Playing Starcraft well is only one reason why a foreigner would be invited to Korea. Showing a sense of dedication and hard work is important, too. That's why each member of the top 16 was asked to write a little bit about themselves and why they want to be chosen to go to Korea.

NonY:
+ Show Spoiler +
Hi, my name is Tyler Wasieleski, I'm 22 years old and I'm from San Antonio, Texas, USA. I Love the game of Starcraft and I'm an avid follower of the e-Sports scene in Korea. I really would like to contribute to the community that has brought me so much entertainment and happiness. My deepest, ultimate goal is to become a StarLeague player and create a surge in e-Sports and the best game in the world, Starcraft. But I realize talking like that is arrogant and such an accomplishment is far in the distance and so I'm mentally prepared for a long stay in Korea. I want to become a progamer because I admire the dedication and professional atmosphere of progaming in Korea and I'd Love to be a part of that. I believe I have a mature and grounded desire to become a progamer - as a 22-year-old in the USA, I have received some higher education and have been out in the real world, but after much time and thought I know for certain that I want to pursue progaming with 100% effort.

I want to become a progame because I want to the the very best Starcraft play that I can be. I want to be the guy raising the bar for mechanics rather than the guy trying to keep up and I want to be the guy creating the new best strategy rather than the guy trying to understand what others have done. I want to push my potential to the max by getting tons of practice against the best in the world rather than practicing a fraction of the time against amateurs. I think back to an interview with Ma Jae-Yoon:

Why did you decide to become a progamer at a relatively young age?
Savior: Back in those days I was just like any other student who loved to game during free time. Occasionally I had oppertunities to play against progamers. Of course, I lost most of them but I actually won a couple. That's when I thought, "Wow, if I were given the same amount of practice time as these progamers, I don't think I would ever lose." It was that possibility and the confidence that made me become a progamer.

I can identify very much with this answer and I really hope to have a chance to show my potential.

Something interesting about me is that I was one of the best Red Alert, Red Alert: Aftermath and Dune 2000 players back when I was only 12-14 years old! I stayed on top of the official ladder of those games for many months, getting first multiple times. I woke up early before school and played games to improve my rank and skill and I also played after school, of course. It was funny explaining to my parents the letters of congratulations that I received from Westwood (the games' creators) and the prizes I received in the mail. Even though I've taken a long break from being one of the best in the world at a video game (I preferred competing in sports throughout high school and college), I am ready to do it again!

Fenix:
+ Show Spoiler +
My name is Jian Carlos Joan Morayra Alejo, I am 16 yrs old, I was born in Lima-Peru, and everyone knows me as Fenix.

I started playing starcraft at the age of 9, since then, my goal has been to represent my country as best as posible, and today I reached hat goal and have had many opportinities to represent my country in international tournaments.

I traveled as champion of WCGPERU2007, to USA, Seattle, also represented the whole of Latin america in the tournament known as IEST-Ievnovo 2007 in China-Beijing and two months ago I won the WCG2008 Pan American Championship, taking the first place in Monterrey-Mexico, as of for Online tournaments, at the age of 11 I won my first 1500$ in the Sandlot Blizzard tournament, I have won over 30 online tournaments, my last tournament being the scforall tournament/league, finishing in 1st place. For years now im a proud representant of my country.

I have always been in the top notch teams such as iG.(at its prime) xLo. LRM) and now Excello. I am also a member of the korean team “By.” On west, and go by the name of By.Fenix.

My biggest goal and dream, is to become a progamer, since I admire the great dedication, skill and self-sacrifice that the progamers adquire in order to be able to fullfill their own goals.

I strongly believe that I have the perfect 16 age requirements to become a great progamer. For years I’ve awaited for this chance, and I am not going to let it slip for nothing in the world.

I'm Carlo from Italy, I'm 21 and my Starcraft id is ToT)ClouD(.
I don't really have much to say besides I want to become a progamer because I want to win a Starleague. This is my goal and I will give all I have to achieve it.
My main hobby is Starcraft of course and I'd gladly go to Korea because I absolutely Love korean culture and I would like to live it first hand.

DinOt:
+ Show Spoiler +
Hello, my name is Cristobal and I'm 16. I live in Santiago, Chile and I go to school. My ID is MYM.DinOt, Im zerg user and like to play agressive. I started playing three years ago because starcraft it's really funny and competitive. I would like to play in Korea because its seems like a nice experience, playing in a very different country and training to be the best. Something interesting about me is that when propose something to myself I always do it no matter what, and now my goal is go to Korea.

G5:
+ Show Spoiler +
My name is Eric Rothmuller aka Qoo)G5. I am from California, USA, I am 20 years old (soon 21) and I am a Protoss player. I want to come to Korea as a progamer simply because it is what I have always wanted to do, it is my dream. I feel that if given this opportunity and enough time to practice I have the potential to not only compete in the Koreans leagues but succeed in them. I would practice 16 hours a day, non-stop, push myself as hard as I can and give it my all. I have been playing for 10 years and I understand the game very well. I have school and work which doesn't leave me as much time as I would like to play Starcraft but I Love the game and play it as much as I can.

I play a very unique style of Protoss which many people have told me and I often theorize and think about unique builds / unit combos for certain match ups / maps. I am not just a robot who copies builds from pros and do it over and over. My weak points are my mechanics which I can easily improve on if given all day to practice and my strong points are my intelligence in the game. I have always followed the progaming scene and would absolutely Love to take it on and experience it first hand. I have real determination for being a successful player, not just an average player.

My favorite unit combo is Scout / DT in PvZ (sounds stupid but my training partners say its the most imbalanced thing in the world ^_^). My favorite match up is PvZ because it is a very beautiful match up with good unit combinations. My 2nd favorite match up is PvT simply because I Love thinking up build orders for different maps to get around the ever predictable Terran player. PvT is also probably my best match up because I am really good at keeping track of Terran movement and have a lot of experience in PvT. I have been to Korea before and I understand what I am getting into when I say I want to become a progamer. Outside of Starcraft, I really enjoy playing Tennis. This is my other passion, it is also a fantastic game. My favorite players are sAviOr, Iloveoov, Reach and Jaedong. My favorite team is Air Force Ace and my favorite match of all time was the OSL Finals Boxer vs iloveoov.

All I can really say in regards to becoming a progamer is that I understand the position I would be in, where my skill level is at the moment and how much I would need to improve and that I would give it my absolute best so that I will never have any regrets about how hard I tried. I will give it my heart and soul and that is all I can do. I don't know what else I can say about myself.

Thank you for this opportunity. - Eric "G5" Rothmuller

Hello I뭢 Alejandro, Online ID : NaH_DeSkA, I live in Michoac�n, Mexico, I am 17 years old, my history began 10 years ago, I start playing when my brother used to play, he was teaching me, I used to play with him and his friends, I liked so much BW that was interrogating me to come very highly, nevertheless motivate me more when a friend of mine that I was played with him got invited to Korea to the big leagues, for my it was a big satisfaction to be still training, it was in 2001, My friend could not go and that made me disappoint, he said to me " you have talent and can exploit it simply with the age that you have " it helped myself to still on the road to go very far, I had a time in which i took a time off for questions of school but now I cannot leave the opportunity that it뭩 appearing to me
For my more than other thing feel a great happiness on having seen that someone as me have the opportunity of giving to know to my country Mexico, not only to Mexico but to all the Latin players, for my has not been easy to come shaft here, nevertheless I have proposed many goals to me, in spite of the fact that I have had stumbles feel that they have helped me to be growing as player, has happened to me that the people do not play like before, now they play of different way since the time changed, they used only to win a simple game without mattering like, now what they do it is to play a motivated and entertaining game.
My style is maybe a bit risky for a few players and maybe they don뭪 like it so much, but i like to play this way, i like to invent techs and to win using them, i would like to go to Korea to be even better and to be emphasized for being Latin and Mexican. ^^

Machine:

Hi my name is Bryce Bates and I am 20 years old. I live in USA. I am Machine[Media], my hobbies are basically watching UFC, Jujitzu and starcraft. I have been playing this awsome game for about 5-6 years now " about 4 years if im only counting non money maps and 1v1". It has always been my dream to go to korea and to compete at a professional level. I picked Zerg because i like their mobility, I like their macro, and I Love mutal control :D.
I think that I have what it takes to go to korea because I am still at a young age, I am willing to learn and I want to be the best. I have the drive to play this game at a professional level, I am constantly improving, I already play on average about 40-50 games a day, and if I was in a pro house surrounded by awsome practice partners I believe my skill would multiply. I am not saying im the best out here though, I know I am far from it but in a matter of months already I have managed to turn myself into a much better player and their is still alot of room for improvement that I am more than willing to fix.
Another thing that i believe is one of my better traits is my speed, I average about 280 apm which is alot higher than most forginers and is on a competitive level with most koreans. I think that if i was given a chance to play on a professional team at a professional level that I could make something of myself.
I completly understand what a change moving to korea and trying to become a progamer would be and I am willing to accept that. I would just Love to become a part of the community that I have watched for so many years and to finnaly be given a chance to prove my worth to it.

Thank you for giving me this chance!

Hey there, I'm ZpuX from sweden, currently studying mechanical engineering.
Always thought it would be cool to go to korea as a progamer, because I Love to play competitive and I see this as a big opportunity to do what I've always wanted.

A funny fact, my sister is adopted from south korea when she was ~1 years old, she is also the very same person who introduced me to starcraft for the first time. I bet they are born with a starcraft gene somewhere!

Predator:
+ Show Spoiler +
Hello everyone, I'm 20 years old male student of IT living in Poland and my name is Jacek Sendrowski also known as Predator, zerg user .I'm a StarCraft player since 2000 and almost from beggining i wanted to go to Korea and play with the best out there.Now when i have the chace... it's really nice and incredible feeling.After a one year break i was still able to qualify into TOP16 of such prestigious Qualification Tourney like Spirit.



So yeah, i was only 12 when i began my journey with StarCraft.At that time i've heard there will be a small tourney organized in my City, so i prepared with my brother.That was the first time when i felt Love to this game.I've met a lot of friends which are still playing even today.From that time i've improved a lot i think.I didn't had any great success but now its my time!

I'm a person which knows what wants to do,i have spirit for this game and always try to give 110% from myself.Every game counts for me, i'm analyzing my own loses to get better and better.Also i'm following Korean Progaming scene.

I think that i'm able to suprise everyone and show my skills,my 8 year experience can prove this for sure.

Also cheers for polish community (hi Netwars.pl) and thank you Artosis for such a chance.I'm coming for yaaa~

Arcneon:

Hi my name is Matti and I'm 21 years old. I livei n Finland, Rauma and I Love SC! My online ID is iG.Arcneon. I'd Love to be a progamer right now, it would just time wisely fit in my life now. I've been interested of this game since it came out and I immediately started playing online, It's been 10 years now and I'm still playing the game, and as far as I know I'm pretty good at it too.

I have a lot potential, I can game on for hours and hours, days to days and weeks to weeks and apparently year to year ;p I know I can become a lot better player than what I am at the moment, simply because I'm NOT at my top at the moment. I just came back about a month ago or so from almost 2 years off bw time, I was doing military service and other stuff in life during this time, but now I find myself playing the game again, I've been playing past 2 weeks pretty hard to get my skills back and I think I'm doing a fine job. I still play without any sounds whatsoever, I just totaly rely on my minimap observing on gamewise, I like to listen to music a lot so winamp is just playing on the background 24/7.

I'm a totally evolving player, I don't think I am the best, ever. I always take my opponents seriously and play my best game. When I find holes in my games, I tend to fix them the best possible ways I can imagine of. I don't really care of the game results I'm having if I have evolved during the game, for exsample, about 2 weeks ago I was not very good still, my macro was totally off cause of the no-playing time I've had and I spotted this, so I just played and did nothing but concentrated on my macro. I lost many games cause of this but I was very happy after a week because my macro had gotten way... WAY better. Now I can match top players with my macroing again, which obviously is needed. Every game I lose, if I don't know why I lost, I always find it out. Doing this lead me to saving every single rep I've played since the replay saving option came available. If I don't know what went wrong, I will look the replay as many times as needed to see it, and when I see it, I fix it.

I know there's better players than me, and always will be. But I can shape up a lot and give just about anyone a good run for their money.

I'm a very dedicating person, when I want to do something, I do it the best I can, and everything on the side can stay on the side. I'm totally focused to what I do at the time.

My old dream was to become a progamer when I was younger, I haven't had this dream for couple years, but when I heard about this tournament, the old dream came alive. I want to become a progamer and I'm willing to do a lot to get there.

Right now all I do is exersize and play sc hoping all the time that I would get picked out. Well that's about it, I go play some games !

And thanks a lot for making a tournament like this, I just wish it would have been a lot earlier when I was in shape
Huge inspiration still, great job !

Hi, I'm Marius Overhageb�ck also known as mTwAMD-HoRRoR from Germany.
I have been playing Starcraft for five years now (3 years "lowmaps") and I'm still interested in competing with other good players, I like the competition in general.
I'll enjoy the hard fights and lets see if I'll be able to win.
My race is terran and I like to play an uncommon style.
Looking forward to the tournament matches ;p.

I predict Nony to take this, but CaStrO is a strong contender aswell.

the only people that can eliminate Nony are P's and some t's.. Fenix is actually quite good TvP. Unfortunately any Z that hits Nony is toast (for that z.. nony is who I root for ).

Nony and G5 have the most potential of all the players. No doubt about that.

Who has the most determination, dedication and nerves to be able to perform offline though? That i don't know.

Fenix is sort of an underdog too, beacuse of his young age he can develop alot over there.

You can't say someone like Nony has the most potential when there's people that are 6 years younger. For a 16 year old, 6 years is a lot.

But surely Nony is one of the strongest and certainly not too old.

Also, the older people have been playing for a long time. The younger ones haven't. Maybe that matters a bit.

Finland seems to have quite a few good Starcraft players, but many of them are unknown

I disagree. They used to have a few good players.. arcneon, aqrash, napolean and perhaps 1-2 more are all that come to mind though. And all of them are known.
