Thanks for the stats, JWD! I didn't want to say he was already owning everyone without factual evidence, and there it is.

It's true that he's not an amateur, but he is still a guy who doesn't speak korean, has only been pro for a year or two, and basically is another attempt by a foreigner to practice and eventually perform like a korean professional, all of the other recent such attempts having set precident for failure.

Another thing is, even if you do want to say that he's 'not a foreigner' simply because he's living in korea and has been drafted by a proteam, you're still not even saying much. I'm not sure that b-teamers are even really in another class than the top amateur non-koreans.

It's going to take alot more work yet before he is more than just a b-teamer, and truly above the other top foreigners.

He should still play in these tournaments. All the others who went to train in Korea also played in these tournies. It would be unfair for Idra if he is banned. gogogo Idra fighting

I don't think those tourneys allow pro gamers. Pro gamers have their own tourneys, OSL etc, which IdrA has played in and lost terribly.

Idra should play in the tournaments until his skill rises to that of a korean progamer. Right now he's bottom of B-team level which isn't a terribly large gap from the best foreign players as shown by the numerous matches he's lost to them.

By normal sport definitions anyone who is being paid is technically professional or semi-professional at least.
That would disqualify many foreigners so of course you can't make silly rules like that.

I think that official segregation of 'foreigners' and Koreans is a bad idea. The two communities are worlds apart already and all efforts should be made to bridge them IMO.

This is easier said than done, of course, but I think that even if there were one or two more foreign players on teams in Korea, the community as a whole would benefit.

But then, what do I know?

I vote yes ofcourse.
Idra is from usa, he plays bw, so why not?
Also he is a B-teamer so he doesn't show on proleague.
And who wouldn't want to see such high level Terran play from a foreigner?
Draco has been in korea too, same as nony. They shouldn't be able to compete in feroign tournament as well then.

The progamers have their own tourneys (OSL, MSL and PL) and Idra is a "progamer" or at least he wants to be a progamer and therfore he should not play in foreigner tourneys.

No. It is a different. Nony and Draco were in Korea. Idra is in Korea.

hes a b but plays like an A, hes like the best player ive seen on iccup, hes crazy good etc etc
Loda talked about the fun counter, it's AdmiralBulldog on his natures prophet
