I think he should be allowed to enter foreign tournaments, as they're prolly the only way he'll win money in tournaments. Lets face it, most don't believe he'll make it into an A-team squad.. and lord knows he won't be winning a starleague etc.. He's still technically a foreigner, so that should make him eligible. I don't really consider him that much different from any other foreigner, except the dedication that he's shown. Just because he's been in Korea, doesn't make him any different from us - he's just been under the extreme training regiment as that of the Koreans, like 12-14 hours a day of nothing but gaming. Everyone could reach the same level if they had the dedication.. Of course a lot of ppl have to worry about work/school/etc instead of being able to mass-game like that all the time.. Which might explain the gap in skill. But honestly.. who all has he stomped over? I know he recently beat Mondi.. Didn't F91 stomp him though? Best way to end the debate, put him in a showmatch w/ all the top foreigners of today. Best of 3 against white-ra ret draco incontrol arew etc.. and perhaps some chinese (although they're almost considered in a league of their own) Pj / Legend gL that list gave me cerebral lawsly me too. especially when it said arew after incontrol lawl | ||

In any case, I see no problem with Idra participating. While he is doing incredibly well (in foreigner events), I still do not think he has yet reached the point where no foreigner would be able to touch him. As long as that is the case, I think he deserves a place in foreigner events just like anyone else. Besides, his participation is mutually beneficial. Other foreigners get to play someone with Korean training, while Idra gets to play with people he can actually talk to. | ||

Answer is obvious, he should be allowed to particpate - hes not @ the level where he won't drop single game to foreigners, and even if he was - its not his fault others don't have the time and such means of training. But at the same times hes better than any other foreigner, at least considering his recent results - but that doesn't disqualify him, right? | ||

My point was that I thought he was so busy with practice and events in Korea that he would not be able to find the time to participate (especially in so many of them). | ||

a) All foreign players having to go pro (just to beat IdrA), thus leading to ESPORTS revolution b) The end of the foreign scene because IdrA just wins all of them (which is stupid and not likely to happen) | ||
