrA in every foreign tournament he ever participates in once I will
be able to practice as much as he has (WINK).


Artosis - Well, you’re off to Korea on the 16th of October, and I’m sure I
speak for everyone when I say GL HF~~
Any shout outs?

Ret - Shout out to all my friends, family for being supportive, all the
American gamers I hang out with on vent every day, my teammates in ESC
and my teammates in ToT for making SC a fun place to be, and Artosis
for being a friend and helping me a lot with this ’career move.’
Cheers!

Isn't this almost as big of an offense as openly spreading malware and viruses? A ban for spreading viruses and malware wouldn't be out of order, in my opinion. Especially if you say it's safe. Artosis or not, if I was a mod you'd be banned already.

That's reasonable if you assume that he knew the site was still broken. I don't think he did, especially since I don't think the site was infected early this morning.

Why don't you guys just disable and remove all the stupid AV software? Problem solved.

Right now scforall requests a file from http://xapsearch.com/counter/, but nothing comes back. This is still somewhat shady especially since I don't think it's wanted behaviour (PMd Artosis about it) but not harmful at the moment.

No.

I had to scan twice, once in SM, then system restore because it was messing with some proxy server thing.

It was harmful.

Why all the flip flopping on the issue?

The site has malware, and there is other links to the exact same interview on safe sites.

Why not remove the link? Is it seriously that difficult?

I did unlink the link and added a message saying COPY AND PASTE AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you're on a machine which isn't affected by the malware or you're as confident in your own immunity to viruses as zatic is ( ) then it's your choice in my opinion. I personally recommend against it though ^^ To discuss the virus situation of scforall go to the SCForAll virus thread please !

This is great! I'm not even upset your stream is going down... you promised televised games, right?

Best of luck!

Awesome, I always thought that Starcaft Proleague would benefit much - and be more interesting - from "globalization". (Watching Giyom when I was young was always fun.) With your skill, I think you have a great chance of beating Courage tournament.

Good luck! :D

It's already hangulised for his full name as 죠셉 드 크룬 (Joseph de Kroon)

Probably for TV sakes, it will be shortened to just 죠셉.

I really like the idea of having both IdrA/ret in Korea constantly pushing each other to perform better, it dramatically increases the chances of one of them breaking through imo.

fortunately you're not a tl mod

but i am!

this is changed to a warning because you posted a news article like... today.

two days was the original ban duration because of your tenure and contribution, it woulda been two weeks minimum for anyone else, and probably permanent for someone new. i'm very very very very mad at you shikyo

This is great. I can't wait for (Z)(nl)Ret to become (Z)Ret....!

But, can someone explain to me exactly how this works though? ret is ON eSTRO now, yes? Does he stay with them and practice with them? What is courage, and what is the significance of winning it?

I think it's really hard for a foreigner to make it to T1. They have some pretty ridiculous restrictions with respect to APMs. IIRC it was at least 250 for protoss and 300 for terran and zerg or something, and you don't get food if you can't reach it.

So technically Stork and Savior would die of starvation if they were on SKT1. :p

gl in korea ret, I remember a while back when you were coming back to sc from your break and I got to play a few PvZs with you, and got horribly pwned, to help you in your preparation for playing Nony I think it was.

We'll see if ret has the determination to train like a korean. I mean, training as a top foreigner is one thing but to compete in the korean scene is STILL on another level. IdrA has this determination. I think if ret can practice and does everything properly he can go very very far. A proleague appearence will be too easy of a goal!

Hopefully he can earn second zerg spot after hyvaa. The other zergs in estro aren't nothing special, and seems like Haran might be his only obstacle to be the teams alternative zerg.

i can't believe it was suggested that artosis gets banned from team liquid hahaha. An enthusiastic link for foreigners to Korea, not to mention smart and helpful to the site.

Besides that, why is ret learning zvz? is tvz is gosu, is it like not legal to swich races? anyways i think ret is going to be the Grr of sc2, and white men (well non korean men/women really) will feel less doomed vs koreans while gaming with him as our morale booster.

ret being the Grrrr... of SC 2 would mean him being the first true and real legend of the game and I somewhat doubt it..

Before Boxer came there was no one [standing out] except Grrrr... he is on of the all time greatest..

I doubt ret can achieve that..

But I hope the best for him and especially hope he doesnt lose the drive..

It's to bad there's no more gomtv classic, so ret can't show his skill in televised games.

respek for the idra respect! idra's impressive in a different way, he learned so fast and plays so korean like. he just has some srs gamer rage and should maybe stop saying things "take no skill" because at the pro gamer level it should not be about being impressive it should be about winning.

To be fair, Assem was a progamer a long time ago, so you cannot just assume everyone is going to know him. If we were talking about the Korean scene, it would be the same as if he asked who is (Z)Freemura or (T)Sync or even (Z)H.O.T-Forever. Plus, since most foreigners did not achieve much in Korea, they are even less memorable then their Korean counterparts.

It sure would be interesting to have some insight to WHY there is going to be a gomtv4. All I've heard is it simply isn't happening :\

Kespa vs Blizzard. In the fight for starcraft broadcasting.
Kespa rules pro league, says which teams can play in osl msl Gomtv.
They say no no, no go Gomtv when Blizzard becomes the main sponsor for it.

Again Good luck Ret, make us proud!
And Artosis u know u've got to make courage videos, but keep more than that coming.

Looking forward to this season with or without Gom

It's already hangulised for his full name as 죠셉 드 크룬 (Joseph de Kroon)

Probably for TV sakes, it will be shortened to just 죠셉.

It is always pronounced 요셉 in Korean, I don't know why ret's name is different since it's also pronounced that way in Dutch, I believe?

The results of all (at least I think this is all of them) the series he played were:

(Z)hwata[saM] 2-0 (Z)Ret
(P)KT.MGW)Grape 1-2 (Z)Ret
(P)Say[Join] 2-1 (Z)Ret
(T)If.Classic 2-0 (Z)Ret

He's got his work cut out for him, hope to see him climbing the ranks soon though. Hard to imagine a much more competitive environment than playing SC in Korea.

I really have a feeling that ret can make it to the A team. Estro's only noteworthy zerg is hyvaa, so the odd proleague appearance here and there might be possible. I sure do hope so.

What the fuck is this based on? Your imagination?

Beating 1 b-teamer does not imply that he is a team material, You don't know what does, i don't, 99% of the people who post on teamliquid have any clue on what does.

This means that instead of every video featuring Idra and Tasteless it will feature Idra, Tasteless, and ret.

Good Luck ret.

Well he played pretty straight up games (at least the ones i saw) and did reasonably well, a least I think that he is at B-level right now. I really think that there is a shot that we will se him in a proleague-game, especially like this comming spring when estro already is out of the final play-offs and they let many of their B-teamers go out and get a game.

He would have gotten it eventually even if he didnt pass a courage, which would be highly unlikely given his first performance.

eSTRO can give him a license. IdrA got his that way. My guess based on what we saw for Nony and IdrA would be that they'll let him take a few shots at Courage to see if he can get it on his own, and if he doesn't make it through one they'll give it to him.

Yeah that sounds about right. So there´s 10 courages/year (right?), and lets speculate that he has to participate in 2 of them before he gets a license from eSTRO (of if he actually wins one which i doubt due to his supposed lack of zvz-skill) - it pretty much blends down to if he will be able to participate in GOM for me or not...Which would be totally bad-ass!

Each proteam only has 2 free licences every season to give out, you really have to be worth it to give them out. And if you can't pass courage, are you really worth it? IdrA got his free 'cause he was getting traded to CJ, not 'cause they just wanted to give him a licence.

And no, Idra didn't win a courage tournament as far as I know.

Correct... Daniel Lee was allowed to give 1 player a pro license so he gave it to IdrA then IdrA was immediately was picked up by CJ Entus. As far as we know IdrA lost all of his courages

is it only 1 player that gets a pro license? i had this idea that nearly all progamers were given that exempt status, as it is is so prohibitively difficult to win a courage tournament these days

Correct... Daniel Lee was allowed to give 1 player a pro license so he gave it to IdrA then IdrA was immediately was picked up by CJ Entus. As far as we know IdrA lost all of his courages


The team was allowed two during that period in question, one was given to Greg and one to (P)GosI[Flying]


yeah , wondering which one was the better choice ...

Y'know what's really funny is that the person they gave the license too was (Z)Season, who is now retired. So yeah, it was pretty clear who was the better choice.

Ah now I remember. I think the deal was he'd get the license if he went >50% winrate in the in-house tournament, which he accomplished.

Looking foward to see how ret goes under the pressure of Korea - he seems to have really taken off as a player since I last stopped following the foreigner scene. Best of luck to him.

This is kind of off topic but does anybody remember a video of Artosis and Tasteless maybe 4-5 months ago where at the very end Tasteless mentioned that ________ was coming to Korea and Artosis ninja edited it because it was confidential.

Anyways, is this is what he said? Ret is coming to Korea?

Probably. Anyways, thanks Nony for the little update.

In that case I find it a bit strange how late ret decided to switch from tvz to zvz.

Yeah, nevergg should make a ret fighting support collage or something like that. And of course a photo shoot asap in uniform. Maybe a double shoot JulyZerg/ret.

um why july? he's on stx lol


Because they're both fat. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out this kind of humor. :/


is that humor nowadays?? weird germans...


This was supposed to be humorous, but as it only did spread confusion, i felt obligated to clear thing up.

I honestly think July and ret would make a great photoshoot together. And JulyZerg is freaking awesome, could teach ret a couple of tricks, so what's wrong with that?

I think there will be a few months before you see the benefits of the "pro" practice schedule and you begin to understand how good you can really be. Best of luck and keep us updated!
