FULL INTERVIEW

excerpt:

Artosis: What about the eSTRO team? Was it just too hard to deal with the Korean way and language barriers?

NonY: The eSTRO team was great. The Korean way was definitely difficult but it wasn't too difficult. I was getting better every day. And despite the language barrier, I could still accomplish the two most important things: discussing strategy and making friends. It's because the eSTRO team is full of great guys.


I can't believe i missed the shit tornado that was the original thread - it's been closed. Good Luck Tyler - if your gut tells you it's the right decision to make then you should go for it.

Say something nice, or at LEAST constructive you donkeys. I'm just not going to do anything for the next 3 weeks except watch this thread and ban as necessary.

Nony, it was great having someone to cheer for, too bad you have to (or want to) leave. We'd all love to have an explanation, but you're under no obligation to give it. Oh, and one very important question:

Do you have any replays to share from estro?

I respect NonY for giving it his best, sometimes I guess it doesn't work out.

Aw man, sorry to hear Nony. Hopefully you have good luck in whatever the future holds for ya.

Though, it would be nice to have a reason for it. Not necessary, just nice.

Wow, those angry Germans were entertaining, I immigrated to Canada at the age of 2 so I have European parents and culture, but boxerfan, if you are arguing with a person you don't know because of something he said about European gamers then you must be very insecure about your country and your heritage. stop saying random irrelevent things and
talking
like
this.
As for NonY, He has Duke, a girlfriend, and a family in America, it's perfectly normal for him to go back and live his life without so many constraints as it would have in Korea. I can't stand when people feel let down by someone who owes them nothing. Good Luck NonY in whatever you pursue, I'm sure that you have enough dedication and intelligence to succeed in whatever you attempt.

edit: wow im lost, new thread!

I think in some ways Nony was also living the TL dream of seeing a foreigner play in Korea. Thats why everyone is so disappointed.

Anyways GL to Nony.

Go Idra, you're our only hope now.

Well, some sad news, but at least NoNy is getting some experience that no much SC players have, and sure will get profit of it in the nearly future

See ya around Tyler

This is incredibly disappointing news.

I think its safe to say that this decision is not due to a lack of work ethic or a lack of skill. Nony's training regiment before joining eStro was impressive. It was self-evident at the US finals for the World Cyber Games.

Taking second at courage on the first run out is also astounding. I know that you don't feel like your skill drastically improved nony, but that's an incredible accomplishment for such a short time in korea.

I believe that the lack of esports in the US which necessitated the return in the first place is the true tragedy behind this event.

Ultimately this just inspires me to push for the continued advancement of esports so that distance from home combined with "personal problems" doesn't lead to the exit from the professional scene for those with great potential.

I hope things work out so that you can return soon nony.

A sad day for foreign scene, but it's his life, and with staying in korea, he prolly loses more important stuff in US that matters more in the rest of his life. And guess he realized that life is more than playing everyday to try surpass players that are more experienced and do exactly the same as you. Will take time. But why go to korea, if you change your mind so quick? :o
