지난 4월, IEG(International E-sports Group)에서 개최한 ‘스타크래프트 토너먼트 시즌1’ 북미지역 챔피언, 그렉 필즈 (Greg Fields; 아이디:Idra. 종족: 테란)가 CJ 엔투스 프로게임단에 합류하게 되었다.

Last April, Greg Fields (Id: Idra. Race: Terran), the North American winner of 'Starcraft Tournament Season One sponsored by IEG (International E-sports Group), joined up with CJ Entus Progaming Team.

최근 4개월여 ‘이스트로’ 프로게임단에서 연습생 활동을 지속해왔던 그렉 필즈는 미국 뉴저지 출신으로 올해 만 19세. 미국 고등학교 졸업 후 곧바로 한국으로 건너와 현재까지는 한국 선수들의 경기 스타일과 모국에는 접할 수 없었던 한국 프로게이머들의 문화 등을 직접 체험하는데 중점을 두고 생활했다.

Greg Fields, who has been 'Estro' Pro-Team practice partner for last four months, is from New Jersey, USA and is 19 years old. He came over to Korea as soon as he graduated from the high school and is now living and fully experiencing the culture of Progaming which is only available here in Korea.

과거, 문화적 차이, 언어 장벽 등을 이유로 한국 생활에 실패한 여타 해외 출신 프로게이머와는 달리 빠른 적응력을 보여온 그렉은 “CJ엔투스와 같은 명문 게임단에 입단할 수 있다는 것이 꿈만 같다. 주어진 기회를 놓치지 않고 최선을 다하여 최고의 선수가 되고 싶다”고 그 소감을 전했다.

With incredibly fast adapting, Greg, unlike any of his preceders who failed due to their past, cultural differences, language barrier... etc., claimed "It is an honor to be a part of such famous team like of CJ Entus. With this given opportunity, I'll make the best use of it and become the best."

이미 해외 스타크래프트 팬 커뮤니티 사이에서는 최고의 유망주로 기대 받고 있는 그이지만 아직 한국의 벽은 높기만 한 것이 사실이다. CJ 엔투스 조규남 감독은 “아직 CJ엔투스 2군 선수들의 기량에도 못 미칠 정도의 수준이나, 기본기가 탄탄하고 여타 해외 선수와는 다르게 성실한 연습태도와 정신력을 가졌기에 향후 높은 발전이 기대된다”고 밝혔다.

It is true, much faith is placed upon him among the leading foreign Starcraft Fan Communities. However, it is also true that the challenge(skill gap) given by Korea is just as big. CJ Entus Coach Jo Gyu Nam said in an interview, "his skill does not even reach that of our 2nd team players, yet he has a solid mechanic/basic and is highly determined and motivated. I put much hope that he will improve drastically."

지난 e스포츠의 역사에는 ‘기욤 패트리’, ‘베르뜨랑’과 같은 유명 해외 선수들이 한 축을 이루던 시절이 있었다. 단신의 몸으로 한국 메이저리그에서의 성공을 꿈꾸는 Greg의 행보에 귀추가 주목된다.

There once was a time in e-Sports when the foreign players such as Giyom and Elky played a huge role. And now watch out for Greg who is striving to be even more successful in Korea.


Thanks

Am I the only one to think he was way too arrogant in this interview?
Starting to show the true self to the public greg?
You might want to skip some "dumb" considerations about foreign players since you are not even in the top 15 outside korea.

I heard CJ has the toughest environment in terms of practising, followed close by Lecaf.. As in they hardly get any breaks or free-times and I don't thnk they have any 'soccer-exercise' times like Estro did.. Also, don't know if anyone in CJ speaks English.. In anycase, gl idra

A lot of the comments are saying "ONLY 19 years? hahahaha..."

Apparently they think Greg is too old to be starting as a progamer and they're probably right.

Most of the other comments are pretty nice, though, saying that they're looking forward to seeing how he does, how they hope he will do fine with CJ, etc.

i thought "only 19" would imply that he's young... "already 19" would sound more like he's too old.

'Old' age being a barrier is a myth.

Just compare it with different sports. In chess it's not a huge problem. Neither it is in formula one.

What about aging with really impede playing ability?

And 18 is damn young. It's not that he has to learn to play the game from scratch. You can't be any younger and be a foreigner in Korea.


Ooh, and I remember last time the comments were pretty negative. So they are milder and basically limited to the 'age myth'?

Idra is just as bm as MiStrZZZ, except not as funny by far.
Arrogance and dissing everyone and everything around you doesn't make you a cool kid.
I wish him good luck anyway, it would be cool to see a foreigner doing well in Korea.
