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. Very true. I think that's the most important thing. A low-skilled player would very very quickly surpass a higher skilled player once they're both in the training environment of a pro team, so long as the low-skilled player keeps his chin up and his focus strong for 10 hours every day and the high skilled player gets frustrated and loses motivation. | ||

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. I fully agree. I mean they could take someone low in the top 200 foreigners, and make him top 10 in a couple of months with the training they have in korea, if he's talented. So talent and devotion are way more valuable than current skill level. The question is: when he arrives in korea, will he not get bored by losing 90% of the time day in day out for an entire year. Only the most motivated persons get through that stage without getting sick of BW. And yeah ofcourse he also lacks alot of social contact in korea, but judging by uh.. a few things.. he already lacked it in the US | ||

I must say Idra seems the most commited and reasonable of any gamer I've seen recently. He has admitted himself that he may have no chance of making it, but even then hes willing to go and try. This is a situation that hasn't really happened before. All the other gamers already had high hopes going into it. As someone mentioned with draco, this lead to them becomming demotivated really quickly. | ||

I mean dont get me wrong im excited for idra and the prospect of foriegners actually being able to be taken seriously but I do not believe Idra is our savior.... He is in top five foriegners probally however, draco when he went was more active, had way higher apm(which i dont care what you say, will make a difference in korea), and was the top player outside of korea. I just think people are naieve to think draco who played tons with koreans, almost stricktly koreans, who was insanely familiar with their play and styles, was not better prepared for korea. He was not very active at all in xlo besides a few tourneys here and there, however, was playing jpod and vs many koreans non stop. Now I am not sure but i am under the impression that idra trains mostly with usa a members. please feel free to correct me if i am wrong agreed. draco/pj, and idk who else > idra, yes, they quit the korean scene but man, theyre great. | ||
