It's silly to try to guess at Nony's motivations for going home when you don't know anything about the situation. Leaving early doesn't mean he didn't consider all the factors before he went, or that he somehow underestimated the commitment that would be needed. Shit happens, things change. Something may have come up that he couldn't have foreseen.

maybe it was planned to be a fun vacation time and nice experience for a month or two. How about that? But so many people started having expectations, put their progaming dream on that person and thought hes gonna represent foreign scene.

in case it was planned and college, girlfriend, life > progaming. Then why not let someone else go, a person who would stay and try.


Dude. Shit happens.


Anyways, best of luck to Nony and I hope to see him in the foreigner scene in the future.



It felt like gravity.

I pointed out one possibility, I'm sorry for doing so, excuse me. People overly excited about Nony who had expectations and shit could bear the fact he left Estro more lightly if they thought about this possibility.

Good job on getting angry about me hating Nony. Reread original post and notice how hostile it was!

you could possibly be a tranny posting from the bottom of the ocean. Who cares.

you basically implied that Nony deceived eStro and really didn't care about progaming, but rather wanted to go to korea for a vacation, and that they were better off picking someone else who "would actually try." that's as negative as it gets, far more hostile and insulting than the others simply flaming him, because they at least didn't question his intentions in the beginning or make it seem like he planned to quit all along.

here is another possibility: you are an idiot.

People hate on Idra, but he's the only one with the heart to stick with it. He may be abrasive, but he has my respect.

Now with Daniel Lee out of the picture and SC2's imminent release, I doubt we will see anymore foreigners going to Korea.

GL with whatever you'll do in your life, you seem like a really nice person. Personnally, the video where you went to the finals at Courage got me more excited than alot of OSL/MSL finals between pro-gamers.

It's your desicion but it's sad to see another foreigner leaving Korea :S

Nony can do whatever he wants to do, if he wants to go back because of some personal reasons then its his decision and we have no right to start negatively criticizing his actions. I will always cheer for him and I hope everything is all right with him, nothing too serious or so. Nony Fighting!!

He shouldn't have gone in the first place if he didn't plan on gutting it out. Just a spot taken from someone with passion.

obviously he didn't plan on leaving after a few months when he first went there, and theres no way to anticipate missing home, the practice conditions, etc without actually experiencing it.

He has a good life in the USA. I think it was easy to anticipate missing family, friends, girlfriends, sex, girls, good food. I just think he underestimated the commitment.

I'm confident there aren't more than 10 people playing StarCraft who have Nony's passion.
