Artosis why do you play with your food like that?

Nony wherever you are, I wish you better luck than that puppy.

the estro house is heated through the floor. the floor heat is ridiculously high. our room is an oven. nony discovered a way to regulate the room temperature. he would watch it throughout his day in the estro house, and we would sleep in the most amazingly temperature controlled room in korea.

now that he's gone, so is his dedication to correcting room temperature, and the secret of just how its done. now i wake up every morning dehydrated again.

i miss nony~ t.T!

really best to him, he did great here.



haha gosu temp control. Too bad Nony had to leave Korea. gl in the future nony

I think part of the problem for us is that we'd have liked to hear from Nony directly about the exact rationale for his leaving. I understand that it's personal, but you know, overall people feel like it's owed to them, even when it isn't.

I don't know why he left, but he definitely had a good reason to do it.

Overall I feel that everybody really put a lot of expectations on Nony that may have been unrealistic or unwarranted, and to feel "let down" that he decided not to continue in eSTRO is probably natural given the community's overall huge support of Nony. Still, as a community we need to be rational and realize that Nony is not obligated to become a progamer just for us. And yes, he did finish second at his first Courage, and he did say in interviews that he had the dedication to go pro and the dream to win an OSL, but you know, sometimes people change, sometimes things just aren't the way you thought it'd be, and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

I just hope his choice is one that he'll be able to look back on and be happy with. He seems like a smart guy so I trust that he made the right choice, must have been something pretty serious to make him do this.

In the end, hope everything works out for the best for Tyler.

that's his decision so i think he's right.
as he said, even he didn't improve by a huge amount, he's still the best foreigner of all time (or at least for me) so i wish him all the best in his future

hope he'll be back soon

Like a lot of others here, I'm just disappointed that Nony is leaving so "early." He made an amazing feat at his first courage, and he's shown he definitely has what it takes. I still have some hope that he will go back to eSTRO or another team.

At least Idra is already a progamer, ready to show Korea what non-Korean Starcraft players can do.

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 agree with all of the things you just said. So many people are bashing NonY on other SC sites, which is ridiculous. It sucks that NonY has to go back to the states, but what he has done in Korea was amazing.
He was there for a month and did well in an easy courage. That is not "amazing" whatsoever...

Oh you're so cool, aren't you
lol courage 2 ez

I had a lot of hopes for NonY, but I can see why he would have to return to USA.

Idra fighting! The undisputed #1 foreign TvZ player.

IMO the biggest reason proteam actively seek out younger player isn't because they are more skilled. Younger players have less life commitment so they don't have to worry as much about army, marriage, family, and/or long term career. Surprise no one mention that yet.

Now that NonY is out of Korea, I'm expecting NonY to return and dominate the foreigner scene (excluding Korea and China).

dude

where do you get off calling his courage 'easy'? You're calling it easy because he got to the final and he's a white guy. I know this because I am damn sure you know NOTHING about the players that were in nony's courage run and their respective skill levels. You have no idea how other foreigners would fare in the same tournament, you can't even see the games.

if you keep talking out of your ass, you're going to get banned. smarten the fuck up.

hmm, now that I think of it. Your prediction skills lead me to believe that you won a Liquibet season.

BoT, I don't really care if Nony stays or goes. I'm just curious what exactly 'personal reasons' are. Vague interview FTL.

okay let's examine your logic here chuck

you think he is good at predicting things, therefore assume he won a liquibet season

you agree with his prediction that nony will go pro at poker

you have never won a liquibet season



is there a disconnect here or is it just me

I don't know what NonY is going to do, but he's a cool guy and I'm pretty sure he would not leave Korea and his dream for nothing. I'm pretty sure he either has a bigger dream (maybe marrying his girlfriend :-) ?) or some problems. I can't and won't judge. I hope its not a bad news for him. Good luck to you Tyler. You are a great guy.

Nony , great job you set out to make it to korea and did so!

In what... a year and a half you climbed the entire non-korean scene, which although doesn't compare the korean scene ... is pretty fucking hard .... I mean come on how long have the same 3 guys ran it ....

You entertained me for hours with your tournament games. Thanks for all those hours of entertainment and I hope you got to make this choice and not life.

In your interview you said something to the effect of keeping your same skill. Please get A on iccup and make USA look pimp .
