Meanwhile we have the first brave foreigner terran who decided to dedicate his time and challenge koreans in their own environment. This is super exciting.

I dont just get why he goes for the koreans when he couldnt "dominate" the foreigner scene. I guess the foreigner scene wasnt worth the time nor enough of a challenge

Imagine you occasionally playing football matches with your mates in neighborhood. There are about 100 people in your area. And you know that there is another neighborhood 100 miles away with 10000 people which is very competitive. And you have opportunity to move there and hang with them and learn something new.
Would you go or stay in your neighborhood until you have 100% ball control ?

Didnt Nyoken already do this? And Idra? Even Artosis did it.
Gypsy is not the first. But it is a cool initiative for sure.

Korea is definutely the environment within which one can most likely grow the most. But I do think he will need a teacher. And he will need to learn more korean.

Idra is close one, but it was in times of different starcraft, so It doesn't count. Totally different game now. Nyoken and Artosis are commentators and retired from real competitive gaming long time ago.

Thats assuming youve already kinda outgrown your current playfield. Is that the case? His latest result was RO16 last place in BSL. Kinda hard to find more results since his liquipedia doesnt show much except for 1-2 tournaments a year.

Just switching into a more competitive pool of player might just result in drowning

From what you’re saying, I can tell that you don’t know what you’re talking about or just not thought hard on the subject. No offense.

Gypsy isn't stupid. It's more of a personal challenge. I am 100% certain he has no delusions with regards to competing consistently well against even the 3rd tier of Korean players (Mihu's level even tho not Kor).

Agreed. If you want to outgrow your competition, you don't stay in the environment you are competing in, you learn from the best and by competing against the best. Even if Gypsy is the worst competitive player in Korea (unlikely), he will grow faster in Korea provided he has the right mindset and connections. There are few people who can teach you how to be better than they ever were in a sport, that takes a different skill set. So, the most stable way is to compete and work with players much better than you and bridge the gap faster that way. At least in my opinion and experience across multiple disciplines.

To make a potentially shitty analogy, marathons have pace makers. The pace maker for a senior citizens event will move slower than a pace maker for a competitive qualifier marathon. If you want to start growing to a solid pace, you will want to train and measure yourself against the more difficult pace maker than the geriatric one. We already have evidence of this from aforementioned examples like Assem, IdrA (despite that one F91 series lmao), etc.

Also explains Artosis' success. Complete loser, awful player, ugly as shit, physically as well as mentally, only bigger losers are his twitch watchers/subs and his wife.
And God help his children.

But in our society, I'm the villain?
Lol.

I mean can't argue about some arguments, but attacking someone for his looks is pretty low. I think Artosis is pretty successful for a D/C rank player.
