(P)State

[image loading]

Source: Daily eSports

Summary:
- State's dream has come true
- 2nd foreign player to join a Korean team in Proleague after MajOr
- Was considering moving back to America after fOu disbanded, but was given an opportunity to stay with Prime who just so happened to live in the same apartment building as fOu.
- Gerrard was quoted saying "As of right now, Ryan (State) is still lacking in skill but he is working really hard. We will make sure we do all that we can so that he can rise up to a new level like never before.

Congrats to State. It's a rare occasion when a foreigner joins a Korean team, and I hope that it suits both parties well. He's certainly not going to get worse from joining a KeSPA team.

The reddit thread he made made it seem like he has not yet joined prime, but maybe he will if he gets better. Then your summary doesn't necessarily say he joined the team. Is the title an assumption or does it actually say in the translation he joined prime?
Refer to my post.

I really hope his time in the Prime house helps him a lot. So far the "Korea buff" we expect foreigners training in Korea to get is not as large as I'd hoped. I have a good feeling about this though. He probably won't be seen in tournaments for a while now but when he does reappear look out

프라임 입단
프라임 = Prime
입단 = Join

Pretty sure State himself can't say that he joined Prime unless an official announcement came out first. Here it is.

그는 결국 프라임에 입단하면서 자신의 꿈을 이뤘다.
Translation: In the end, he joined Prime and fulfilled his dream.

Fenix wasn't in Korea for most of his time on IM, making it very difficult to play in GSTL.

Super huge congratulations to state and root.

He's "on hiatus"

I remember there was some backlash since he talked about how he felt like a terrible player for losing to a bunch of "average LA players"... who all had more results than he had.

I watched this guy stream back in 2010 I think when he was nobody. Now look at him. What a guy.
Can we help spread the word and create pressure to get Rob Pardo to replace Browder as head of Sc2? Pardo led the team for broodwar, frozen throne, and wow/BC. We need to make this a thing before LotV development starts. Think about it.

it is a little tricky because the article doesn't explicitly say that he's a prime member... for example in the first paragraph it says that he's included on the prime roster for the upcoming round 2 of proleague. the article also gave a little shoutout to fruitdealer lol

Although I don't think he'll get to play in PL it' still a huge thing for him, being on a korean team and getting to practice day in and day out with guys like byun creator and mkp is a huge boon for every foreigner, even if prime is pretty much the worst team in korea right now. Nearly every foreigner who got this teamhouse experience for a extended time improved a lot.

So gratz and GL.

That's great for State if it makes him happy and fulfilled, but I fear he won't be able to make a whole lot of money, at least not for a while (that's my opinion, though).

He seemed like a nice guy at homestory cup. Wish him best of luck, hopefully he has the right mentality and passion to train hard in Korea!

Lacking skill?! top 100(50?) GM in KR is no joke! We've all seen his games vs flash. He can definitely show some sick games in the future, no doubt.

Good luck Ryan! :D

Being top GM in kr isn't as impressive as people might think. At least it isn't as much as it was in wol. There is a big lack of people playing in the servers on Korea, so simply there is more room for players on the gm list than there was before.

I'm not trying to diminish his ability, but I think we should judge him on his games rather than his rank on the Korean server.

i'm pretty sure the main method of korean progamers to practice is still ladder, even kespa teams. sure you can get top 50 GM with sub 50% win rates, but it shows that at least you're not bad

I'm not saying he is a bad player, I think Gm in any server is still an achievement, but we shouldn't put so much weight into ladder rankings. We shouldn't assume this guy will be the next savior of foreigners in starcraft 2 only because he is top 50 gm on korean server.

I think its best to wait until we see him play to really judge his skill.
