I don't really know what estro is trying to accomplish with this. I guess it looks cool to have one foreigner on your team when the cameras look at you during pro league. [...] As already has been mentioned, I also think that it is for marketing issues. North America is an interesting, if not the most interesting market for e-sports as it still has a huge growth potential. However, I do not know how having a North American player will help them to accomplish anything in the USA/Canada. They must have some big PR activities in mind because I don't think so many people would follow "the life of a (non-korean) progamer". :O | ||

And, as I said when it was first announced - great initiative but, 5 years too late  Nothing can be done about it being 5 years too late tho, so Iet's just hope it pans out well and that whoever wins has a good time in korea/does well. | ||

When you mention how Artosis and others don't improve a lot it's very true, they/he doesn't. But it's not because of this magical thing you call "talent" -- it's because he's an idiot and plays newbies all night. If he'd ever practice correctly (vs people who don't suck), he'd learn as quick as anyone else. Fact. Not that I don't agree about the other parts. I'd still like to see other skilled guys in Europe/etc to be able to have this opportunity, but the "top teir" of them have already turned down their offers (and the other guys who haven't gotten them just don't give a shit). I think it's kind of ironic you shit on Artosis, btw, after coming back from a progaming team and not even making it to round 3 in US WCG. All the while you acted pretty shy, too. I guess being an internet warrior is "in" though. | ||

Unless of course you're 100IQ and the other person is 200IQ, which still isn't talent. Talent is that magical word we all like to use to make ourselves or someone else feel good, but that doesn't make it real. Sorry. Anyone in that list could become an amazing player if they were on a professional team for long enough. When you mention how Artosis and others don't improve a lot it's very true, they/he doesn't.

If he'd ever practice correctly (vs people who don't suck), he'd learn as quick as anyone else. Fact. that's not true at all dude. are you not physically aware that all of those ideal conditions already exist and there's still a huge disparity in skill between someone like Bisu and someone like Jju? Like seriously how can you say that Artosis would progress as quick as any other person like its true? He'll progress faster or slower than other people in identical conditions, and the difference is that 'talent' thing you don't believe in. | ||

"anyone can get there with practice" is what people tell themselves to feel good. it's what talentless people use to justify why they aren't getting anywhere, when in reality no matter how hard they work they'll never be as good as someone with talent. i agree you need both talent+work ethic+ circumstances to be a champion, but to deny that the talent portion exists is just ignorant. also, you can say that talent+work ethic are the same thing. some people are just born / learn the ability to work hard and be diligent. this is a "talent" just as much as moving fast is. | ||

its accepted that the line of influence on success is somewhere in the middle between the two, to deny that either factor doesn't exist is really just ridiculous its a combination of both... if you think hard work and circumstances matter more that's a much more acceptable position than "talent doesn't exist" | ||

@ Skew: I had your opinion once, but I changed my mind. Talent is small, it can be overlooked easily, I think this is why you don't realize it. You probably know that the smallest things make the biggest differences. | ||
