Congrats Idra, I hope you take the offer (if you get it), if for nothing more than just the experience.

This seems to be what people were saying in the testie thread too...so...
Anyone who played in this tourney actually going to go if they get invited?
Young USA players who are still in high school... I really doubt any of them will go... or be allowed to go I should say... but GJ idra, thats a nice cash prize
The mentality of video games in USA is just far too different than in korea, and honestly, you really have to be dedicated to starcraft and the only way to succeed is if you stay for at least 2 years spending hours upon hours gaming everyday.
Sure it may be a experience... but there's a fine line between a good experience, and merely a waste of time and life, that also might make you become fairly unhealthy, anti social, depressed, frustrated and generally insane. A good experience would be living in Korea for a few years, with a decent job, and the freedom to explore the great country that it is, while meeting new and interesting people and generally learning a lot from this. Instead of staying inside all day playing starcraft, which if you don't have the proper skills (see Rekrul threads), or language, can be a bad decision. Although I am unaware of the regulations that constrict the progamers from being able to explore the country, I am sure they are quite strict.
Nevertheless, an experience is an experience, and although it may be a bad experience, the gain of knowledge is inevitable.
gl if any of the invited decide to go
