Draco is pretty good as far as foreigners are concerned, but that's totally false.

I thinks it's not about being dominant in foreign scene, it's more about the will and dedication to pass the harsh training in korea. If idra has the will (not to switch to poker), then he might do well.
I wish idra persistency!

Do your best!

also to note, which i made long posts about when talks of bringing foreigners to korea first started in 2007, is that nobody really knows how to scout foreigners for pro teams. of course the initial idea is "the current best foreigner player has best chance to succeed" but there are many many things that could make that wrong and many many other things to consider. idra has shown potential in his own way. the argument "idra has accomplished less than draco did prior to going to korea, so there is a great doubt that he'll do better than draco did in korea" is sooooo flimsy that it doesn't deserve a mention at all

I think Idra is more or less at the same level Draco was at when leaving for Korea but I have an uncanny feeling that he will do better

Edit: yeah, when is he going? Somebody has to know

Well the people who don't KNOW him personally can only judge him by what he has shown the community. And that is by far less than draco did.

I think it's less about skill or about performance, but more about willpower to push yourself to match and go beyond the Koreans. It's definitely true not everybody was made to be a progamer. But those who do show the potential by no means is the best. They have to push theirselves to the point where they are showing all that their potential is worth. Hopefully when eSTRO decided to recruit IdrA, they saw that potential. I pray for the best willpower to be bestowed in IdrA and hopes that he does well in Korea.

So in essence what I said means, it's not about who's the best foreigner, it's about who can handle the pressure the best and push themselves further. Without a doubt Pj and Lx were top foreign gamers, but after a year and a half, they were just starting to lack the willpower as did Draco.
Do your best, God will do the rest.
