so why can't we send Sziky to korea for 3-5 months?
who's "we" are you going to pay for it? --- This is awesome to hear! Sonic is great. We can start a kickstarter campaign and say sziky is a feminist with the belief that all gamers should be equal, and that he should have an equal opportunity to play starcraft brood war in korea like all other girls, while oppressing men.
where do i throw my money?

realistically, who would REALLY want to go to Korea for half a year or longer, even if, hypothetically, Sonic would provide flights, housing and lodging? All top players in this community work pretty ordinary jobs and can't just throw them in the dirt for half a year Korea. Scan could participatem, if he were to be in Korea in the given timeframe, but i already heard him say he won't be in the ICC skype group. If Sziky/Eon would be 100% positive to do it, we could try to set something up with Sonic. No big chance for success, but worth a try at least.

We gotta get Szisky to Korea, I wish there could be more direct involvement with foreigners in this ! What a dream come true ! Sonic Pro House!

Awesome! Hope this gets young players practicing on Fish.

They should erect a statue of this guy in Korea or something

Can we send Sziky to Korea?
And wow again and again Sonic prove to be god among mortals.

Sonic should be part of the KESPA board of directors

Sonic is better than that

Well he is, but KESPA the de-facto official representative so we can't change that.

Welcome back Stratos! Haven't seen you physically (or virtually in this case) make a thread in ages!
Also this is a very interesting idea. I remember long ago, OGN did something similar where they set up an amateur OSL type thing and winner gets to be on qualifiers for one of their OSL. They had episodes/filming of these amateur where they would eventually reside in pro-teams for a very short time to buff them before having their own finals against each other.
But I believe this takes one step further.

Let's send Sziky over so he can perform mediocre in the Korean BW scene and then switch over to poker full time.

lets form a donation community thingy for sziky travelling to korea.

Wasn't around back then, but didn't Jaehoon become pro by winning something like this?

I'm not sure but you might be referring to the Courage tournament, which was one of the main channels for an amateur to obtain a pro license.

It's so awesome that he supports all StarCraft, not just BW or SC2. Do you think it is a possibility somewhere in the future that KeSPA picks up BW again and runs leagues for both games?
As long as OGN continues to support Sonic like they are doing now, I'd rather not have KeSPA anywhere near Broodwar. KeSPA didn't make Broodwar what it was, OGN and MBC did. Of course they had people sat on the KeSPA board, but it was their tournaments that made BW great and more importantly the players.
KeSPA and their ridiculous rules (lol GoRush being dq'd for accidentally typing a in game) can stay the heck away. They add nothing to it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/93222-spoilers-the-kespa-saga-osl-c-group. Don't even get me started on KeSPA's ruling on the 2009 Nate MSL finals after the powercut. Three hours to make a decision, the wrong one :/
